*** Please view all the photos and read the entire description to appriciate what a truly spectacular truck this is*****************

I can e mail vidio's of the truck running, performing, several walk arounds,etc...

History : This truck is the personal weekend driver of one of the owners of Advantage Autoworks In North Richland Hills Texas (Fort Worth). Advantage Autoworks sits on a 3 acre facility in North Texas and has made quite a name for themselves over the last 23 years specializing in mostly Chevrolet, ford ,and some exotics here and there. They employ a staff of 18 people and usually have a 6 to 8 month wait just to get a car in for restoration. Go to advantageautoworks.com to see what type of facility this truck origanated from. The truck it self had about 135 thousand origanal miles on it , seemed to be a very rust free survivor type truck that hadent been around the block too many times. At some point in time had a small block chevy installed (327 ) from a 67 camaro 210 hp based on the numbers. That was a good choice for the time , but had to go for this truck.

Restoration: This truck was completely dissasembled down to just the bare cab and frame, then stripped to bare metal, followed up by sand blasting the cab to top to bottom to kill any corrosion from days past. The body and all pieces were then epoxy primed after any metal work was done to give the truck a good level of corrosion protection. All the body panels were then body worked, primed, blocked, re primed to a very above average high level plat form for the urethane base coat clear coat paint to follow. I would not say this truck is flawless by any means or the straightest truck on the planet, but has a well above average paint and body finish out. My objective was to make the appearance nice enough to show, but I never intended this to be a 200 thousand dollar trailer queeen build, but something I was not afraid to drive.

Drive Train: The truck is powered by a small block chevy engine that was completly gone through and updated with vortec style cylinder heads and eddlebrock vortec style aluminum intake manifold, all high quality internals, high compression pistons (runs great on 03 octane pump gas), gear drive timeing chain, aluminum time chain cover, aluminum high flow water pump, billit pullys, aftermarket performace balancer, aluminum retro style finned valve covers, holley 780 cfm carb, roller rockers, high volumn performance fuel pump, mallery quart style fuel filter, etc.... the list goes on. I never had the engine dyno'd , but feel it makes in the 400 plus range. I wanted to build the truck with enough power to make it fun, but fully driveable and reliable. See the vidio to hear it run , and did a litlle burn out for a block or so to show what fun it can be.Transmission: 700r4 overdrive with performance stall converter, backup up by a 12 bolt posi traction rear end with 373 gears. With the overdrive trans, this gives you great off the line performance , but still allows you to drive 75 down the freeway while monitoring the oem in dash factory tachomitor. Exhaust system: Hooker super competition ceramic headlers backed up by 2.5 inch ceramic coated complete exhaust with flow master mufflers to give this truck an extrodiany nasty sound backed up with a cam to make beatiful music. It has no annoying tone when driving, not too load under normal driving , but sings when you put the pedal to the metal.

suspension/brakes: The truck achived such a ride quality by the following. 1st , the frame was completly dissasembled , sand blasted , then the center section was boxed and reinforced to stiffen up in all the right places, we welding in the new trans crossmmember to accomodate the updated over drive trans, then sent it to the powdercoater to be coated in semi gloss for durability and looks. All the other suspension parts were powedercoated also at the same time. We replace the the rear lower trailing arms with updated reinforced performance onces, install a set of dropp spindles, lowering springs on all 4 corners, kyb gas performance shocks, along with front and rear sway bars to give the truck a ride like no other. The truck has a stance the looks great , but not slammed to the ground . The front brake system is 5 lug disk that would have been on most of the late 70s into the 80s half tone trucks, with a chrome master cylender, booster, updated proportioning valve,et.... The back brakes are truck drums that work great, all rebuilt, new park brake cables etc...

Interior/comforts: The interior was gutted down to nothing, cab painted to high gloss black ,then completly dynamated fire wall ,floors, etc.., then a factroy style firewall pad was installed, followed up with complete oem style new underdash harness , and all new wireing from front to back. The modest sterio system was then installed with an orion 4 channnell amp that powers the front and rear speakes that fill the cab with an awesome sound thats not over the top .The kenwood am/fm cd player is equiped with an auxilliary input for i phones, ipods, etc.... Factory Gauge truck(not base warning lamps) were all tested, repaired, or replaced to ensure reliablility at the time of restoration. Everything inside the truck was cleaned, plated, painted , or replaced along the way. Weather stips, door felts, etc.. all new, glove box liner new, visors,carpet, etc...all new . vintage air/heat was installed to give you all seasons of comfort while driveing, chrome plated ac compressor (not polished ) , works great.,updated aluminum dash control knobs on ac,not cheap plastic like most others.Leather custom seat with custom fit seat brackets , center console folds up for 3 person seating , while it folds down for arm rest, drink storage , and has 2 storage compartments, one below the seat bottom in the center, and one in the flip up arm rest. All 3 sections slide forward ,back, and recline for the optimum flexability. Retractable seat belts also keep things neat and tidey along with the saftey . I have a 10 year old daughter that means the world to me , so I made sure we could stap her in for the fun times we spend in the truck.

