Drivetrain Is Sweet, If You Can Do A Little Body And Interior This Is A Dream on 2040-cars

So there's more in the motor and tranny than the asking price...Motor is a rebuilt all work done in the last 3 years including Crower cam and roller rockers 350, being fed by an Edlebrock polished alum carb, and performer intake. It's cooled by a brand new radiator with stock but new clutch fan, and an electric fan in the front. The transmission was rebuilt to handle the extra horsepower, and shift respectibaley when required....it's fast! Has a B&M Slap shifter, but can easily be converted back to column...The seats are gray leather electric, with center console, of course not stock. The stereo will easily drive you out of the car unless you are already deaf...Rims and tires are American Racing 17" with performance tires easily over $2k invested and over 90% tread left. The exhaust is sweet, handles great with the big tires, get's lot's of looks. Very reliable daily driver, has been to Vegas a few times, just did a 100+ mile trip with no issue's. Bumpers are straight, body is sweet other than a few spots where the paint popped from the primer, and the drivers side headlight surround is buggered up. Could use a carpet kit, but the headliner is cherry. The bed is rust free, but there is a little on the driver's side floorboard easily fixed with a patch panel, not the whole thing. Great driver project, as you can see looks great from a distance. I just went over the whole car with 320 wetsand, and these are the pic's, so what you see is what you get. I just bought a "New" Reproduction fender extension to repair the only dent on the car, I already have the bezels, and the missing piece of chrome trim around the grill. I also have the missing passenger side mirror, and SS badging for the fenders. I am still looking for a wing window crank on the driver side, I have the old one but it's busted in the middle...JB weld? Probably have the hood fixed before it's sold as I'm taking it to the El Cajon car show on thursday...gotta have fun!

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
