1984 Chevy Silverado Truck K10 4x4 105000 Miles on 2040-cars
Kent, Washington, United States
|
So I bought this truck just a short time ago with the intention of fixing it up. I priced everything that it needed and even went out to get quotes on a few things like tires and paint. I was ready to get started, but then I was offered another truck that I want more, a 1976 Dodge Warlock (the black and gold 4x4 one). I don't have the time and space to do both, and the dodge will need a lot of extra work as its in horrible condition (family truck lots of sentimental value). This truck is a good one, and very clean. It really doesn't need a lot to be restored, I priced it out at about $2500 and that was with someone else doing the majority of the work. If you wanted to do it yourself it would be a lot less. If I were to describe this truck in a single word it would be "Suprising!" The truck's paint is horrible there is no doubt about that however if you look carefully through the photos, you will see that the body is very straight. The only dent I have found is on the middle of the truck bed rail on the passenger side. Most of the rust is light surface and you will find that the bottom of the body panels are solids which is remarkable for these trucks. There are two spots of concern and they are located on the driver side cab above the door and under the rear slider window. I have included photos of these. The truck runs great and has no issues starting up cold or hot. The previous owner put on a new altenator and carburetor, and also performed a fresh tune up. The truck changes gears smoothly and the 4 wheel drive operates great. The interior of the truck is very clean although it will need a new headliner and carpet, both of which are easy cheap fixes. The parking brake appears to work, when held down it will hold the truck in place while in gear and the dash brake light will light up. The issue with it is it does not "latch" when used. The fuel tank gauge work, however it doesn't go above 1/2 tank and is floaty while driving. I would guess that there is a hole in the float and fuel inside, preventing it from functioning as designed. The fuel tank selector switch works however currently the passenger side fuel tank is disconnected as it has a rust hole in it. The old fuel tank skid protectors held dirt against them. They are currently not on the truck but I have them. The power windows and door locks work, minus the driver door look. I think a new actuator would solve this problem. Last and not least the radio currently doesn't save any stations when the vehicle is turned off. This is because the constant power on feed to the radio is disconnected. It either needs to have that connection redone or have it connected, another easy fix. |

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
