This a running and driving car. Motor is a 383 Stroker motor-with no computers running it. Previous owner did all the work to it including NOS with 150HP kit on it. I just had the bottle filled and tested the system up to the point of purging the system-I have not tried using the system while it is running-as it is very fast now-and previous owner says it should only be used when wide open. Also my understanding is when the NOS it is run the timing needs to be retarded. Motor doesnt smoke or knock and transmissions shifts good.
I bought this 6 months ago and had it parked for future racing-but have since bought a 68 Chevy truck to do that in which is much easier for this old man to get in and out of. With me only cranking it occasionally and moving around in the yard-it would not hurt to do a tune up on it and adjust the timing. It's running a little rich at present.
It needs a paint job and some of the fiberglass will need work on it. Also with the Highrise intake and the carburator with a correct air breaher on it-it hits the hood-and will need a air scoup on the hood.
Tires are very good and brakes feel good and car drives good. Nice stereo. Has a high pressure Holley Fuel pump.
Here is a list of odd and in's that will need work:
1.Drivers window switch has to be played with to get it open.
2. Drivers door needs new handle installed to open from outside-I have one for it.
3. Instrument cluster has been sprayed with a black clear sealer-and is hard to read.
If you have questions I will try to anser-Thanks Pat Callahan 334-514-0268

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today 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.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
