 I'm selling my 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500Hd as a project for someone with the time.  I bought this truck in Texas in 2010 with a service bed on it as it was a fleet truck for a communication company.  I checked at the dealer for service records and the dreaded injectors were replaced at 199k miles.  I recently checked them and are within +- 2.0 which is considered perfect working order.  I did the head gaskets last winter and it does not use coolant.  I bought a bed and welded a home made hitch in which is a pulling truck style but I used it daily for my lawn care business.  Truck has normal fleet damage some dents and scratches.  Overall I would rate the body 6 of 10.  The interior has been used and cleans up okay.  Some panels broke inside but nothing major.  Non smoker for it's entire life.  Windshield has been cracked since I bought it.  Now to the reason it's a project.  I had a built Allison Trans in it that I removed and sold to my cousin and he gave me his good stock one in return.  I don't have the time to mess with it and just want to move on.  Truck ran great the day I pulled the built trans out.  Would make a great pulling truck or a great work truck.  I did use it one year to plow snow.  The truck is virtually rust free because it spent most of its life in Texas.   Truck is being sold AS IS and as a project. It does have a clean title that I have in hand.  I can deliver for a fee or help you load at my house.  Any questions feel free to text me at 5134101446.  Truck is no reserve so one bid and it's gone.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

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.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
