I'm selling my Chevy C10 short wheel base to help fund a Corvette project I'm working on.  This truck is in really good condition for it's age, even compared to some of the late-model used trucks I've looked at recently, take a look at the pic.s.

  • Truck has only been driven 6,020 miles since 2008 - very seldom used (was purchased in August of 2008 with 101,767 miles)
  • Truck has SBC 350 w/Holley 4-barrel carb and a very mild cam upgrade - tranny is the standard TH350 (auto), there seems to be a very small leak on the tranny and I believe it's the yoke seal.  I have a spot about the size of a quarter in my driveway from where it sat for a while.
  • Original engine was replaced by previous owner, work performed locally at a very reputable family-owned garage.  Engine was replaced at 92,533 miles, so the new engine only has 15K miles on it.
  • Rims & Tires where upgraded at 104,422 - roughly 3K miles on new tires.  Original Rally wheels are available if buyer would like them to be included in the sale price.  American Racing rims are 7" up front and 8" in the rear
  • Gas tank was replaced about 3 years ago due to old age
  • Mufflers where replaced due to old age around the same time as tank (truck has true dual exhaust to mufflers, has nice deep sound but not too loud or obnoxious)
  • Brakes are nice and firm
  • Power steering is very smooth, no whining or shuttering when rotating the wheel 
  • Interior is in really good condition; door panels look good, carpet looks good, no rot or rips, seat still looks good and sits good
  • Console still looks great, gauge cluster looks great and everything works (even the clock still works)
  • Radio was upgraded to a nice Pioneer CD/USB stereo with nice speakers behind seat (I think CD has a remote with it, should be in glove box)
  • Heater fan works, Defroster works, A/C doesn't blow cold
  • All of the glass is in good shape, nothing broken or chipped up - seals are all still tight
  • No rust around the back window (inside or outside)
  • No frame rust damage (see pics for underneath picture or bed and frame)
  • Chrome bumpers still look great
  • Exterior still looks pretty good - it's starting to show some clear peel on the hood and there is some rust starting to come through in a couple spots on the bottom of the doors and some small areas around the rockers - it's not riddled with holes or anything like that, just needs to be mentioned
  • Paint still looks pretty good overall - hasn't been buffed out in several years so there's a lot of gloss to be gained by someone that has the time

I'm open to reasonable offers, but please don't waste your time or mine sending me offers for 1/2 or 2/3 - the truck is for sale, not to be given away.  Obviously there are no warranties (expressed or implied, written or oral), truck is sold as-is.  I will not accept a return or provide any refund - no exceptions.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping expenses, I will help load onto transporter for free.  Truck comes with a free and clear title - title in-hand.

PAYMENT:
I require a small deposit of $300.00 to be paid via Paypal within 24 hours of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  Final payment is due within three (3) calendar days of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  If final payment is not made within three calendar days, then the deposit becomes my property and I retain the rights to re-list the truck or sell the truck at will.

By bidding, and/or making an offer, and/or purchasing this truck you are agreeing to the terms above.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
