1978 Chevrolet Pickup on 2040-cars
Valley Center, California, United States
This 1978 Chevrolet, 3/4 Ton, 4x4 Pickup Truck was bought new by my father (One Owner truck) in 1978 and it's actual mileage is 10,527 miles!!! Yes, that is Ten Thousand Five Hundred Twenty Seven Miles. It has a 400 motor, automatic transmission, limited slip rear end, Trailering Special, Silverado Package, A/C, PS, PB, cruise control, and dual fuel tanks. The truck had an overhead camper on it all these years and has been parked in OUTSIDE storage from about 1985 to present in Southern California (no typical salt - rust associated problems). This truck was driven into storage and parked 30 years ago and has not run for over 30 years nor has it been cleaned or detailed. The hood is rusted and will need replaced from the water coming off the camper. Glass and interior are in good shape for the way it was stored. (When I got this truck out of storage, I cut all the belts off the motor and pulled the spark plugs. I oiled the cylinders and changed the oil and oil filter. I turned the motor until it had good oil pressure. I installed new spark plugs and put some fuel down the carburetor. The truck started right up and sounded very tight however it only ran for several seconds so I could say that the engine actually ran. Call me for details.) I have title for the truck and all paperwork and manual. This is a great opportunity to pick up a nice, low mileage classic, one owner 4WD truck ready for your rebuild. ***This truck is a project truck and every system needs to be gone through, i.e. fuel, brakes, coolant, air conditioning and checked out but as you can see, loooooooow mileage. It has NOT been driven in over 30 years so don't expect to pick it up and drive it away if you purchase it. It will not start and drive onto a trailer, no battery, no belts, no radiator hoses, the brake system leaked out, the fuel system is dry….. this will need to be trailered out*** Known missing items…. Grill, Original Radio, belts and hoses, one of the two gas caps. I have storage reports from then to present showing truck has been in storage. Call 760) 580-2365. $4500.00 OBO

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1
Wed, Aug 20 2014Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.

12 new cars that will never go out of style
Tue, Nov 23 2021Some cars never go out of style. It’s rare, but it happens. They get old. They get depreciated. But they never stop looking cool. Some might call them modern or instant classics. Within a few years theyÂ’re no longer the latest and greatest, no longer the flavor of the month, but they remain special. Eternally special. Timeless. These cars arenÂ’t necessarily going to be worth a fortune someday. However, some may not depreciate as rapidly or as far as other models. But thatÂ’s not what weÂ’re talking about here. These are the cars that enthusiasts will always find desirable from the curbside. TheyÂ’re the cars you end up shopping on eBay late at night 10 years later because you canÂ’t get them out of your head. TheyÂ’re the cars that will forever excite you when you spot a clean one in traffic or in a parking lot. There are plenty of recent examples over the past couple of decades that could count as instant design classics. But then we got to thinking, what 2021 models will be forever cool to stare at? Which new cars and trucks on sale today will we be shopping on eBay late at night in the 2030s? We kept supercars and other ultra-expensive cars off the list to keep things within the realm of attainability, and ended up with 12 total cars. Lexus LC WeÂ’re not applying a numerical ranking to any of the cars on this list, but if we were, the Lexus LC would be No. 1. There isnÂ’t another car design out there that can stir our emotions the way an LC can when itÂ’s just standing still. This car is a concept design come true in the most beautiful of ways, and itÂ’s a shoo-in winner for Concours events decades into the future. All of this heaping praise, and we havenÂ’t even gotten to the LC 500Â’s intoxicating 5.0-liter V8. It doesnÂ’t win drag races. It wonÂ’t be the fastest around the track against any similarly-priced competition. But none of that matters. ItÂ’s quite possibly the best car you can buy new, and that says it all when it comes to the LC. Chevrolet Corvette It might not be the stunner that the Lexus LC is, but the new C8 Corvette is and will always be a special vehicle. ItÂ’s the first mid-engine Corvette, which instantly cements it into an automotive hall of fame section of sorts. All of the performance stats and specs are there to back up its supercar-like looks, and it remains the best performance bargain on sale today.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
