1970 Chevy C10 Duramax Diesel Shortbox Pickup on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
|
This auction is for a 1970 Chevrolet C10 Custom 10 that really is true to its name "custom". I worked really hard to build this truck to appear as it came but with a big surprise under the hood. The drive train is still in its stock form as it came from a 6,700 lb 2006 2500HD except for the deleted egr, egr cooler, intake heater, and catalytic converter. It has only 105,000 miles and has never been modified or abused. But now at only 4,200 lbs the Duramax LBZ's factory 360 hp and 650 lb-ft make this thing a blast to drive. A simple tune and a few easy upgrades would make it really wild. Or just cruise the highway in the Allison's sixth gear and get better fuel economy than most cars. This truck gets great attention and compliments everywhere it goes before anyone even realizes it isn't just another carbureted 350. The sound alone causes double takes and confusion at every stop. The Duramax badges fit and match so perfectly I have to point them out for people to notice when the ask what's under the hood. I have a mountain of receipts from all the new parts like the new inner fenders, new power steering gearbox, the relocated under bed aluminum fuel cell, new radiator, new custom front mount intercooler, custom driveshaft, trans-dapt polyurethane engine mounts, energy suspension body mounts, dual electric cooling fans, new auxiliary transmission cooler, the firewall and floor has been covered with heat and sound deadener before it was carpeted, just to list most of the recent bigger stuff. The original 12 bolt rear end was only upgraded with a larger, stronger 1350 flange and is otherwise stock. This is a really cool truck but I want the buyer to understand it has not been fully restored. The paint looks really nice from about 6 feet away, but not as nice up close. There are quite a few small chips here and there. The frame and cross members had to be modified to make this work but has been reinforced. It has had the cab corners, rockers, and all 4 floor supports replaced, and some other patchwork underneath the floor all before it was painted last time, it will still need a new bed floor for the body to be rust free and ready for a higher quality paint job. At this time is does not have heat, defrost, or air conditioning. The bench seat has a cover because it has cracks in the driver side vinyl. I did not install a stereo because I didn't want to permanently cut the original dash holes not knowing what the next owner would want. It does still have a speaker in the center of the dash. Otherwise it is perfectly fine the way it is. A person could spend a fortune trying to make something this old cosmetically perfect just to make it nerve racking to want to drive anywhere and, heaven forbid, leave it alone in a parking lot. So I like it the way it is and I think anyone else will too. The only things I would add is a nice set of gauges and some sportier tires but you can personalize it any way you want. I can deliver the truck if needed to anywhere in the continental U.S.A. as well.

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.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
