1984 Chevrolet C1500 !! Show Truck !! 40k In Restore !! 500 Hp !! No Reserve !! on 2040-cars
West Columbia, Texas, United States
This is a frame off 84 chevy 1/2 ton show truck. It was stripped down to bare frame and built up. There were no aftermarket panels used other than the hood. The previous owner bought donor trucks so he could use original rust free panels. The frame was stripped and zinc coated before it was painted to prevent rust. All the suspension,brakes and steering components were replaced. There was 13k tied up in the engine build alone. It is a 454 that was bored to a 468 with all forged internals,high lift cam,performance head work,aluminum intake,800 cfm edelbrock carb,long tube headers etc... The transmission is a built 700r4 (overdrive) with a 2800 rpm performance stall. The rear is a custom built 12 bolt. The paint (not including labor) was over 7k. There is not a single dent or scratch that I have seen anywhere on the truck. It has American racing torque thrust rims. 17" rims in front 18" in rear. The 295/45/18 and 275/55/17 inch tires are like new. The truck sounds awesome with the choppy idle and has electric cut outs installed on the headers that gives you the option of running open exhaust with the flip of a switch. The interior was redone with custom leather seats with a fold down center console. IT has a custom A/C compressor that is built to handle the rpms of the engine and blows ice cold. Truck runs and drives like new and is VERY FAST. Pictures don't do this truck justice. There were no shortcuts or money spared in this build. There is only 1700 miles on the truck since restored and has won multiple trophies at car shows. Here is your chance at a good deal in a NO RESERVE AUCTION. If you have any questions feel free to message me. If you would like to see the truck in person message me. We are located in West Columbia TX about a hour south of Houston. Bidders with less than 5 feedback should message me before bidding (so I know your serious) or I will remove the bid. Texas residence will have to pay tt&l. Thanks for looking and bid with confidence !! NO DISSAPOINTMENTS !! 500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE AT END OF AUCTION |

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
