1972 Chevrolet C10 on 2040-cars
Florham Park, New Jersey, United States
|
Finished in bright yellow paint with a sweet-running 406 small block under the hood, this 1972 Chevrolet C10 pickup is too nice to take to work, and too functional to be merely a toy. If you need a hobby vehicle that is willing to earn its keep, look no further.??Chevrolet called the paint nothing more than Yellow and it's a great choice for one of the most handsome trucks to come out of the GM design studios in years. This is a very clean truck that has never been rusty or abused. Instantly recognizable coming or going, these trucks are seeing a big resurgence in their popularity and prices for nice ones like this are slowly but surely inching up. Two tone paint gives it a traditional look, and ties in with the lettering on the tailgate. ?? Speaking of the passenger compartment, the bench seat has been reupholstered in correct black vinyl, which is an ideal contrast to the bright yellow paint. New black carpets on the floor give the blue collar truck a white collar feel and help control noise and heat as well. The dash, door panels, and lower kick panels have been painted to match the body, tying the entire truck together, and you can see the level of detail in the door jambs where the two-tone color scheme continues. All the original gauges are fully functional, with a column-mounted tach and a trio of auxiliary gauges down low completing the under-hood picture. Freshly rebuilt in June 2011, the 406 cubic inch Chevy V8 under the hood runs as well as it looks. There's a Holley carb sitting atop an Edelbrock intake, and a bright chrome air cleaner and matching set of valve covers add some flash. There's also a new alternator, fresh hoses throughout, and a set of long-tube headers feeding a dual exhaust system. The TH350 3-speed automatic was rebuilt at the same time and has been outfitted with a performance-oriented 2800-RPM stall torque converter that will bark the tires if you're not careful. Out back, 3.73 gears give this little yellow truck some real pickup, and it rolls on a set of traditional Rallys wearing 275/60/15 performance radials that really stuff the wheel wells. This is a well loved garage queen in need of a new home for the summer. The truck is advertised locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please send me a message if you have any questions. |

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.
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).

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
