Crate 350 w/Automatic Trans - just a few years old with very low miles (estimating 5500) - engine runs/drives GREAT! Starts immediately.  Tracks and drives very well on the highway. Real head-turner and lots of 'thumbs-up'! New tail pipes and lots of chrome everywhere!  Currently running on the 'Street-legal' Firestone stock-look tires with 16" 8 lug Wheels and Stainless Rings.  SALE INCLUDES A COMPLETE SET OF  $5000.00 worth of 49"  IROK's ON CHROME RIMS - (see pics)  Technically, these tires make the truck frame too 'high' to actually be 'street legal'.  With that said, I have driven short distances with the big tires on without an issue.  Came with the Lift system when I bought it several years ago, but appears to be done right with air suspension and on-board compressor (designed specifically to accomodate the huge tires - just press a button to raise and lower the body on the frame).  The smaller tires essentially make it into a 'driver', much easier to get in-out, and wash etc.

Includes a pair of Mint YOM - (Year of Make) Black CA License Plates with an awesome (custom) sticker display frame on the rear - see pics.  The power assisted sterring radius is 'incredible' turning right (also good turning left, but not as exceptional) - I was told this could be 'matched' if desired, but I have left that alone because it drives and tracks so well, including on the highway.  It has a nice stereo, and very nice interior overall including custom CHROME door panels, ashtray, and glove box.  Solid truck overall and runs very well. Lot's of fun. CHP approved the VIN/title transfer (with street tires on) when I bought it several years ago.HERE IS WHAT IT NEEDS:

1. It's not really critical or even visible, but it needs a "bed floor" - much of the old one is removed already.  Maybe something more innovative than wood? (see pics)

2. It needs a "front-drive shaft" to complete the front drive-train (I bought it like this, but it is very drivable without the front wheel drive line).  I intend to get this done this year if not sold.

3. The passenger side of the windshied has a few "wiper-marks".  I have a complete set of windshield 'stainless' trim to apply upon a future windshield replacement - no rush.

4. It could eventually use a fresh "paint-job" to become the ultimate 'SHOW TRUCK'.  There are some minor areas of corrosion to address - but not bad for its age (see images).

5. It has mostly original guages and interior controls (ie: gas guage, odomoter, speed, heater, etc.) -  which could stand to be updated or improved.  It does have new temp and volts guages.

REASON FOR SELLING:

I am selling it "as-is" and of course without any warranty, but for it's age it is really special and obviously a head turner.  I am selling/trading it to get a stock Jeep Wrangler for my wife.

Please contact me if you want to come see it here in Santa Paula, CA or think you have a trade offer - Thanks, James 805-479-5000.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
