1984 Chevy C10 on 2040-cars
|
After I retired I bought this 1984 Chevy p/u and made a promise to myself to restore it completely. I decided to make some modifications to the truck but not compromising his integrity. At the time I started working on the truck the odometer showed 25348 miles. As you can see on the photos I substituted the front grille with core support for one from a 1989 Chevy Suburban. This change, to me, gave a lot of better front look even more when I installed a 4MM billet grille-polished on it. Also “Euro 150MM Halogen Headlight” and “Clear Park light Lens Kit” were installed. The rear lights bulbs were substituted by a “Led Tail Light Conversion Kit” The interior cabin was set with a pair of bucket seats from a 1995 Suburban, which were provided with a new upholstery, a console was set between them. A highline w/built-in speakers was installed, along with a new sound system (Pioneer radio) and amplifier. All the interior cabin was paint (interior of both door also) with epoxy primer and then a multi purpose insulation, a heat shield kit and a molded carpet -all these from LMC- were installed. A billet instrument , dash panel and doors trim along with a new padded dash -from Classic Industries- were included too. All suspension, motor and transmission mounts, cabin and bed mounts from “Energy Suspension” (Black Hyper-Flex Bushing Set). The engine was rebuilt and Edelbrock #350-2102 camshaft kit, designed for optimum torque from the low and to the mid-range, smooth idling cam for daily drivers was installed. Also a complete rebuilt th700r4 automatic transmission was installed.. After spending a lot more than I expected to spent, I did not pay for a good paint job but the truck is well protected against rust because I gave two coats of epoxy primer and then another two coats of 2K Urethane Primer. |

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
