Drivetrain Is Sweet, If You Can Do A Little Body And Interior This Is A Dream on 2040-cars

So there's more in the motor and tranny than the asking price...Motor is a rebuilt all work done in the last 3 years including Crower cam and roller rockers 350, being fed by an Edlebrock polished alum carb, and performer intake. It's cooled by a brand new radiator with stock but new clutch fan, and an electric fan in the front. The transmission was rebuilt to handle the extra horsepower, and shift respectibaley when required....it's fast! Has a B&M Slap shifter, but can easily be converted back to column...The seats are gray leather electric, with center console, of course not stock. The stereo will easily drive you out of the car unless you are already deaf...Rims and tires are American Racing 17" with performance tires easily over $2k invested and over 90% tread left. The exhaust is sweet, handles great with the big tires, get's lot's of looks. Very reliable daily driver, has been to Vegas a few times, just did a 100+ mile trip with no issue's. Bumpers are straight, body is sweet other than a few spots where the paint popped from the primer, and the drivers side headlight surround is buggered up. Could use a carpet kit, but the headliner is cherry. The bed is rust free, but there is a little on the driver's side floorboard easily fixed with a patch panel, not the whole thing. Great driver project, as you can see looks great from a distance. I just went over the whole car with 320 wetsand, and these are the pic's, so what you see is what you get. I just bought a "New" Reproduction fender extension to repair the only dent on the car, I already have the bezels, and the missing piece of chrome trim around the grill. I also have the missing passenger side mirror, and SS badging for the fenders. I am still looking for a wing window crank on the driver side, I have the old one but it's busted in the middle...JB weld? Probably have the hood fixed before it's sold as I'm taking it to the El Cajon car show on thursday...gotta have fun!

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
