I hate to see this truck go, but I just bought an '08 and don't have room for it in my shed.  This truck was a locally purchased truck new and has been in the same family since then.  Last year it was sold outside the family to a friend of the family and he took it to Colorado last summer to pick up a camper.  It comes with a very nice camper fifth wheel hitch that bolts in the box.  I bought it from him to get me by until I got my new truck.  I fell in love with it and am not crazy about selling it, but I don't want to see it just sitting outside.  This would make a great Harley hauler.  It has the old school look.  It even has a few Harley stickers on it now...  They look good.  All things aside, this truck turns heads.  It isn't because of the shiny paint...(its not too shiny anymore) It's because it is a classic Chevy truck that doesn't have a small block gas engine.  It has that awesome diesel sound, with nice dual exhaust, and the classic two tone paint job that so many Americans are familiar with.  This truck is not a rust bucket...yes it does have rust, but nothing that can't be fixed.  It would make a great restoration project.  It comes with two complete rust free doors!  The engine was upgraded from the 6.2 to a crate 6.5 about 60,000 miles ago!  This was a major expense as you can imagine.  I also have the paperwork for the newly rebuilt 700R4 overdrive auto tranny.  The truck has a good radio, power windows that work like new, power locks, steering, brakes, etc.  It also has a tilt column!  Cruise all hooked up but I think has a vacuum leak.  The air conditioning works great and blows cold!  (good luck finding a truck like this for this price, that has working air!).  I have lots of receipts for recent brakes etc.  The box floor is perfect.  It is galvenized and is NOT beat up at all.  The front box panel is great, and the tailgate is like new other than paint.  The frame is very strong.  The truck rides down the road like a Cadillac....REALLY!  I've owned many Caddy's and this truck rides and handles awesome!  The engine and tranny obviously work flawlessly.  I can't say enough about how reliable this thing is.  I am selling it with two brand new studded snow Blizzek's!  It also comes with 4 excellent Goodyears.  I took a close up of the tread.  You will be amazed with this truck as soon as you start it up with a flip of the switch and cruise down the road.  Please call me if you have any questions.  319-231-8974,  Thanks so much for listening to me ramble.  Please call.  This truck will NOT disappoint you.  Justin

Ebay's 'title check' system is misleading.  If you click on 'title history' you will see that the only title issue is that the odometer was checked "not original" when transferred from the original family to the gentleman that bought it last summer to get his camper.  I bought it from him.  The vehicle has been from Waverly Ia (nearby town to Clarksville and Janesville) it's whole life.  Please take a look at 'Why" this scored low on the title check.  I have a clear title in hand.  Thanks.  Justin

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
