Super straight southern pickup truck. If you are looking for a turn key ride, that's not full of body filler, and is a beautiful driver, this is the truck. It is a 1971 model, and it is not perfect, but it is a really nice solid truck. Floor pans look to be original and are solid with no rust. Had a Body Shop manager look this truck over from top to bottom. He found no body filler, but did say that the rockers had been replaced, and the doors looked like they have been skinned. He found no work done to the bed. The dash pad has a few cracks, but is presentable. The seat has been recovered and looks very well done. The heater controls and the heater core and the heater blower motor have been removed. And there are aftermarket gauges and a switch panel installed to control the necessary functions of the truck. Interior door panels are aftermarket, but again was very well done. Very nice carpet. Now the drive train. The engine came out of a 56 Chevrolet my friend is restoring. The block has been milled sometime in its life and the engine code is very hard to read, but with a magnifying glass, I found what looks to be RQ, which match's the casting number years for a 1964 8 cylinder 327. Motors breakdown for the engine is RQ /1964/8-327-w-M/T-A/C-HPE. But I in no way guarantee that is what the engine is. But I have built, raced and enjoyed many small block Chevrolet engines. It has a hydraulic mid-range camshaft that has that really cool idle and sounds like your buddy's L79. And I'm sure this engine has been balanced. Has that radical sound and does not shake or vibrate. The engine has an Edelbrock Manifold and Carb. The mileage on the truck or engine is unknown, but it does smoke, shuts off tight, and runs like a scalded dog. Clutch is tight and does not slip.The transmission is a M20 Muncie 4 speed with a Hurst Shifter and is quite as a church mouse. Rear differential has 4:11 gears. The installation of the driveline is not all monkeyed up, and is very well done, with new motor and transmission mounts. The exhaust is Rams horn manifolds and goes through flowmaster mufflers and sounds really good. If you decide to put the interior back to the original look, most of the parts needed are brand new and come to with the truck. The heater controls, the ignition switch, the dome light, dash and dash bezel, wiper arms and blades, antenna, etc. , see pictures. If you wanted to put the heater box, heater core, and blower motor back in the truck, it can be done easily. The firewall just has plates blocking the holes. Remove the plates and reinstall the parts. This truck drives like a new 1971, handles nice, doesn't wonder, rides like it did in 1971. Now down to the important part. Ask questions, come and see the truck. I'm selling this truck for a friend. If you are the winning bidder, be prepared to pay for it with in 10 days of auction end. And the truck is being sold AS-IS, I have described it as honestly as I can. You can message me through eBay and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. Thanks for looking.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
