1972 Chevy Shortbed, Fully Restored Big Block Black Over Black Beauty on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
|
Up for grabs is my 1972 Super Cheyenne Shortbed. Most would consider this truck to be show-quality. This truck was fully restored in 2000 and has been garaged and undercove since. Has about 2500 miles since all the work was done. Speedo was reset at that time. This was not a cosmetic makeover, but a real restoration. The truck was born with a small block but was upgraded with new BBC when restored. Motor is a 74, but was built to 400 hp and even more torque. Build sheet included from reputable builder. Over .020 bore and standard crank. Works realy well. Trans built at same time. Radiator upgraded and rebuilt last week when Brand new Vintage Air installed on truck. Old AC sold with truck if buyer desires. New Set up is fully electronic and control head is stock in appearance. In my opinion, this beats stock hands-down because it loses the old vacumn controls and stiff cables, and uses modern compressor that is much lighter in weight and more efficient. this was professionally installed at cost of more than 3K alone. The only trim that appears to not have been replaced during resto are door handles and they still look great. Paint was high dollar job that still looks great. One marble size spot on bottom door corner needs repainted. For paint to look this good almost fifteen years later is testament to quality of work. Body is arrow straight, gaps good, hood hinges, doors, etc open and close like a vault. Smelly gas tank removed from cab and blazer style tankrelocated between frame rails in rear and filler moved to left rear wheel well in truck bed. Again, done to high standard. Sending unit was tweaked a few weeks ago (removed tank to fix it) worked for a while and quit. Frustrating! All other guages working including factory tach. I consider this to be the most desireable year and the most desireable colors... Thats why I bought it! I wanted something other than ralley wheels and sourced new Wheel Vintiques OEM steelies in 8" and 10". Had them powdercoated in black and then clear. Put new wheel vintiques chevy centers and rings on them. This setup ended costing about 800 when done. Since wheels can be a personal taste choice, I will include a set of alloys in same dimensions to new buyer. Tires at 50% or better. The suspension on this truck is stock. The truck sits nice and drives nice. Front disc brakes of course. The mufflers are new as are the stainless tips at rear. Louder than a stock muffler but not flowmaster loud. The interior is near perfect, if not perfect. Dash pad was replaced as was most of the bling. Seat and carpet show no wear or damage. The starter is new, carb was kitted a few months ago. Newish battery. Glass near perfect, if not perfect. Reguators great. Bumpers rechromed and look new. I welcome/encourage personal inspection by buyer or buyer's agent. If you can afford the gas, you could fly in and drive this home. Too nice for open transport. I have the build sheet for this truck and all reciepts. Selling for considerably less than build cost. title held at my bank (USAA) Fitted Car cover included with sale. Car at my place under cover inside. Happy to store for up to a month for buyer if needed. Happy to provide photos for interested parties and to speak on the phone. Thanks

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
