Year:1973 Mileage:119426
Location:

Oroville, California, United States

Oroville, California, United States

Up for bidding is a well equipped 1973 4x4 Suburban. This was in the process of being restored in 1985 and the owner passed away. It has been in a garage ever since. It was professionally painted and new carpet and seat upholstery have been installed. This is super clean with no rust. It will need a hood (the one included is bad and is there to keep engine covered), rubber seals, dash pad, back bumper, lenses, and probably some small items to get it all back together. The 35 engine will probably need to be replaced as it is seized from setting for over 25 years. There is a small dent below the marker on the right front fender. The tires have great tread, but are over 25 years old. There are a couple of small chips in the paint and a chip in a fin on the grille.  It has ac, but in unknown working condition. The axles are dana 44 big hub and corp14 bolt with 8 lugs and 4.10 gears. The transmission and transfer case are sm465 and np205. There is a 4 speed tilt column that is tight and a factory tachometer that is untested. All of the glass is there, but not installed  This is a great rust free starting platform if you want a nice 4x4 suburban that just needs the interior finished and the engine replaced. Buyer responsible for shipping and I will cooperate with your shipper to make it as easy as possible for delivery. Please do not bid if you have a zero feedback history without contacting me first. I will not release the truck until your funds have cleared. Paypal for the deposit and cash or cashiers check for the balance. If you have any questions, please call or text me at 530-370-9200...text is best as my phone service area is bad

Thanks,

Ray

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer 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.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
