 What we have here is a very clean 1973 Chevy k1500 truck with a healthy 383, TH-350 Transmission and 3/4 ton running gear. Starting with the motor, the block numbers are
#1400207 which from what I have found is a 80-85 350 block with a 4-bolt main. The motor is outfitted with aluminum Holley Heads, Holley Intake and a Holley 650cfm Carburetor. The engine is also dressed with aluminum Chevy valve covers, k&n air filter, MSD Distributor, aluminum pulleys, and full length chrome headers. The down side to this power plant is a clack that is coming from a collapsed lifter and a couple minor oil leaks coming from the valve covers. The transmission was rebuilt at the same time as the motor and is in great shape with a stage 1 shift kit backed by a solid 205 transfer case. Every lifted truck should have 3/4ton running gear as the builder of the truck did with this one with matching 3:73 gears and Warn Hubs on the front end. The tires are 35x12.50R17 Dick Cepek Mud Country with 80% tread left sitting on American Eagle 17x9 polished aluminum wheels. The lift is a Tough Country 6inch with Tough Country Shocks that are in excellent shape, no leaks, rust or bends. The pictures speak for the quality of body this truck has with the amount of time spent to have it look this good; it is a real head turner especially with how well it sounds. The interior has custom high back leather bucket seats, B&M shifter, line lock, CD Player, and aluminum pedals. Any Questions please feel free to contact me and I will answer your question to the best of my ability. I am willing to ship internationally through Long Beach Harbor. Thanks for looking!

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

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.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
