HERE IS A GORGEOUS 1980 CHEVROLET C-10 SILVERADO SHORT BED FLARESIDE PICKUP TRUCK WITH 90K ORIGINAL MILES, DUAL GAS TANKS, NICE COLORS AND BUILT V8 THAT IS READY TO CRUISE!

Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person.

Vehicle came out of NY. I purchased it a few months ago and have used it as a shop truck of sorts. It was redone about 10-12 years ago and has been gently used since then. Recently, the body/paint was wet sanded and buffed out professionally. NEW tires were put on the stock reconditioned wheels. NEW battery, NEW fuel pump, NEW carburetor, and a ton more minor servicing and maintenance was performed. This is by far the most dependable and reliable truck I've owned in a long time, with 90k original miles.

OPTIONS:

Power steering

Manual brakes

Bench seat interior

Dual exhaust (with Flowmaster style mufflers)

Stock truck Rally wheels with 31" tires (NEW)

Automatic transmission on the column

Dual gas tanks

Bedliner

Dual color (chevy hugger orange and white)

Bed cover

Tow hitch

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty exhaust system. Motor is a 350ci V8 (bored 0.030 over with a few minor internal upgrades like a mild camshaft and such) pushing out approx. 275hp. It has an aluminum intake manifold, Accel electronic ignition coil, full headers into dual Flowmaster style mufflers, Edelbrock 4bbl. carburetor and lots more. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears without any noises or grinding. Now as for driving the car, i've taken it out of state several times, and everywhere around town to haul parts. You can cruise with it on the highway all day and I would trust it to drive anywhere at the drop of a hat.

Interior is very presentable. Bench seat in good shape (one small repair by lower left side). Door panels in fair shape overall. Carpet is worn and has a couple of rips here and there but presentable. Headliner is ok (a bit droopy), Steering wheel in fair shape with normal wear. Dash pad has one of those plastic caps over the original and looks great. Overall very presentable for a working man's driver truck.

Underside has a SOLID frame. Floorboards have had a couple of prior metal patches but are rock solid. Bed is in excellent shape. It's as nice as you would want a truck to be without being all painted and show ready.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in fairly good shape and cleans up very nice, but was NOT a $10k paintjob so please keep that in mind (looks good but has some issues of course like small dings, a few touch-ups, some scratches, couple of stress cracks and the like). A few bubbles at base of front windshield corners. Hood has a stress crack by the front. Chrome is presentable (bumpers were replaced a few years ago), but could use headlight bezels replaced/rechromed. Carburetor is new but has a flat spot when car is just getting going. Not working: passenger side gas tank does not operate at this time for some reason, horn, perhaps a bulb or two here and there would need replacing (like the courtesy light). Some surface rust by inner door jambs and in the rear where the back of the cab meets the bed where it was not repainted during the repaint. Windshield has a small 4" crack by passenger side (not affecting visibility). 

 So overall she is not perfect and will need some form of TLC depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 33 years old  so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GREAT LOOKING and nearly RUST-FREE DRIVER needing tlc, this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some considerable investment or total restoration to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
