This started as a rust free Palm Springs, CA car. Took me four years to complete. Got a ton of money into it and know I'll take a huge loss, but that's the current market we live in. My third Cancer surgery is on Monday, and even with good insurance the out of pocket costs are steep. Time to let this go and let someone else enjoy it. I'm not a kid anymore anyway. I'll describe it as best I can but will inevitably miss something. Feel free to ask any questions. 12 Years on eBay and I still have perfect feedback.

I bought this as an unfinished project from a guy in Los Angeles who got in over his head and ran out of funds. Well over $40K into it. 1961 Chevrolet in Corona Cream. Excellent recent paint. The interior is leather w/suede inserts. 44" power moon roof in front and 44" fixed moon roof in rear. One piece suede headliner. Dakota Digital dash. IDIDIT steering column. The sound system was featured in the July 2007 issue of Low Rider Magazine called "Wagon Days". Custom built subwoofer and amps hid in spare tire wheel well. All new glass and power windows. (except original tailgate) Rebuilt drivetrain. 396 cubic inch engine and 4L60E transmission. Aluminum radiator with dual electric fans for max cooling. New battery. Dual Flowmaster exhausts. The chassis has new disc brakes on all four corners. The calibers are show chromed. New front end with shocks and springs all the way around. New fuel cell underneath floor compartment in cargo area. The wheels are one off billet prototypes that were eventually deemed too expensive to be put into production. (They were $8,500 alone) 20 x 8.5 in the front and 22 x 11 in the back all wrapped in brand new Goodrich G-Force rubber.

I've since changed the air cleaner to a lower profile model. I included a pic. An extra set of tires is also included. The stickers are still attached. I'll also throw in a Retro Tech shifter if you want it. Paid around a grand for it but ended up liking what was already installed. Not perfect but a very, very nice car. Would most likely only take a few hours to get it entirely up to your liking. Heater delete. Needs oil and fuel cell sending units. Speedometer needs to be calibrated. Instructions and directions for those 3 items included. Can't find anybody in these cornfields to help me with it. Just me and the dog here. Only driven a few times locally so I never worried about it. Might have all of 120 miles on it. I own several cars and motorcycles. Retired so my schedule is extremely flexible. Happy to work with you and your shipper. Storage not a problem. Thanks for your time and consideration. Good luck, good health, stay well.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
