1978 Chevy C10 Pick Up Truck W/ Inline Six And 3 Speed On The Tree on 2040-cars
Palo Alto, California, United States
|
It pains me to think about selling this truck, but the time has come. This past summer, I drove it across the country with all my belongings and a trailer with two motorcycles. In Alabama, I had the clutch replaced, so that only has a few thousand miles on it.
The inline six coupled to a manual makes this truck much more economical than a big V8. I recently installed a working odometer, but haven't filled it up yet to track mileage. I once calculated about 17 or 18 mpg on the highway just using mileage approximations. Pretty much everything works. The gauges all work, the lights work, and I have an old radio in there that works (when speakers are attached). In the past 3 years of owning it, I've replaced the following: water pump ($50) alternator ($60) battery ($100) belts ($20) rear diff oil ($20) transmission oil (part of clutch job) starter ($60) clutch ($600) radiator ($100) radiator hoses ($20) heater core ($40) thermostat air filter shocks, front and rear (KYB gas-a-just, $160) all ignition components (wires, cap, rotor, module, $60) The compression is good and even all the way around. I wanted to make sure it would make the +2500 mile trip last summer, so I did my due diligence to get it ready. This is a NC car with NC plates, and I have the clean title in my name. The car is located in the SF Bay Area. I'm not sure how many miles are on it. Odometer was out when I bought it. I have since replaced it with a working one. Just so everyone knows, this is a long bed, 2 wheel drive, C10 with a 250ci inline six. There is a bit of rust on the lower part of the door panels and floor. They make replacement steel sections that you can find at Summit Racing and other vendors. Please message me with any questions. |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
