1986 S-10 Blazer 2 Door V8 Conversion, Former Show Truck/ 12 Sec Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Colonial Heights, Virginia, United States
|
You are bidding on a former 1986 S10 Blazer V8 conversion Show truck/race truck. The truck has right at 1000 miles on the build. Engine is a rebuilt 350 late model block pushing roughly 380 HP. I have it hooked up to a TH-350 with a 3600 stahl (the truck launches great about 3200 rpm). This trans was built to handle 650 HP(just in case I wanted to spray it or supercharge it.. was debating it but onto another project now). Currently the truck is set at stock height with 20 inch CHROME rims and good tires all the way around. The rear end is a 10 bolt posi-track with 4:11 gears. The Car will run 12 sec 1/4 miles all day. and with the size tire and rim you can drive it to and from the track 60mph = 2800 RPM. The car has a custom exhaust(which is LOUD, it competes with my big block chevelle), and has custom Halo HID headlights.
As for the interior. I say it WAS a FORMER SHOW CAR. as now I have taken a good bit of the interior out and used it for another project however. the interior I have replaced it with is still better than 98% of blazers and s10s you will see. Both bucket seats are covered. there is no center console anymore.. just the racing b&m shifter... back seat folds down fine, and I put a cd player in it with some speakers up front which will also go with the car. As for the body and frame this is one of the best you will see... The body is a 9.9 out of 10... IT IS ABSOLUTELY RUST FREE, LASER straight' and the paint is fresh and less than a year old. It is a custom color, I called blue gun metal, with a hand done pinstripe down each side to a red chevy symbol( paint and body work were over $5000 fyi). The frame has been powder coated and then rubber coated to protect from the elements. I also have a set of 3:42 gears that fit the rear end that I will sell with the truck, in case you'd rather have a VERY nice truck and get a little better gas mileage and go a little slower ;) Please dont hesitate to ask any questions. I want the winning bidder to be very satisfied with the purchase, and I will be happy to give anyone any details I may have left out about the truck!!! |

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.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
