I acquired this 1972 Chevrolet C-30 truck from its original owner this past summer. He bought the truck new in Pulaski VA in 1972 and used it sparingly as his farm truck thus keeping the miles low. The truck has just 22,272 original miles on it! The truck is equipped with its original 350 and 4spd trans. It has power brakes and manual steering.  The truck has not been tampered with or altered mechanically, it runs great! The truck originally had a flatbed on it; the original owner removed the flatbed and installed the dump bed that is on it now. The dump bed works as it should if you chose to keep it as a dump truck.

The truck is an excellent project vehicle, it needs restoration to be first class or give it a good tune up, install a new set of tires and use it as is. The brakes feel good and the trans. shifts great. The tires are old and very dry rotted, fronts are the originals. I have only driven the truck a few miles down the road; it drives good however I would not recommend diving it any distance, it should be hauled.

The cab is in very good condition, some light rust in the cab corners and rh rocker panel, cab mounts and floors are good! The rear of the frame was cut when the dump bed was installed, this would be easy to repair with the rear section of frame from another truck if you choose to change the bed. This is the 157” wheel base, the longest available on a one ton truck in 72; it is an excellent candidate for a car hauler.

I try to give an accurate description of the vehicle, if you have any questions please ask. If you need more pictures I will get them. This is an original one owner truck, still has its original 1972 title. It is a project vehicle that will need to be towed. It is being sold as-is where-is. A $250 deposit is due within 24 hours, the balance in 7 days. The truck should be removed within two weeks unless prior arrangements have been made, I will work with the new owner the best that I can. This is a no reserve auction, the truck will sell to the highest bidder!

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
