I am selling a 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe project car that was born on April 16,1968 in Dearborn Michigan. It was the 180,214th Mustang produced in the year 1968. The original exterior color is Acapulco Blue Metallic. The original interior was light blue crinkle vinyl with dark blue kiwi vinyl. It is a "C code" car, meaning it has the 289 V8 with the 2V carburetor. The transmission is the C4 automatic transmission. It has a 2.79:1 rear end gear ratio. The rear shocks are air adjustable. The car was running and driving a couple months ago. It turns over but it is currently NOT running. But we strongly believe the engine should be able to run fairly easy. We believe the problem is it needs a new ignition coil and points. There is some rust. Floor pans will need to be patched in places and replaced in other spots, possible quarter panel replacement, battery tray will need to be replaced. On the bright side, the front and rear frame rails appear to be strong as well as the trunk floor and the seat risers. Tires hold air and the brakes are not locked up and they are working, so loading onto a trailer will not be a problem. All parts are there except for some interior pieces. Some minor bodywork has been started on the fenders. This is a GREAT PROJECT CAR that is NOT running but should not take much at all to have her running as we had her running and driving like a champ just a couple of months ago. Again, this car is a solid foundation for a project. Asking $2,500 or best cash offer. Sold as is with no warranty. Bill of sale only. I hold the right to end auction early as I am also selling it locally. $500.00 deposit due within 3 days and remaining balance and pickup within 7 days.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.

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?

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
