You are bidding on my 2008 Chevrolet Silverado “SS” custom with 43K miles. I purchased the truck new from the local Chevy dealer and used it as a daily driver for three years. Over the past two years I have spent~$20K on parts and labor transforming it from a V6 work truck to the 5.3L beast that you see today. I’ve upgraded or replaced the majority of parts on thetruck in an effort to build it as Chevrolet should have produced an SS Silverado.I have practically all of the receipts for purchases and documentation on the truck. This includes the original build sheet from the Fort Wayne, IN Assembly plant. In an effort to simplify things I will list the major parts that I have upgraded or replaced: As you can tell, I spared no expense in the building of this truck. Another item worth noting is that all fluids have been flushed/replaced AND the starter, radiator, and all hoses were replaced with new components 5K miles ago. In other words there is very little to worry about replacing in the next five years. In my opinion, this vehicle drives and handles better than practically any other truck on the road. I would classify it as a true "sport truck" in that it handles like a sports car, can stop better than 99% of all vehicles on the road, and has close to 400hp to get up and go. There are minor imperfections that would be associated with a vehicle that have 43K miles (i.e. rock chips and other minor imperfections) however it has always been extremely well cared for and garaged when not in use. The only remnant that reflects that this truck didn't come with the 5.3L motor is a "service 4 wheel drive" message on the driver information center when you start the vehicle. This is due to the fact that the motor came from a 4 wheel drive truck. These are truly the only areas worth noting. Feel free to ask any other questions that you may have. I've attempted to be as thorough as possible in my description of this one-of-a kind truck. You really have to drive it in order to fully appreciate all of the differences from every other Silverado on the road. I have the clear title in my possession. Thank you and good luck bidding!

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.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
