I purchased this truck in prefect condition but had a vision of a newer truck with Old School Hot Rod influences. I had it painted 2011 Lamborghini statin black.(truck was originally black) This truck doesn't and has never had any rust and never been in any accidents. It was never used as a truck always a show truck so the truck is and was perfect. It has full Bell-Tech lowering suspension with a C-notched frame and a rear flip kit with new Bell tech shocks ( Rides like an old Caddy). I had installed a bed rug to protect bed when I put lawn chars when we go to car shows. The engine is the factory 5.7 I didn't increase to HP because I wasn't looking to make a race truck just a cruiser. I did remove the cats and installed a flowmaster exhaust ( sounds deep with no interior resonation) The wheels are custom 50's style smoothies with a Coker true white wall. The ac was converted to current specs and blows ice cold. I have installed a 2 stage fan system to help the truck run better in hot temperatures. I custom fabricated a stainless steel grill. THis was done again with old school influences. back in the 40's & 50's guys would remove their factory grills and fabricate this style of grill for when they raced on either beaches or salt flats. Only guys who know Hot Rodding get this when they see it. All the pin stripping was done buy a good friend of mine and famous Hot Rod car Builder Voo Doo Larry. The interior is pretty much factory aside from the steering wheel and gages. THis truck always been garage kept and NEVER driven in the winter. Everything works and the truck runs perfect. The only reason Im selling it is because like most car guys I have my eye on a new project and cant afford two toys at the same time. Please understand only bid what you can afford. Im not looking for trades. Over $ 25,000.00 invested in the last 2 years. I added a pic of what the truck looked like with a SS 454 grill.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
