FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS 1969 CHEVY PICKUP SEMI-PRO STREET PROJECT THAT INCLUDES JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING TO COMPLETE WHAT WAS TO BE ONE REALLY NICE STREET-ABLE AND VERY FAST CLASSIC PICKUP.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST TIME & WAY FOR ME TO SELL THIS TRUCK BUT HEALTH REASONS LEAVE NO CHOICE.

BEFORE I GO INTO WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT HAS HAPPENED UP TO DATE.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK ON EBAY IN 2001 IN COMPLETE RUNNING CONDITION WITH A 350 CU.IN. SUMMIT RACING LONG BLOCK AND A TH400 AUTOMATIC TRANS. IT HAS 4:56 GEARS AND WHILE IT RAN NICE I WANTED IT CLOSER TO AN 11 SECOND 1/4 MILE EVERYDAY DRIVER PICKUP. AT THE TIME I HAD A FULLY OUTFITTED PRIVATE SPEED SHOP AND WAS RESTORING SEVERAL MUSCLE CARS AND TWO 23' ELIMINATOR DAYTONA'S SO THROWING IN ONE MORE PROJECT WAS NO BIG DEAL.

THE EXISTING ENGINE IN THE TRUCK SOUNDED MEAN BUT DIDN'T BACK IT UP ON THE ROAD SO I PULLED THE ENGINE AND TRANS AND REMOVED MOST OF THE INTERIOR WITH THE INTENT OF REPLACING IT ALL WITH NEW CLASSIC INDUSTRIES PARTS.

THE NEW ENGINE CAME IN. A NEW 700R4 RAPTOR TRANS WITH A 4200 STALL CONVERTER CAME IN. THIS PACKAGE WAS INSTALLED AND I PUT THE BREAK-IN TIME ON THE ENGINE BEFORE WE TRYED A FEW HOLE SHOTS IN FRONT OF THE SHOP. THE TRUCK LAUNCHES STRAIGHT ARROW AND TRACTION WAS EXCELLENT. IT PULLED THE FRONT TIRES 3-4" OFF THE GROUND FOR 40' WHILE STILL PROVIDING A NICE SMOKE SHOW 3 TIMES OUT OF 3 TRY'S.

THATS AS FAR AS I GOT WHEN MY WIFE BECAME SERIOUSLY ILL.  AFTER ONE YEAR SHE NEEDED FULL-TIME CARE SO WITH THE SHOP BEING LOCKED UP FOR A YEAR MOST ALL THE PROJECT VEHICLES & BOATS WERE SOLD OFF TO PAY MEDICAL BILLS BUT I KEPT THIS PICKUP. I HAD TO TAKE AN EARLY RETIREMENT AND WE MOVED FROM CA TO AR IN 2003 TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE ON MUCH LESS MONEY. FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS IT LIVED UNDER A TARP UNTIL I BUILT A BARN/SHOP TO STORE IT. SEVERAL YEARS LATER MY WIFE DIED AND I HAD A WORN OUT HIP AND ONE BAD KNEE SO THOSE SURGERIES KEPT ME INDOORS FOR ANOTHER YEAR. I LOST INTEREST IN FINISHING THIS TRUCK AS MY AGE KREPT UP AND NOW BAD HEALTH KEEPS ME FROM GETTING IT RUNNING AGAIN AND FINISHING WHAT I STARTED. WHILE SITTING FOR SO MANY YEARS AND NOT RUNNING, THE ENGINE HAS LOCKED UP AND THE BRAKES LOST ALL FLUID. PROBABLY CRACKED RUBBER BRAKES HOSES THAT LEAKED. WHY THE ENGINE IS LOCKED I HAVE NO IDEA. IT WAS PARKED RUNNING JUST FINE SO IT MUST BE MOISTURE IN THE CYLINDERS BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THERE IS DEFINITELY NOTHING BROKEN IN THIS ENGINE.

SO HERE IS WHAT COMES WITH THIS PICKUP:

THE TRUCK ITSELF LOOKS GOOD WITH VERY LITTLE BODYWORK NEEDED TO HAVE IT READY FOR ANOTHER COLOR COAT. EXISTING PAINT HAS NEVER BUBBLED AND IS STILL A GOOD BASE IF YOU KEEP THE SAME COLOR. THE FLOOR PANS ARE SOLID AND THE FRAME LOOKS GOOD. I HAVE NOT PRESSURE WASHED IT OR EVEN CLEANED IT AT ALL SINCE MOVING IT HERE SO YOU'LL SEE A FEW REMNANTS OF WEEDS ON THE UNDERSIDE. IT HAS A DROPPED FRONT END WHICH OFFERS 4" OF GROUND CLEARANCE LETTING THE TRUCK SIT LOW AS THE BACK END IS ONLY A COUPLE INCHES HIGHER. DISK BRAKES IN FRONT, DRUMS IN THE REAR. POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AIR CONDITIONING (IS NOT CHARGED),  POWER WINDOW KIT IS HALF INSTALLED BUT EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED TO FINISH IT, NEW ONE-PIECE DOOR GLASS WINDOWS SINCE THE WING WINDOWS WERE DELETED. ENOUGH DYNAMAT TO SOUNDPROOF THE INTERIOR FLOOR AND PART WAY UP THE BODY, STEREO CD/ RADIO PLUS A BASE BOX AND DOOR SPEAKERS, NEW HEADLINER AND DOOR PANELS, NEW GUAGES WITH PODS ON NEW DASH PAD WITH EXTRA GAUGES AND ORIGINAL INSTRUMENT PANEL. NEW BLACK FABRIC BUCKET SEATS WITH A SEPARATE FOLD-DOWN CENTER CONSOLE/ARMREST THAT WHEN FOLDED UP ALLOWS A THIRD PASSENGER. NEW BLACK CARPET.

