This is a classic custom "Muscle Truck" that I custom ordered brand new in '96 with all the right options such as heavy duty cooling and engine and trans oil coolers, 3.42:1 posi differential, A/C,PL,PS,PB,tilt wheel, cruise, int. wipers, rear sliding window. It has a Vortec Supercharged 5.0 V8. It's in excellent condition and the mileage is all original and super low. It has been dropped professionally with all Bell Tech components consisting of the 2" drop springs and 2" drop spindles in front with a 6" drop and reinforced C-section in back for that classic muscle truck look and runs all Bell Tech Nitro Drop shocks. It has a hard fiberglass tonneau cover from Traders covering the bed and there is a thick rubber bed mat for protection and to make sure cargo doesn't slide around. The wheels are super rare ORIGINAL Boyd's Lotus design, I was told that these were the first set sold..can't prove that but I know they took 3 months to get them to me. These wheels are very light which is great for handling. The tires are Goodrich T/A's with 245/60-15 in front and 275/60-15 in back. I also added a rear sway bar which makes it handle more like a Firebird than a pickup. It comes with 3 pulleys and belts for the blower to vary the boost but I would recommend adding another injector and a power programming for the high boost pulley. The exhaust is an Edelbrock cat back system terminating in hidden 96 Corvette tips. I wanted a unique hood scoop different from the usual cowl induction stuff you always see in use so I incorporated a genuine Enderle funny car bug catcher into the hood and designed a throttle cable system to work with the throttle pedal action. The cable and hardware are all available and are the same parts used on funny cars so you know they are good high quality materials. The blower whine and the way the truck looks really causes heads to turn on the street! The trans has a TransGo Trans Pak in it for snappy shifts, second gear gets real nice chirps out of those T/A's. This truck will cruise effortlessly and running at 80 mph takes nearly no throttle input and mountain grades do not affect it. There's a pillar mounted Autometer Boost gauge to keep up on the output from the Vortec. It has a Speed Grill in anodized aluminum and a custom front bumper with KC driving lights built in with stone covers that swivel up into the bumper for a clean look. It has a Sony stereo system with a 10 disk changer behind the seat...I couldn't get it to work the other day, it's had little use, might need cleaning but the head unit is fine. The truck has new custom paint with a great silver on top that has a ton of fine metal flake in it and the bottom is a medium blue that will turn from blue to dark blue and purple as the light changes. The blue has deep fine metal flake and then a very light fine flake in the top layers which look like stars above the base flake. Then the colors are separated with a custom painted pinstripe in lime green which really sets it off. The truck took best in class first time out. I recently had the silver redone (got scratched) and more clear over both colors and it looks fantastic, even better than it did in last years show! This is a 100% non smoker truck. It's probably very safe to say this is a one off and you won't find another like it anywhere. This is a NICE super low mile one owner custom truck! If you are looking for something that will stand out and be exclusive then this is it! Although the truck is in excellent condition there is no warranty of any kind expressed or implied and is being sold as is. Ok, now that that is out of the way bid to win this fun and great looking head turning truck!

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
