Chevrolet's Rarest 1972 Pickup - Chevrolet Lwb Half-ton Stepside - 95% Original on 2040-cars
Centerville, Utah, United States
|
One of Chevrolet's rarest trucks! A factory-built, all original, Half-ton, LWB, Stepside. Chevrolet reports manufacturing only 407 of these in 1972. The original owner (I am the second) ordered it directly form Chevrolet. It was a daily driver from June, 1972 until early 1983 when it was parked in a garage and has pretty much sat ever since. Although the original 350 V8 motor ran great, the owner wanted to put in a new crate engine before the odometer turned 100,000. The new engine was installed and has less than 100 miles. I have the matching number original engine to go with the truck (see pictures). The transmission, transfer case, drive lines, etc. are all original. It has been sitting in a garage for about 25 years. Just about everything is original and in unbelievable condition. No rust but lots of dust. Original paint still looks beautiful. After pulling it out of the garage and to make it drivable, I put in a new battery, new exhaust (the original pipes were garbage), air filter, distributor (still have original), interior carpet, dash pad, rebuilt a rusted out radiator, power steering box, and changed a few light bulbs. Other than that, the truck is still the exact same truck it was in 1972. For those that like the classic 1967-1972 Chevy truck, this is a rare find.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
