This has been my personal truck that I drive to my daily job and side jobs on weekends that I have owned since January 2005. I bought this truck as I intended on going into business for myself as a marine diesel mechanic and added the Omaha tool bed that I bought new in 2006  and my job changed a little. I still drive the truck daily and back and forth to South Carolina a few times a year for work. I really do not want to get rid of this truck because it is paid for and I have had it for so long and know the history of it but I need a crew cab due to kids and have ordered a new truck. I tell you all this stuff because I want you to know what you are buying. The truck runs beautiful no smoke , no leaks  and drives perfect just did a round trip to north Georgia 12 hours each way and would not hesitate to do it again. It has michellin LTX tires on it with good life with no plugs or patches in them, based on my first set they probably have 30,000 left in them. It has eagle 086 aluminum wheels that have clear cote imperfections and chrome lugnuts have surface rust on the chrome. Has a factory trailer hitch with trailer brakes and a new brake controller, I rented a trailer that had brakes and I had to buy a controller to rent the trailer, towed 10,000pounds to SC and got 15mpg doing 70 on the interstate. The engine had the injectors updated around 170,000 miles they were not bad but dealer diagnosed problem incorrectly and did them under the 200,000 mile injector warranty, high pressure fuel pump was bad so I replaced that at the same time. Water pump was replaced at 205,000 miles, rear u-joints have been replaced, all shocks were recently replaced and bumpstops replaced in front, drivers seat was reupholstered at local shop but I think the springs are broken causing the cushion to have sag in it. I rolled the truck over in a accident in 2005 and the insurance company would not total it instead they put a cab and bed on it, you really cannot tell but cab has a gold firewall  the only thing that I could notice after repair. I had a rear end accident with it a few years ago and got a grapefruit size dent  in the bumper so I bought a new one to replace it. I ordered the tool bed the way I wanted it with flip top boxes and the forward compartment goes the width of the bed, inside dimensions are 72"x48" I did this to keep large parts dry, I had diamond plate that lined the bed for protection but removed because a battery leaked in the back and ate a hole in the aluminum and caused rust underneath you can see in the pictures you could easily cut this out and weld a new piece of steel in or put a piece of plywood over it. I get 15mpg in the city and 20mpg on the highway if I keep it under 70mph. Rear axle seals have been recently replaced and I just had a solenoid go bad in the transmission so it got new fluid and filters replaced at the chevy dealer. I hope this detail of the repairs do not derail you but any truck with 245,000 miles is going to have repairs and I just want to be honest about what has been done, I am not a car dealer nor do I want to be one I really hate selling stuff because I want people to know what they are getting. If you have questions or want more pictures let me know send a message. Always have used shell rotella 15-40 oil , ac compressor is less than a year old and I put a new condenser in at the same time. Evaporator was changed after the injector repair as it got damaged during the process, heater works is not bypassed and does not leak, cruise control works, tow haul mode works it has manual windows, four wheel drive works and the rear end has the factory locker in it. Truck has a aftermarket JVC radio with Sirius satellite radio with a fresh 1 year subscription that I will leave in it. Steering wheel has chunk of foam missing so I put a cover on it. The bed came with only 2 holes cut on each side so I did not put in the back-up lights I wil include them with the sale along with all  paperwork , spare parts and manuals I can find for it. It also takes fuel slow due to placement of fuel fill on the utility bed you just cant go wide open with the nozzle or it will spit back at you. take your time and fill slow and is fine, probably could be fixed easy but I got used to it. Antilock brake module is bad I had it repaired and it did not last you do not need it to drive the truck only needed fo abs to work. Air bag light is on and has been on since accident do not know if it needs to be reset or replaced. That's pretty much the entire history of the truck, repairs and minor issues, please do not let my honesty deter you away from this truck as it runs and drives perfect and all you need to do is put your tools in it and go to work

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
