 1987 Chevrolet silverado k30

Up for auction is my fully restored 1987 big block Chevrolet truck. This truck is my pride and joy and I swore I would never sell it but I have reached a point where I no longer ever drive it or get out and enjoy it. Since I purchased the truck I have only put about 400 miles on the truck so that gives you a little idea of how little this truck gets driven. The main reason I have decided to sell it though is I am looking to purchase a new bass boat for the upcoming 2015 tournament season and I could use the money from the sale of my truck for a down payment on the new boat so here it is. This truck is a absolute beast and looks great doing it at the same time. Not 1 penny was spared on the build. I purchased the truck 3 years ago from the original owner of the truck. He bought the truck new in 1987 and after letting it sit for 12 years do to a bad trans, he decided to restore it about 5 years ago. He did a full cab off build and the results speak for themselves.  There was 11k spent on the body work and paint job alone. The only thing that was not replaced was all the original interior was reinstalled. The interior is still in good shape but I have all new interior for The truck that just needs to be installed. All of the new interior is black in color except for the seats and center console which are a tan leather. Please see the attached pictures but you will see I have a full room of brand new in the box interior for the truck, about $4200.00 worth of new interior to be exact. I have new dash, carpet, bucket seats and center console, rubber headliner with built in speakers, door panels, a/c control panel, blower motor, and I even have a brand new in the box 1 piece window kit with new regulators. This kit alone was $850.00 and it's all new in the box. Trucks also comes with a brand new complete set of auto meter gauges that were installed when I bought the truck and custom dash bezel. Drive train wise  this truck is built right and bullet proof. Truck has a professionally built 468 big block from W.C performance here in Sarasota, fl in it, motor was dyno' d on a stand before being installed in the truck at the time of the build. The motor made 661 hp on cam 2 on the stand. The truck runs good on 93 but is a different beast on cam 2 which is all I run in it. Dana 60 front and corporate 14 bolt in the rear, 4.88 gears front and rear with a spool in the rear and eaton locker in the front. Trans wise the truck has a turbo 400 with 2200 stall and Kevlar clutches. 205 t case and custom traction bars. The truck has disc brakes all the way around.  I'm sure there is a lot of things I missed and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. You can message me or call me on my cell at 941 809 5105. If I mis your call just leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I would be willing to trade for a 2006 or newer bass boat ( ranger, skeeter, nitro or stratos. I am not interested in any other makes so please don't ask) with at least a 200 on it, if the boat is in great shape I will be willing to work with you, other than this I will not except any other trades so please do not waste my time or yours. Please make sure all funds are available before bidding. I payed 15k for the truck 3 years ago. I have since put the brand new 40 inch boggers and 16.5 x 14 wheels on the truck at the tune of  $4000.00 dollars, the auto Meter gauges at $1100.00 and I also have another $4200.00 dollars worth of interior that will come with the truck. Now obviously I do not expect to get all my money out of the truck but please don't insult me with low ball offers. I am starting the bidding at $12,500 with no reserve but I will not except a penny less. The good thing is I don't need the money so if it doesn't sell it doesn't matter. Also keep in mind I have the truck for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time if truck sells locally. Please see attached photos for the few flaws the truck has. There is a baseball sized spider web in the paint and clear on the drivers door where a dent was removed several years ago by a paint less dent guy and the paint and clear seperated unfortunatly. There is also a spot on the passenger door where the clear coat is burned from trying to buff off 2 sided tape from a old rain guard. Other than these 2 minor spots this truck is cosmetically flawless and 100% rust free. Both cab corners, floor board in the cab, both doors and hood were replaced with new panels from lmc before truck was painted so truck would be 100% rust free.  Thank you for looking and good luck bidding.

*please keep in mind there will be a $2000.00 non refundable deposit due via pay pal within 48 hours of auction close. If full payment is not received via cash in person or wire transfer from bank within 7 days of auction end the $2000.00 deposit will be forfeited and truck will be relisted. Please make sure you have the full amount available before bidding to avoid this happening. Thank you in advance for your understanding on this.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News.

GM profit dips on truck changeover, but beats estimates

Thu, Apr 26 2018

DETROIT — General Motors on Thursday reported a higher-than-expected quarterly profit despite a drop in production of high-margin pickup trucks, as it gears up for new models that are expected to boost profits next year. Like rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, GM is banking on highly-profitable Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks to lift profits, as consumers shift away from traditional passenger cars in favor of these larger, more comfortable trucks, SUVs and crossovers. During the first quarter, the process of changing over to GM's new pickups resulted in a drop in production of 47,000 units. GM Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens said the production drop had resulted in a drop in pre-tax profit of up to $800 million. Earlier this year, GM said its 2018 profits would be flat compared with 2017, but expected its all-new pickup trucks would boost margins starting in 2019. On Thursday, GM reiterated its full-year 2018 forecast for adjusted earnings in a range from $6.30 to $6.60 per share. The automaker said capital expenditures were more than $500 million higher in the quarter because of investments its new pickup trucks and a family of low-cost vehicles under development with Chinese partner SAIC Motor Corp. On Wednesday, rival Ford said it would stop investing in most traditional passenger sedans in North America. CFO Stevens told reporters on Thursday that GM has "already indicated that we will make significantly lower investments on a go-forward basis" in sedans. 2019 GMC Sierra View 21 Photos GM benefited from a lower effective tax rate in the quarter, but adjusted pre-tax margin fell to 7.2 percent from 9.5 percent a year earlier. Stevens said the company's profit margin should hit 10 percent or higher in the second quarter and for the full year. GM said material costs were $700 million higher in the first quarter, and it expects those costs to continue rising. The automaker said it would counter those increases with cost cutting measures. "It is a more difficult environment than it was three or four months ago," Stevens said when asked about rising commodity prices from potential steel and aluminum tariffs announced by the Trump administration. "But we are confident we can continue to offset that." The company reported quarterly net income of $1.05 billion or $1.43 per share, a drop of nearly 60 percent from $2.61 billion or $1.75 per share a year earlier. Analysts had on average expected earnings per share of $1.24.

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment

Fri, Jun 17 2016

Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.
