This is a classic custom "Muscle Truck" that I custom ordered brand new in '96 with all the right options such as heavy duty cooling and engine and trans oil coolers, 3.42:1 posi differential, A/C,PL,PS,PB,tilt wheel, cruise, int. wipers, rear sliding window. It has a Vortec Supercharged 5.0 V8. It's in excellent condition and the mileage is all original and super low. It has been dropped professionally with all Bell Tech components consisting of the 2" drop springs and 2" drop spindles in front with a 6" drop and reinforced C-section in back for that classic muscle truck look and runs all Bell Tech Nitro Drop shocks. It has a hard fiberglass tonneau cover from Traders covering the bed and there is a thick rubber bed mat for protection and to make sure cargo doesn't slide around. The wheels are super rare ORIGINAL Boyd's Lotus design, I was told that these were the first set sold..can't prove that but I know they took 3 months to get them to me. These wheels are very light which is great for handling. The tires are Goodrich T/A's with 245/60-15 in front and 275/60-15 in back. I also added a rear sway bar which makes it handle more like a Firebird than a pickup. It comes with 3 pulleys and belts for the blower to vary the boost but I would recommend adding another injector and a power programming for the high boost pulley. The exhaust is an Edelbrock cat back system terminating in hidden 96 Corvette tips. I wanted a unique hood scoop different from the usual cowl induction stuff you always see in use so I incorporated a genuine Enderle funny car bug catcher into the hood and designed a throttle cable system to work with the throttle pedal action. The cable and hardware are all available and are the same parts used on funny cars so you know they are good high quality materials. The blower whine and the way the truck looks really causes heads to turn on the street! The trans has a TransGo Trans Pak in it for snappy shifts, second gear gets real nice chirps out of those T/A's. This truck will cruise effortlessly and running at 80 mph takes nearly no throttle input and mountain grades do not affect it. There's a pillar mounted Autometer Boost gauge to keep up on the output from the Vortec. It has a Speed Grill in anodized aluminum and a custom front bumper with KC driving lights built in with stone covers that swivel up into the bumper for a clean look. It has a Sony stereo system with a 10 disk changer behind the seat...I couldn't get it to work the other day, it's had little use, might need cleaning but the head unit is fine. The truck has new custom paint with a great silver on top that has a ton of fine metal flake in it and the bottom is a medium blue that will turn from blue to dark blue and purple as the light changes. The blue has deep fine metal flake and then a very light fine flake in the top layers which look like stars above the base flake. Then the colors are separated with a custom painted pinstripe in lime green which really sets it off. The truck took best in class first time out. I recently had the silver redone (got scratched) and more clear over both colors and it looks fantastic, even better than it did in last years show! This is a 100% non smoker truck. It's probably very safe to say this is a one off and you won't find another like it anywhere. This is a NICE super low mile one owner custom truck! If you are looking for something that will stand out and be exclusive then this is it! Although the truck is in excellent condition there is no warranty of any kind expressed or implied and is being sold as is. Ok, now that that is out of the way bid to win this fun and great looking head turning truck!

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We 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.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
