1995 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado Extended Cab Pickup 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Union Grove, Wisconsin, United States
The Pumpkin Truck. I named the
truck that because when I brought it home in October of 2003, it leaked air so
bad, that it shortly was sitting on the garage floor looking like, a giant
pumpkin. This is a
1995 Chevy C1500 that is a lot of fun to drive.
84,000 original miles. No rust. Stored
winters. Dependable. I have had it to Nebraska, Mississippi,
Georgia. Decent fuel mileage; 13 city,
17 highway. I bought it at 68,000. Motor has approx. 10,000 mi. Body
mods: Approx. $15,000
* Note: A
body drop is where the entire body, front to back, is tucked over the frame by
cutting out the floor and all body/bumper mounts; moving them up, and
re-welding the works. Interior
mods: Approx. $2,600
Chassis
mods: Approx. $7,600
Engine
Mods: Approx. $10,500
* Accel DFI
included a 1000cfm throttle body, single plane intake, sequential port
injection, 8 injectors, rails, fuel pump, ECM (Engine Control Module),
sequential distributor, coil and spark control, electric fuel pump. With a bigger cam and injectors, the
motor will make 500hp. Cost of purchasing the truck: $18,000 So, the cost of the truck is almost
offset by the body mods. I have over $40K invested. Nothing for my labor/time. Will consider trade for a late model
4X4 pickup. See more at www.HillJean.com Enjoy! |

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
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 applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
