1970 Chevy C10 Duramax Diesel Shortbox Pickup on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
|
This auction is for a 1970 Chevrolet C10 Custom 10 that really is true to its name "custom". I worked really hard to build this truck to appear as it came but with a big surprise under the hood. The drive train is still in its stock form as it came from a 6,700 lb 2006 2500HD except for the deleted egr, egr cooler, intake heater, and catalytic converter. It has only 105,000 miles and has never been modified or abused. But now at only 4,200 lbs the Duramax LBZ's factory 360 hp and 650 lb-ft make this thing a blast to drive. A simple tune and a few easy upgrades would make it really wild. Or just cruise the highway in the Allison's sixth gear and get better fuel economy than most cars. This truck gets great attention and compliments everywhere it goes before anyone even realizes it isn't just another carbureted 350. The sound alone causes double takes and confusion at every stop. The Duramax badges fit and match so perfectly I have to point them out for people to notice when the ask what's under the hood. I have a mountain of receipts from all the new parts like the new inner fenders, new power steering gearbox, the relocated under bed aluminum fuel cell, new radiator, new custom front mount intercooler, custom driveshaft, trans-dapt polyurethane engine mounts, energy suspension body mounts, dual electric cooling fans, new auxiliary transmission cooler, the firewall and floor has been covered with heat and sound deadener before it was carpeted, just to list most of the recent bigger stuff. The original 12 bolt rear end was only upgraded with a larger, stronger 1350 flange and is otherwise stock. This is a really cool truck but I want the buyer to understand it has not been fully restored. The paint looks really nice from about 6 feet away, but not as nice up close. There are quite a few small chips here and there. The frame and cross members had to be modified to make this work but has been reinforced. It has had the cab corners, rockers, and all 4 floor supports replaced, and some other patchwork underneath the floor all before it was painted last time, it will still need a new bed floor for the body to be rust free and ready for a higher quality paint job. At this time is does not have heat, defrost, or air conditioning. The bench seat has a cover because it has cracks in the driver side vinyl. I did not install a stereo because I didn't want to permanently cut the original dash holes not knowing what the next owner would want. It does still have a speaker in the center of the dash. Otherwise it is perfectly fine the way it is. A person could spend a fortune trying to make something this old cosmetically perfect just to make it nerve racking to want to drive anywhere and, heaven forbid, leave it alone in a parking lot. So I like it the way it is and I think anyone else will too. The only things I would add is a nice set of gauges and some sportier tires but you can personalize it any way you want. I can deliver the truck if needed to anywhere in the continental U.S.A. as well.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
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:
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
