 Up for bid at no reserve is a 1972 Chevy k20 pickup 3/4 ton 4x4. This is a clean 1 owner Washington state truck, I am the second owner and it has 93,300 original miles. Its equipped with a fuel injected 350 engine and a 4 speed manual. This truck has had 1 repaint in the original medium blue and looks good overall.

There are lots of maintenance records with this truck and show it has been maintained very well . The engine was rebuilt in 1998 during this build the original owner added later model center bolt heads and an Edelbrock pro-flow fuel injection system, all the records for this are included. This was a high dollar system. It runs and drivers very good. Has power steering and power disc brakes and dual exhaust.

The body is very straight. This truck has the rare factory cab lights on the roof. There is some rust on the rockers and a bit in the cab corners, and under the battery tray, but this is the first time it has rusted and has never been patched. Everywhere else is rust free including cab mounts, floor boards, the upper cowl, and bed. There is a small spot of paint on the roof that has flaked off but is not rusted through. The bed has a line-x sprayed in bed liner and looks good.

The axles are the original disc brake Dana 44 front with the hard to find blue dial Spicer hubs in good condition and the Eaton rear with the gear driven np205 transfer case. The wheels and tires are brand new with less that 100mi. on them. The wheels are Wheel Vintiques 16x8 o.e. style steel that will accept factory hubcaps and the tires are 305/70R16 Toyo Open Country M/T. The wheels are black powder coat now but you could paint them any color you want.

The interior is in decent shape, has a later model Toyota seat, and a newer style cd player in it but is original besides that. The dome light and backup up lights still work as they should and still has the spare tire under it. The only thing I can think of that doesn't work is the gas gauge. If you have any questions please call Bob at 319-759-8229 before 7pm central.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
