Great old Chevy pickup... use it as an occasional hauler / rider or do a full/partial restore for show/fun. I've owned this truck for about 6 years, put about 6 thousand miles on her... bought it from an old friend who owned it for almost 40 years, bought it from the original owner. She's all original except for the wheels, tires and replacement exhaust (which is routed as original) and, yes, the original AM radio works. When I bought it, I did and/or had quite a bit of work done to prep it for the drive from Denver to Tucson... that's right, drove it, didn't ship it. I had the front end gone over, lower ball joints, a tie rod end or two, alignment, plus water pump, hoses, tune up, wheel bearing repack, new seals, steering box adjust, valve adjust, etc. Did the brakes all around, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, a couple brake lines. Got replacement tires and wheels, a new gas tank (old one was starting to rust), a new windshield (installer took a beating on that one), battery, 'temporarily' topped the old bed boards (still haven't gotten around to permanently replacing those), transmission rebuild w/clutch, replacement exhaust all the way back, all fluids, filters, a bulb or two, etc and off we went. Drove the whole 1000 miles or so (back way, two lanes) replacing just one taillight bulb (missed that one)... great fun. Complements all along the way. Over the past 6 years, I've done things as I've had time... left front fender, all side window glass, another battery (heat here is hell on batteries), speedometer rework, carburetor rebuild, clutch slave cylinder, valve adjust, valve cover gasket, oil and filter at least every 6 months, regardless of miles. She's been garaged most of the time the past 6 years, all of the past 5. Starts every time, with appropriate choke/pump, and does whatever asked... haul grandkids on hay bails for trick-or-treating, dirt/gravel/wood occasionally, a trip to the dump once in a great while, or just a ride for the memories. Drives down the road way better than my motorhome... a little play in the steering (probably needs another steering box adjust) but goes straight down the road with no complaints/pull/wiggle/shake... just like they used to when maintained right. I have over $7000 in her without my labor... bid early and often and she could be yours for far less. I just don't have the time to do her right... hopefully you do.

She still runs fine, and doesn't burn any oil, not a bit of smoke. But, like nearly all old Chevy (and other) trucks, she leaks oil. Probably drops about 3/4 to 1 quart between oil changes, mostly while running or just after, mostly from the front main seal and some from the rear main seal. If you zoom in, you can probably see the caked-on-oil on the undercarriage beneath the engine.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