THE REAR FENDER WELLS HAVE BEEN ADDED ON WITH A MINI TUB KIT NOW ALLOWING A LARGER OFFSET RIM FOR WIDE SLICKS. DIFFERENTIAL IS POSI AND HAS 4:56 GEARS. ALUMINUM FUEL CELL ( I BELIEVE 15 GAL) AND THE SENDING UNIT IS INCLUDED.  HIGH FLOW ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND SEPARATE CANISTER FUEL FILTER WITH ALL BRAIDED HOSES AND EARLS FITTINGS. 2 IN-LINE TRANSMISSIONS COOLER FINNED PIPING UNITS RUNNING DOWN RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRAME WITH BRAIDED LINES AND EARLS FITTINGS.

THE TRANSMISSION IS A CUSTOM ORDERED 700 RAPTOR STAGE 3 WITH A 4200 - 4500 STALL CONVERTER, 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC CONTROLLED BY A HURST RATCHET SHIFTER.

THE ENGINE IS A BORED AND STROKED 350 BUILT TO 383 CU.IN, 500 PLUS HP AND I DO NOT REMEMBER THE TORQUE #'S. I ORDERED IT WITH FULLY FORGED INTERNALS, 11.5 COMPRESSION, ALUMINUM DART LARGE VALVE HEADS, ROLLER ROCKERS, MSD IGNITION AND DISTRIBUTOR, HOLLEY CARB, CERAMIC COATED HEADERS, REQUIRES 102 TO 104 OCTANE. OCTANE BOOSTER SUCH AS TORCO ADDED TO PREMIUM UNLEADED WORKED FINE OR RACING FUEL BUT THAT'S AN EXPENSIVE WAY TO GO.

ALL IN ALL I HAVE EVERYTHING THAT CAME OFF THE TRUCK OTHER THAN THE OLD ENGINE AND TRANS WHICH IS INCLUDED ALONG WITH ALL THE NEW PARTS ALL BOUGHT IN 2001. THE BENCH SEAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES IS UNBOLTED AND LOOSE JUST FOR USING IT WHILE MOVING THE TRUCK. IT GOES WITH THE TRUCK AS WELL IF YOU WANT IT OTHERWISE I CAN DISPOSE OF IT IF YOU LEAVE IT BEHIND.

THE ENGINE RAN ME $6,500.00, THE TRANS WAS $1,800.00, INTERIOR PARTS INCLUDING GAUGES WERE $1,600.00 AND ANOTHER $2,000.00 IN BRAIDED LINES, ALUMINUM RADIATOR, COOLING FAN, WIRING HARNESSES, FUEL PUMP AND FILTER. $560.00 FOR NEW FRONT TIRES AND NEW M/T STREET SLICKS & ANOTHER $400.00 FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH MUFFLERS. BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE DRIED OUT I JUST INSTALLED NEW FRONTS AND M/T REARS LAST SUMMER.

THE TRUCK ITSELF COST ME $6,500.00 IN OK CONDITION BUT IN NEED OF RESTORATION TO REALLY ENJOY IT. THAT WAS A VERY GOOD BUY CONSIDERING IT IS REALLY HARD TO FIND AN ORIGINAL SHORT BED FLEET SIDE FROM THE 60'S.

THE RESERVE IS SET AT LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT I HAVE SPENT FOR EVERYTHING.

THERE WOULD BE NO DISAPPOINTMENTS BUYING THIS PROJECT IF YOU HAVE SOME SPARE TIME AND WANT A HEAD TURNING CLASSIC PICKUP THAT CAN RUN AS MEAN AS IT SOUNDS.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS TRUCK IS NOT RUNNING AND NEEDS TO BE WINCHED ON A TRAILER.

IT IS OFFERED FOR SALE AS-IS AND WHERE-IS WITH NO WARRANTY.

THANKS FOR LOOKING !!

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.

GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model

Tue, Sep 16 2014

Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM offering factory-backed extended warranty for Chevys, GMCs, Buicks and Cadillacs

Mon, Oct 15 2018

Cars are generally more reliable than ever before. When things do go wrong, every automaker offers some form of factory warranty (in most cases at least three years and 36,000 miles, though many extend even longer), providing peace of mind to new-car buyers that many faults will be fixed at no charge to the customer. Starting today, GM is offering a new optional plan that will extend the factory warranty on all new Chevy, GMC, Buick and Cadillac products. In the past, extended warranties have been offered as dealer add-ons, with all profits from these sales going to the dealership. GM's new program can be viewed as another nail in the the looming dealership-model coffin. According to Automotive News, some dealers aren't happy to see GM cut into their business like this, saying that it helps GM far more than it does dealers. GM says the new program will help keep customers in the GM family. Customers are also more likely to visit a GM service center rather than going to an independent repair shop. Currently, new Chevy and GMC vehicles come with three-year/36,000-mile warranties. Buicks and Cadillacs are covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The new program extends Chevy and GMC warranties to five years or 60,000 miles. Buick and Cadillac warranties extend to six years or 70,000 miles. GM, citing IHS Markit, says most owners keep new cars for about 6.8 years, so these warranties will cover most of the length of their ownership. The extended warranty will add between $1,000 and $2,000 to the price of a vehicle, and the additional cost can be rolled into the vehicle's purchase or lease price. Unlike many dealer extensions, the factory program covers the vehicle no matter who owns it. That should help increase the car's resale value if it's sold within the covered timeframe. GM says there's no deductible and no need to file a claim form when getting warranty repairs. Additionally, dealerships can continue to sell their own extended warranties or service contracts.