Bed/Exterior Trim:The bed was completely dissasembled, sand blasted , and then restored inside and out with a show finish on the inside as well as the outside. Even the interior bed wheel wells have been buffed. The bed wood was hand scraped By Mikes hardwood flooring prior to an automotive grade clear being applied in multiple coats, sanded, then re cleared to achieve the finish . Bed strips were replaced with polished stainless, and all stainless hardware. A Few subltle touches were made on the bed by deleteing the stake pocket holes, deleteing the tail gate latches, and being replace by a high strength stap for holding the gate. Could not bring myselt to seeing those chains dangling and sctratching the show finisn.

ALL CHROME/ALUMINUM TRIM NEW: All trim items such as bumpers, grill, all exterior body side moldings were replaced ,or replated ,along with all the bumper brackets being sand blasted and powerdercoated duiring the restoration. New windshield , back glass , but side glasses are origanal with some signs of wear, but still respectable.

Wheels/tires: Rims are new gm 15x8 painted urethane gloss black , with Bfg radial ta tires , dressed out with wheel vintiques ribbed rings, and bow tie center caps. Some people like the steely wheel look, if you dont , totally change the appearance with a set of magnesium center salt flats, or any kind of aluminum custom wheels, of possibly just chande the center caps to the spyder bullets. I have thought about all these options down the road or just enjoy as is.

Summarry: Is this truck perfect, no its not.It is extremely nice for the money i am asking if your in the market for something you can drive, show, or just own and dont want to be in the 60 to 100 plus category that you can easily do. I do it for a living , you could easily spend 50 plus on a truck you already own in restoration cost, or let me take the bath , but I have enjoyed it for the past 3 years,put about 5 thousand miles on it without a glitch, and nothing in life is free. I am not going to fire sale the truck, just have too many cars right now, and have decided to keep my super rare ,super valuable ones due to storage restraints. Also will be selling a 51 chevy rat/farm ride high end build, classic triumph motorcye, 54 packard caribean convertable, etc....in the near future as i have time to list them.Call with any questions. 817-773-1852 ask for chris.

2016 Chevrolet Malibu First Drive [w/video]

Mon, Dec 7 2015

You have to appreciate honesty in this business. When a car company admits its offering in a segment isn't up to the task, it catches you by surprise. The surprisingly open Chevy reps stopped short of saying that making the last Malibu smaller was a mistake, but given that the righting of the ship included a lengthening of this new model, it was certainly implied. The eighth-generation Malibu lasted only three years, with a major update coming just one year in to try and fix some of the bigger concerns. The goal for the 2016 Malibu wasn't to make a competent product better, it was to make an okay one good again. That started with a stretch. The Malibu is long again, a big car that meets America's warped idea of a midsized car. Because of this, the Malibu's dimensions sidle up to the Impala's. In fact, it's within a fraction of an inch of the Impala's wheelbase measurement, and sits right between the last Malibu and the Impala in terms of EPA passenger volume. The back seat gets the most of the payoff, bringing it back into competition with other midsized counterparts. The Malibu is now one of the longest in the segment, but also among, if not the, lightest. The 2016 model is claimed to be about 300 pounds lighter than its dimensionally challenged predecessor. While most new models tend to choose between lighter or larger these days, Chevy managed not-insignificant improvements to both. Styling doo-dads no longer separate the trim levels, it's the features inside that fuel the upsell. Some of that weight came out of the front end. The aluminum hood is lighter than before, and we'd wager that's because it stops very short of the leading edge of the car. Instead, the nose is enshrouded in a big plastic fascia, which has to be an advantage at the scales but creates a somewhat unfinished look. That's amplified by the fact that everything ahead of the hood is a bit busy, and actually surprisingly aggressive, in contrast to the rest of the design. The new Cruze, with its cowl-to-grille hood, wears a more cohesive new-Chevy front end. The styling adopts the, dare we say it, coupe-like look of many (most?) new family sedans. The profile is attractive enough but almost generic now since the Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, and others have already moved in this direction. The rear-end styling is inoffensive, almost original Mercedes CLS meets current Impala.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?

Sun, Jan 10 2016

Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production Â– which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says Â– it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
