1962 Chevy C10 Pick Up Restomod 4.6 With Overdrive on 2040-cars

I was asked to relist this truck by a couple of Ebay members who missed the auction but heard of it. I would like to sell it for cash and fund my next project. I do have a local person who has a very interesting trade and some cash for the truck if it does not sell this time. This will be the last time I offer it for sale. 



This is my daily driver. I built this truck over the winter to be an old looking truck with newer under pinnings. It is a 1962 Chevy C10  truck on a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis frame and running gear. It looks like a truck but drives like a car. It has a 4.6 Liter ford motor fuel injected with an overdrive transmission. It has coil springs on all four corners and 4 wheel disc brakes. It sounds good and drives down the road nicely.

The body has some putty in it not to fill holes but to smooth it out after some patching with real metal welded in.The body still has imperfections in it so do not expect a high dollar restoration on it. The cab has all new seal and gaskets for the windows. The paint is a base with out the clear so that it will haze and give me that old truck in the sun look. It is not perfect but it sure does turn heads and get thumbs up. It is a good daily driver that you can get on the highway and pass traffic with.  

The instrument panel , wiring harness, pedal assembly, and steering column from the car are carefully adapted to fit the truck. Everything on the cluster works as it should and the truck is still scannable for diagnostic under the dash .

There are some things that still need to be addressed:
1) the heater core is disconnected because the core had a hole 
2) the defroster vent hose to the windshield  need to be sourced and installed
3) there is no glove box insert
4) the truck needs to be undercoated yet
5) the drivers door needs more adjustment or a new latch ( it shuts but you have to slam it)
6) no seat belts ( did not come from the factory till later years)
7) headlites need to be aimed
8) some sqeaks when driving from drivers door 

I am trying to tell you every concern I have with the truck. I have nothing to hide and will really miss driving this truck when she goes. Any questions please call 269-687-8098 I will be happy to answer them

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
