Up for auction is my 1978 chevy c 10. This is my personal truck that I have owned for 19 years. I have touched every nut and bolt on this truck and can answer any question you may have. I purchased it from Virginia in 1994 and drove during the summers only until 2008 and took it completely apart and restored/rebuilt everything. The body was as near perfect as they come. It was stripped and painted in pieces with all new window glass and nos trim and weatherstrip. The paint was sanded and buffed and looks excellent. It is a factory 454/turbo 400 (rare in a shortbox) truck with pw, pl, factory gauge package, a/c which is not hooked up. It comes with a new sure fit system from vintage air which covers the opening on the fire wall looks very clean when finished. The power windows run slow. Motor was done in 2010. It is bored 30 over, small cam, holly street avenger carb, headers and flowmaster exhaust, all fresh, nice street motor,runs strong. Tranny was rebuilt with 2200 daco convertor. Rear end is a factory 12 bolt with a new eaton posi unit and richmond 3:73 gears. Braking system is all new with stainless lines. The interior is tasteful and clean. The truck has air ride in the front only. The system could be used for front and rear. The rear has a flip kit and 2 inch blocks. I was happy with the way it rode and the stance so I didn't bother doing the air ride in the back. The wheels are coys 20's in the back and 18's in the front. This entire truck was gone through including, motor, tranny, brakes, suspension, body and paint. Everything was completed in 2010. I have piles of receipts of the work/parts for the truck. The plan was to keep it forever but I need a back seat so I am building a 67 Nova vehicle. Was treated better than most peoples children (for sure it's cleaner). If it hits reserve it goes if not it will stay in my garage. This is not some truck being "flipped" on e-bay. It is my baby with a lot of pride and money into it. Note my perfect feedback. Buyer is responsible for all shipping. I have a local shipper I can put you in touch with. You are welcome to come look at it or e-mail with questions. I am located in Buffalo, NY, zip code, 14224. Thanks.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
