For sale is a 2001 S10 which has been converted to a plug in electric vehicle. This is a totally electric truck that runs on 12-12volt batteries (144 volt system), it has an onboard charger, so you just plug it in and when it's charged you can go. The charger works on regular 120volt plugs or can also be plugged into 220 volts to charge faster. It has a range of about 20 to 30 miles, but has room to install 12 more batteries which would double it's range. Top speed is over 70 mph, but the faster you go the less range you have. It runs and drives great but it could use a few more things like a heater and a speedometer (I use an app on my cell phone works great). I moved since I built it and now have too far to drive to work. I've drove it less than 1,000 miles since the conversion so everthing is basically new. The starting bid is less than I have in all the parts, let alone all the labor and the price of the truck. A minimum of $500 is due within 3 days of auction end and the remainder due when it is picked up. It can set here for a month if needed, its not in my way and I can help with shipping setup, but don't ask for quotes I'll assist but I won't do it. I am not a dealer or auto manufacturer so truck being SOLD AS IS.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
