Patterson, California, United States

For sale is a 1973 GMC Jimmy Sierra full convertible 4x4.  I purchased this vehicle 3 years ago from the owner who did the frame-off restoration 3 years prior.  The restoration has approximately 7,000 miles on it between the original owner and the miles that I have driven it.  This vehicle was restored to look original without the sluggish and restricted smog compliant motors of those years.  This vehicle is now smog exempt.  Since I did not rebuild it myself I do not know the specifics of what went into the motor.  I do know that it was completely rebuilt from the top to the bottom and equipped with upgraded intake, carb, ignition, headers, cam, exhaust, and etc.  Some of this can be seen in the pictures as well as the overall condition and cleanliness under the hood.  The builder said he had the engine built up to 400 horsepower.  I can not verify that but this engine does have some serious "get up and go" and runs strong and smooth as it should.  It is paired to the rebuilt TH-350 automatic transmission with shift kit.  It always runs cool with all new hoses and cooling system.  The interior is near perfect.  A new Alpine receiver was installed to use with smartphone, iPod, or mp3's and its connected to new JL Audio speakers that sound great.  The vehicle has an alarm system and keyless entry.  Although it has factory AC it does not blow cold.  All controls and heater work great but the AC needs to be charged.  The AC has not worked since I have owned the vehicle but I never charged it or investigated if the system had a leak since I have always used it with the top off anyway.  The needle on the gear indicator also does not work.  It indicates "P" all the time.  Other than the two issues mentioned, everything else is in excellent condition and functions as it should.  This vehicle is a 4x4 but it has never seen dirt.  It has always been garaged and only used to cruise the streets on weekends with good weather.  This vehicle runs and drives as new.  It holds the road extremely well and brakes true.  It has plenty of power and is perfectly reliable and comfortable to drive on any trip.  When I bough it, it had aftermarket wheels so I bought some factory rally's and hubs and had them painted and polished to original spec.  I put new Michelin tires on them and have not driven it 500 miles since.  The builder also installed an extra seat in the back you can view in the pictures.  I have described the vehicle the best I can and I hope the pictures describe it well too, but for any questions serious buyers may have they can call me at 209-605-5946 and I will try to answer.  All in all this is a turn key truck that's ready for a new owner to drive and enjoy.  

Thanks

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
