1995 S10 Custom
Lorelei

Up for auction is Lorelei a one off custom from Fod's Garage. This beautiful S10 was completed, and made it's debut in Virginia, June of 2013. Where it won best engineered, best interior, and was shot for two magazines. The idea behind the build was to infuse the mini truck and hot rod styles. The truck was purchased used in 96 by a friend who has done paint work for the shop in the past. He began modifications and showed the truck in various forms over the years. I then purchased the truck and took it to it's current state. With only 49xxx miles she has lived a charmed life.
The description is lengthy but I want the buyer as informed as possible and see the effort and quality parts put into this build. Take time to look over the pictures here and more on the Fod's Garage website. We provide turn key customs as well and commissioned builds. If you have any questions please contact me before placing a bid (fod@fodsgarage.com or 812-216-0635). Vehicle is for sale locally and auction may end at any time prior to reserve being met.

Exterior
Starting with one of the most dramatic modifications being the tailgate area. The tailgate has been leaned forward to emulate a 55 Chevy Nomad. Pods were then constructed out of sheet metal to house 55 taillights and form the "fin". No fiberglass or universal fit parts, all hand crafted specifically for this build. Doors have been suicided and open to nearly 90 degrees. The door handles were shaved and drivers side is operated by remote. Filler panels cover the stock mirror locations and now have 55 mirrors in their place. A steel cowl induction hood adds to the hot rod style. Under side of hood is finished in satin black for a factory appearance. Headlights, grille, and front bumper are from a 98 Envoy. The grille is all chrome with a 55 hood emblem replacing the bowtie. Fresh DuPont paint wraps the truck in a custom white pearl and Mini Cooper blue with a black spray in liner. Original 56 Bel Air trim was cut down and reshape to fit the contours of the body then re-polished. You might see other trucks out there with painted on trim but not the real thing! Fitting original trim is simply too difficult making this truck stand out from the rest. The truck also has a traditional body drop, or channeled depending on who you talk to. The floor of the bed was raised an addition two inches to retain a flat floor with no bridge required.
Suspension
Font suspension has lowered spindles and Firestone air bags. The rear is a 4 link setup also using Firestones. Air tank and two compressors are located under the bed. Solenoids with 3/8 lines provide front and rear control. Rolling attire is made up of 17" torque thrust wheels on all four corners and fresh Zexius tires. 225/45 on the front and 245/45 on the rear. 
Drivetrain
Power comes from a throttle body 4.3 v6 with JBA headers. The truck originally had a 5 speed manual that has been replaced with a 700r4. 
Interior
The inside is packed with custom treatments throughout. The dash is from a 55 Chevy and has been cut down to fit. The cd player and air ride controls are hidden behind a panel in the dash so they don't distract from the clean lines. The instrument cluster and speaker pods have been relocated and glove box has also been removed. Gauges are custom pearl white Belera II from Classic Instruments. A pearl white faced air pressure gauge is installed in the stock clock location. A 65 mustang heat and a/c unit is housed in a recess in the dash for a factory look. Unit has not been hooked up. Having heat and air in a body dropped mini truck is a BIG deal, as this is usually one of the first things to go to accommodate the front tires. Steering input is done through a custom steering wheel made by Con2r mounted to a tilt column. Prior to interior installation the cab was treated with sound and heat deadening material. Carpet is a short loop in blue from ACC  matching carpet from the 50's and 60's. Sill plates are a brushed stainless for a factory feel. Low back bucket seats have you riding in comfort. Staying true to the mini truck scene audio equipment was not forgotten. Behind the seats you will find 3 Rockford Fosgate p3d10 subs powered by a p1000 amp. Also in the amp rack are two p200's. One for the highs mounted in the pillars and the other for mids in the doors. Still leaving room for a driver over 6 foot tall. Door panels were made using arm rests, trim, and window cranks from a 55. Interior treatment is finished off with a suspended headliner, 55 visors, and rear view mirror.

 All shipping costs are the responsibility of winning bidder. Deposit and payment arrangements are required within 48 hours of auction completion. Vehicle will not be released until payment is made in cash or clears my bank. Truck has a clear Indiana title.
 
Legal type stuff
As is with all custom vehicles there may be items that do not conform to your local laws. Custom/hot rod vehicles are not factory production units and therefore many not perform as such. These could, but do not necessarily include: interior or air ride leaks, altered ride and handling characteristics, decreased visibility, modified or removed safety items, deeming them off road use only. Therefore all altered vehicles are sold for off road show purposes only. Fod's Garage is not responsible for any damage or injuries caused while operating this vehicle. This truck is in good working order but is sold as is with no warranty or guarantees.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
