Introducing Schizophrenia, an extreme attention getter that has generated excitement at shows all over the East Coast! At first sight, the multi-color paint job and theme are enough to command interest. Within seconds, an incredible seven-stage dancing bed extends 12 feet while spinning before your very eyes! Nearly hypnotized by its dramatic oscillation, you watch as the bed cover splits into 4 sections to reveal a flamethrower that projects 15 foot columns of fire! Add to this scene: balloons, theatrical sparks, a concussion grenade plus colored smoke bombs and you start to picture what an amazing show this real life transformer can give an audience. Over the past 18 years, creative evolution has turned this Chevy S-10 into a mechanical monster on wheels!
My creation is not limited to a particular genre and has been featured in the following environments: car show, parade, monster truck event, air show and art exhibit. Additionally, it has great niche marketing potential. Using my specially designed brackets, banner advertisements can be placed on top of the bed itself and used to draw customers for a featured business. People remember things that are different especially when combined with action! This fact would serve a sponsoring company through product awareness while creating revenue for its owner.

Here are a few specs:
Creator: Jamie Kelley
Theme: Schizophrenia!
Vehicle: 89 Chevorlet S-10
City/State: Asheville, North Carolina
Engine: Chromed out 350 small block
Transmission: Automatic with chrome knuckle shifter
Interior: Materials (tweed, crushed velvet and aluminum diamond plate) / Colors (red,blue,black and silver). A ragtop covers the cab and extends down its back.
Doors: Custom built side mount gullwings, shaved handles with door poppers.
Hydraulic Setup: Completely independent suspension and seven stage spinning /splitting bed! The spin itself has a pneumatically controlled stop. Main parts list: ten modified Hi-LOW pumps, 2 Superwinch motors, Delta dumps, 13 cylinders (various sizes), eight Super-Crank group 31 batteries. 22 solenoids, 23 switches & a ground disconnect. 
Tires: 225/50 R-15 BF Goodrich whitewalls
Rims: 15X8 Roadster wires with gold fluted pans and gold claw spinners (drivers side), 15X8 Alba Inertias (passenger side)
Paint: Base color (Alsa chrome), entire truck was given a marble effect (Royal Blue for the driver's side & Candy Apple Red for the passenger's side)
Graphics: Red and blue glitter flake, ?2 Face on hood & a graphic crack down the center of its theme. Various designs down the sides. A spiral on the bed split.
Stereo: Eclipse cd player, Rockford Fosgate mids and tweets, an epicenter, Sound Dynamic 15's & a Hi-Fonics Genesis amp
Pyrotechnics: A custom built remote control flamethrower (capable of shooting a column of fire 12-15 ft), theatrical gerbs (shoots a jet of sparks 20 ft. X 20 sec. from each corner of the bed), a concussion bomb (extremely loud effect simulates explosion) & smoke bombs (to build crowd anticipation)

In 2007, my creation was appraised by AAG for $90,000 (will send upon request). As of September 2013, the project is for sale at much less than the cost to build it. I would consider some trading, however the trade items must be something that I actually need. Because I built this creation, I understand and would expect to share all relating info to train the buyer. The only reason I am willing to part with it is a need to fund other business related projects.
The truck is in good condition and was designed with maximum structural integrity. Reinforcements are a premium and everything is backed up by failsafe engineering (these include both mechanical and electrical devices). A custom made heavy duty trailer is part of an "acceptable" cash deal. The trailer is open with hydraulic surge brakes, folding ramps, extra tire and hold down points specific to the truck. Plus, multiple extra parts (battery chargers, extra pistons, extra pump head, switches, pyro equipment, etc) will be added. The buyer would be responsible for shipping to their location. Video action + recordings of various components can be found on my youtube page: WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/TRANSFORMERPROMO

Chevy Silverado Midnight Edition coming to Chicago

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Between the GMC Canyon Nightfall Edition and Chevy Silverado Custom Sport, the truck divisions of General Motors had no lack of blacked-out custom pickups to showcase at the Detroit Auto Show this year. But now the General has announced one more. Called the Midnight Edition, for this special Silverado blacks out all the trim, including the grille, bumpers, headlamp bezels, tow hooks, fog lamps, side and beltline moldings, 19-inch wheels, bedliner and bowtie emblems. It's based on the Silverado 1500 with the Z71 package, so it also boasts an off-road suspension, locking rear differential, hill-descent control and trailering pack. While it was at it, Chevy has also thrown in rear park assist and power heated door mirrors. Buyers will be able to choose between double- or crew-cab models, but no more than 5,000 examples will be produced this year, each priced at a premium pegged between $1,595 and $1,995 (depending on the model). The Silverado Midnight edition debuts today at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention in San Francisco and will be showcased at the Chicago Auto Show next month, around the time that deliveries will commence. 2015 Silverado Midnight Edition is The New Black Monochrome appearance package to debut at NADA and Chicago Auto Show 2015-01-22 DETROIT – Truck fans know that nothing adds presence to a pickup like basic black. And Chevrolet is taking black to the next level with the Silverado Midnight special edition, on display starting today at the National Automobile Dealers Association Convention & Expo in San Francisco, and making its public debut February 14 at the Chicago Auto Show. Beginning with a black Silverado Z71, the Midnight special edition adds: - An all-black front end with body-colored grille, bumper, headlamp bezels, tow hooks and fog lamps; - Black side moldings and beltline moldings; - 18-inch black painted alloy wheels with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac all-terrain tires; - Special Z71 badges on the doors; - A spray-in bedliner (black, of course); - And the finishing touches – black Chevrolet bowties front and rear. Like all 2015 Silverado 1500 Z71s, Midnight special editions include off-road suspension, a locking rear differential, Hill Descent Control and a trailering package. Midnight special editions also include rear park assist and heated, power-adjusted outside rear-view mirrors.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
