Drivetrain Is Sweet, If You Can Do A Little Body And Interior This Is A Dream on 2040-cars

So there's more in the motor and tranny than the asking price...Motor is a rebuilt all work done in the last 3 years including Crower cam and roller rockers 350, being fed by an Edlebrock polished alum carb, and performer intake. It's cooled by a brand new radiator with stock but new clutch fan, and an electric fan in the front. The transmission was rebuilt to handle the extra horsepower, and shift respectibaley when required....it's fast! Has a B&M Slap shifter, but can easily be converted back to column...The seats are gray leather electric, with center console, of course not stock. The stereo will easily drive you out of the car unless you are already deaf...Rims and tires are American Racing 17" with performance tires easily over $2k invested and over 90% tread left. The exhaust is sweet, handles great with the big tires, get's lot's of looks. Very reliable daily driver, has been to Vegas a few times, just did a 100+ mile trip with no issue's. Bumpers are straight, body is sweet other than a few spots where the paint popped from the primer, and the drivers side headlight surround is buggered up. Could use a carpet kit, but the headliner is cherry. The bed is rust free, but there is a little on the driver's side floorboard easily fixed with a patch panel, not the whole thing. Great driver project, as you can see looks great from a distance. I just went over the whole car with 320 wetsand, and these are the pic's, so what you see is what you get. I just bought a "New" Reproduction fender extension to repair the only dent on the car, I already have the bezels, and the missing piece of chrome trim around the grill. I also have the missing passenger side mirror, and SS badging for the fenders. I am still looking for a wing window crank on the driver side, I have the old one but it's busted in the middle...JB weld? Probably have the hood fixed before it's sold as I'm taking it to the El Cajon car show on thursday...gotta have fun!

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
