I bought this in 2005 as a restoration project and spared no expense: new interior, new switches, brand new ZZ4 crate engine from GM Performance , new door panels, new tires, exhaust, alignment, Walker Y-Pipe, new top, and the list goes on, tune up parts, etc, etc. I have since moved on to a new project and am sending this one down the road. Tranny was rebuilt to match engine with Beast Sunshell, .500 Boost valves, Borg Warner gears, and a 2500 stall. Blows cold air. I built this to keep but have lost interest. Fast and a great driver.

I purchased the newer C4 front bumper with the wrap around marker lights, but did not install it. That goes with it. Garage kept until other projects forced it to sit outside under cover. Some paint bubbles on hood and front bumper. But paint is solid overall.

 

Not interested in trades. As-is, where is. This is a quick turn around project but I am not putting anymore money into it. My loss your gain.

 

The bad:

Drivers side headlight won't go up and down.

Dash board gauges quit working (last straw for me).

Small leak around tranny pan.

Power antenna needs to be re-installed but I have it.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
