I've got my 1985 Chevrolet K10 Silverado Edition up for grabs. This thing is an absolute beast with 96K~ miles on powered by a 350. It rides on a 4 inch lift with 35 inch Toyo Open Country Tires (tires have tons of life left in them come check em out!). Repainted and interior has been redone. Dual gas tanks. Tow hitch, I tow my 16 ft Shasta with this thing and it does great. The bed has a spray liner in it that is less than a year old, 8ft bed. I recently put in 4k of maintenance into the baby to prepare to sell it. It runs great. I live in the mountains and has been my daily driver and has done great commuting up and down the hills and through traffic. 4 wheel drive locks right in. It is loud and I get looks and compliments everywhere I go. The reason I'm selling is I'm looking to get something with better mpg while I save for medical school expenses.

New Carburetor
New oil and transmission pan
Had an engine leak -> has no (noticeable) engine leak now
New Power Steering Pressure Hose
New front break hoses
Front brake pads replace
New ball joints, U-Joints, and spindle seals
Wheel Bearing repack
Transmission fully serviced
New shift shaft seal

I can provide you with the entire invoice that was all done by the rad professionals at The Shop Automotive in Boulder.

Note:

-if you need to register this in a county that requires emission, it will need a new catalytic converter and possible an ignition timing adjustment. You can get a 1 year waiver as the stock cat is not made anymore.
-Needs a new windshield washer reservoir
-Temp gauge isn't connected to engine
-AC needs to be recharged

More pics to come. Can also send video of it running/walk around by request.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

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?

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?

Sun, Jan 10 2016

Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
