This is a national Corvair convention 2 time "people's choice" award winning custom 1962 Corvair fuel-injected, Rampside pick-up on front airbags, with less than 100 miles on totally rebuilt F/I engine. The engine was built with 30 over forged pistons, Isky Camshaft, custom bolt on fuel injection, Mega Squirt programmable ECU, BBM mustang throttle body, GSXR fuel injectors, headers (which are dented on the bottom, but work fine), bullet pulley, one wire alt and painted, powder coated engine shrouds.

The body was totally stripped and smoothed, including shaving of door handles and all body seams. Doors and airbags work off a key fob remote which is shown in the video link below. We made custom clear taillights with red LED bulbs and built-in front bumper fog lamps.

This truck is painted with Nissan Infinity G35 Laser Blue and finished with a GM bright White Strip. The bed of the truck, cab roof, and cab floor, have been sprayed with a tough truck bed liner and colour matched with the Laser blue. Widows are tinted and 17x7 polished Centerline wheels with front disk brakes, front air bags, and totally rebuilt front suspension finish the sleek clean look.

Blue and white also carry onto the interior dash, vinyl seats and custom door panels. The dashboard fuel gauge and speedo have a laser cut white face insert that sits behind the dash glass but can be removed at the buyer's request). Included on the inside is a matching blue carpet, stereo, sub, amp and a spider head temp gauge mounted in the glove box door.

Too much to list! This an amazing, fun truck. Buyer won't be disappointed!

For a better understanding please email me for a video link or search Rampside on YouTube.

There will be some things to tinker with and some small repairs to be made, such as the small rust spots starting to come up on the bottom of both front doors (refer to pictures). As well as odds and ends bolts, screws and small door grommets which I haven't gotten around to buying yet. Tires are OK but should be changed in the next couple of years.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
