I am selling my 70 Chevy truck. I have owned this truck since 1996. It was painted shortly before I bought it but was also keyed down one side . The left rear bed corner has contact damage. The clear coat is flaking off. The cab floor needs repaired. The engine was rebuilt in 1998 and has had around 15000 miles put on it since. The engine is a small block 350 with Hooker headers, Pete Jackson gear drive in place of the timing chain, Flowmaster dual exhaust system with 2.5" pipe, Holley 600 cfm four barrel carb., chrome kit, Mallory ignition system, Weiand single plain aluminum intake manifold, high compresson pistons, and a long duration cam. It has working power steering . All the exterior lights work and most of the dash lights work. There is an aftermarket guage trio installed on the bottom of dash being used for oil pressure and engine temp. which is backlighted. The original volt guage works in cluster. There is an aftermarket tach. attached to the steering column which works normally and was new with engine rebuild. The heater core has been replaced. The heat works but the controls do not work. Have to jumper the switch connector at the moment to operate the blower fan. The engine has a high volume oil pump from rebuild. The original three speed manual trans has been removed and replaced by a TH 350 automatic three speed trans. The carrier bearing and u joints were replaced since I have owned it. It has replacement rear trailing arms in great condition which were painted when installed. Also had new rear springs and shocks installed with arms. The old truck is rides well down the road. The brakes and wheel cyl.s were all replaced around 10 yr.s ago. Most of the brake lines have been replaced at some time. Outside of some old tires you can drive this truck home. I have loved this truck and hate to sell it but I don't have the time or money to complete the project. Questions from serious buyers only please. I will answer questions as soon as I can.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
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.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
