Crate 350 w/Automatic Trans - just a few years old with very low miles (estimating 5500) - engine runs/drives GREAT! Starts immediately. Tracks and drives very well on the highway. Real head-turner and lots of 'thumbs-up'! New tail pipes and lots of chrome everywhere! Currently running on the 'Street-legal' Firestone stock-look tires with 16" 8 lug Wheels and Stainless Rings. SALE INCLUDES A COMPLETE SET OF $5000.00 worth of 49" IROK's ON CHROME RIMS - (see pics) Technically, these tires make the truck frame too 'high' to actually be 'street legal'. With that said, I have driven short distances with the big tires on without an issue. Came with the Lift system when I bought it several years ago, but appears to be done right with air suspension and on-board compressor (designed specifically to accomodate the huge tires - just press a button to raise and lower the body on the frame). The smaller tires essentially make it into a 'driver', much easier to get in-out, and wash etc. Includes a pair of Mint YOM - (Year of Make) Black CA License Plates with an awesome (custom) sticker display frame on the rear - see pics. The power assisted sterring radius is 'incredible' turning right (also good turning left, but not as exceptional) - I was told this could be 'matched' if desired, but I have left that alone because it drives and tracks so well, including on the highway. It has a nice stereo, and very nice interior overall including custom CHROME door panels, ashtray, and glove box. Solid truck overall and runs very well. Lot's of fun. CHP approved the VIN/title transfer (with street tires on) when I bought it several years ago.
1. It's not really critical or even visible, but it needs a "bed floor" - much of the old one is removed already. Maybe something more innovative than wood? (see pics)
2. It needs a "front-drive shaft" to complete the front drive-train (I bought it like this, but it is very drivable without the front wheel drive line). I intend to get this done this year if not sold.
3. The passenger side of the windshied has a few "wiper-marks". I have a complete set of windshield 'stainless' trim to apply upon a future windshield replacement - no rush.
4. It could eventually use a fresh "paint-job" to become the ultimate 'SHOW TRUCK'. There are some minor areas of corrosion to address - but not bad for its age (see images).
5. It has mostly original guages and interior controls (ie: gas guage, odomoter, speed, heater, etc.) - which could stand to be updated or improved. It does have new temp and volts guages.
REASON FOR SELLING:
I am selling it "as-is" and of course without any warranty, but for it's age it is really special and obviously a head turner. I am selling/trading it to get a stock Jeep Wrangler for my wife.
Please contact me if you want to come see it here in Santa Paula, CA or think you have a trade offer - Thanks, James 805-479-5000.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
