This is one of the last legends Detroit made. 1988 solid steel with a customized 6" lift kit. This is a great hunting truck or perfect for off-roading. It runs like a charme and sounds strong.

I had the transmission rebuilt in January 2013, rebuilt the engine in June 2013 and put 4 brand new BF Goodrich AF All terraiin 33X12.5 R16.5LT in December 2012. It also has a new heater core. The tires have 1,200 miles on them, The transmisison about 1,000 miles and the engine 850 miles on it. Those expenses total up to $5,000 alone.

Here is what I know is wrong with the truck:

Clearcoat is peeling off in some panels

Dents driver door, rear quarter panel

Fuel gauge is not working. this is due to the engine rebult. Apparently the mechanic forgot to hook up some line/cable.

Gearshift indicator is broken.

Small tear in driver seat cloth

Cracked windshield

It has additional headlights, a gauge for a second fuel tank

The engine, transmission (including 4x4) work great. New battery and it cranks right up. New waterpump, alternator and belts. It does need a bit of love, but most of that is simply cosmetic. I actually like the manly look.. (The truck actually came like that when I bought it in 2004). so I never bothered with the cosmetic aspect of it. It is an Arizona/Texas truck so no rust, salt damage. It has lots of torque and a tow bar installed. The lift kit is 6" and it has Dee-Zee stepbars. The radio is less than a year old and has AV input and CD player. It also has the desirable 3rd row seats

If you are looking for solid truck that won't break for towing your boat, ATV, etc, go hunting in it or just to use to get some mud on the tires, this is your truck. There are not many of these beasts available for sale.

I am the second owner as far as I know and I had for 10 years as our third vehicle to make runs to Home Depot in it, the occasional hunting trip, but never put more than 4,000 miles on it in a year. The original mileage to the best of my knowledge is 165,000, but the rebuild engine has less than 1,000 miles on it.

I used it for a while in my business to make deliveries, but then we outgrew it and bought an International Truck. I kept it for a while in our warehouse, but now the wife is making me sell it.

I love that truck, but love the wife more.

I'd be happy to answer any questions or send pics of something specific if you like to see that.

It is a beautiful truck that has lots of power, hate to see it go.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

Chevy up to old EVs-equal-range-anxiety tricks in new Volt Olympics ad

Fri, Feb 14 2014

General Motors is at it again with a new Chevrolet Volt TV commercial. Viewers of the Winter Olymics (at least in some markets) recently saw a TV ad in between the skating and the skiing that made no mention of the environmental benefits or freedom from the power of Big Oil that electric vehicles provide. No, this one was based on pure survival instinct. In the video, a father is driving down a highway, perhaps through the Mojave Desert. His young son is sitting in the Volt's backseat and asks what happens when the EV's battery runs out. "We'll have to cross that burning desert with snakes and cactus until we make it back to civilization," the dad tells his son as they pass the skeleton of a fallen bull. The fine print makes it clear that the actual maximum range is 342 miles. But there is hope. The father tells his son, with a beaming smile on his face, that the gas generator has kicked in and they're going to make it through the desert. As they wend their way to the horizon, a voice over says that Volt drivers who charge up regularly are making it 900 miles between fill ups. The fine print makes it clear that the actual official maximum range before you need to either plug in or fill up is 342 miles. This theme that emphasized range anxiety has been utilized by GM since the extended range Volt was launched in late 2010, despite the fact that Chevrolet now offers an all-electric vehicle in the Spark EV. Volt fans are praising the commercial, called The New Freedom, on the GM-Volt forum and you can see for yourself below. This content is hosted by a third party.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
