1971 Chevy C10 454 Custom Street Rod The C series was Chevrolet’s full size pick ups from 1960 – 1999. The 1960 model year introduced a new body style of light pick-up trucks that featured a drop-center ladder frame which allowed the cab to sit lower and independent front suspension which gave an almost car-like ride in a truck. The cab was changed for 1964 by eliminating the wraparound windshield, the front grille was redesigned and there were various interior changes. In 1969 it received a redesigned grille again along with a more upright hood. Originally from Texas this sweet rod was restored about 8 years ago at which time the odometer had just flipped 100,000 so the current odometer reading reflects the mileage on the restoration. The heart of this gorgeous truck is a 454 that was performance built by Keith Black and is now a 476 estimated to put out 450hp. The 700R4 was just installed about 2,000 miles ago and when combined with the Eaton 3:08 posi rear end is capable of close to 20 mpg on the highway. When you get in to it you know she means business as it sounds just plain nasty ripping through its 3” exhaust with X pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. She is an absolute pleasure to drive with power steering, power disc brakes, power windows, CD and ice cold A/C. The paint looks as if it was just sprayed yesterday and has a mirror shine. It has been lowered 3” up front and 4” in the rear which really gives this beauty an aggressive stance. When the car was lowered it received a larger front sway bar as well as a rear sway bar making her a pleasure to drive. Also worth noting are the beautiful polished Centerline rims, bright chrome work, sliding rear window, tonneau cover, bed rug and the fact that she has received her NSRA Safety 23 Certification. If you have been looking for Custom Chevy pick up you will be hard pressed to find one as powerful and reliable as this one for what we are asking. If you could see yourself cruising in the sweet rod you better call us before it’s gone!

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
