Here is a nice 1987 GMC Caballero.  The Caballero is the sister car to the Chevy El Camino.  Since Ebay doesn't list the Caballero in the models I used the El Camino listing to make sure she was listed with the other like cars.  Everywhere I drive this car people ask me about it.  I am the second owner of this car.  Previous owner passed and his son sold it to me in an estate type sale about 5 years ago.  It ran well when I got it but I made alot of improvements.  Originally it was black but need to be painted because it was a little faded and I wanted her to look sharp.  I have had the engine gone through by a professional mechanic - he rebuilt the carburator, installed new battery, replaced the oil pan, installed new brake lines.  I installed some nice 16 inch wheels and white letter tires, had it painted, also converted it to dual exhaust.  I also had the seats recovered and new carpet installed.  I also added a nice stereo system installed with large new speakers behind the seats (It Rocks!).  Stereo also has a USB port.  When I bought it I noticed a slight body roll when I purchased it so I took it to a race mechanic and installed a larger steering (Sway bar - I think is what it's called) system.  Now she sticks to the road like a Jungle Cat!  There is no Body roll on this car!  Exit and entry ramps are a blast!  (in more ways than one). It is a pretty fast car - but I have babied her since she is a little old.  Going down the highway she rides like my Cadillac!  Let go of the wheel and she stays straight.  Will she spin the tires?  YES!  but only one will spin!  Some people have suggested adding Positive traction but I've already got too much money in it.  Is the air cold?  It's cool but will leak down.  Originally I think it was Freon - but I have had some guys convert it to modern (whatever it is now).  Maybe theres a leak in the system somewhere - but it is cold for quite a while.  The suspension is nice - I guess it could use some modern front shocks but the rear is "air-ride".  Yes, you can add air to the rear shocks through a valve beside the gas cap.  The black rubber (window sills?) are dry rotted and rain will leak down into the doors.  when caught out in the rain.  I have kept her in the garage most of the time - I have noticed a few rust bubbles down low in the door panels.  My mechanic says it wouldn't be too much to take care of.  Well, I HATE to see her go but...it's tax time and I am moving out some of my toys.   This is a FUN car to drive - I have used her as a daily driver over the past 4-5 years and I know she will serve her next owner well.  Good luck!

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Recharge Wrap-Up: LAPD gets Zero MMX, Chevy's new inverter, Hyundai Tucson's new powertrains

Wed, Jul 16 2014

Some police in Los Angeles will be riding Zero MMX electric motorcycles on duty. The LAPD is adding the fully electric police/military all-terrain bikes to its patrol fleet. According to Officer Steve Carbajal of the department's off-road unit, "It costs less than 50 cents to charge compared to using gallons of gas, maintenance is simple, and the community appreciates how quiet they are." The electric bikes, with their lack of noise and a headlight the rider can turn off, also have the benefit of stealth, giving the officers what Carbajal calls "an added tactical advantage." The MMX also has swappable batteries, is designed for quick ignition and has power reserve capabilities so the rider won't be caught with a dead battery while chasing down a perp.

Drivers of classic cars in Detroit were able to fill up their tanks at gas prices corresponding to their model year, thanks to a promotion by Hagerty Insurance for National Collector Car Appreciation Day on July 11. That meant prices from 21 to 90 cents a gallon, as the cars that showed up ranged from the years 1929 to 1989. That's about as affordable as charging your EV. Head over to Autoweek for more details and some photos from the event. The next-generation Chevrolet Volt will likely benefit from a new inverter being developed by General Motors. GM is about two-thirds of the way through the development of the new inverter, which should be ready in January 2016. The inverter, which has a peak output of 55 kilowatts a continuous output of 33 kilowatts, will be adaptable for use in other GM vehicles. Chevrolet is working to reduce the Volt's production costs by $10,000 per vehicle, which should make it more affordable, and the new inverter could help reach that goal should it make its way into the car. Read more at Green Car Reports. Hyundai is likely planning some interesting powertrain changes for the 2016 Tucson, says Green Car Reports. Plug-in hybrid? Maybe. Diesel? Probably not. "We are covering the waterfront on all alternative fuel strategies, from standard hybrid, to plug-in, battery-electric, and fuel cell," says Hyundai's US Chief Dave Zuchowski.
