You are looking at one of the few nice, solid, and original square body S-10s left out there. Most have been cut up, lowered, or had a V8 crammed in them and run to death. This has been an unaltered southern truck it's whole life and the body really reflects it. It is also an original bucket seat console truck with all exterior trim color coded, no chrome at all, which is all together rare. All these options and in the best color combo available, probably never find a truck like this again. Below is a brief description:

Exterior: The truck wears her original paint, all except the driver's fender which has had a spot refinish done some time long ago. The paint is not chalky, although faded, it is very presentable waxed up. I recently installed new door bushings, so the doors are tight and don't droop. Has a good windshield and the rear glass is a slider. Bed appears to have had a plastic liner in it since new, some surface rust under the edges, but no gaudy spray in liner hiding dents or holes. Driver's door has a few dents, other than that and a few minor blemishes, the body is rust free and straight to be 21 years old. Rockers, cab corners, floors, rust free as in pics. Tires a very good, wheels are not beat up.

Interior: I think this is the best part. Besides a few cracks in the dash, which we all know, happens to the trucks early in their lives, the insides are great. New headliner last week, carpet is original and nice. Door panels clean as well. Seat's cloth has no tears or rips and is still firm. Sits awesome. Console has a blemish in the lid, but is not broken or loose. The interior looks like it should, not abused. Heat is hot, a/c is cold, everything inside works as it should.

Drivetrain: 4.3 Liter v6 powers the truck, backed by an overdrive transmission. I was told the 93's had a much better tranny than the older ones. It shifts nice and strong. The engine runs flawlessly as well, I have owned many of the 90's Chevy v6 engines, they never let me down no matter the mileage. I just spent $500 on front end components to make this baby drive as good as she looks. All ball joints, control arm bushings, alignment, etc. Anything they saw needed, done. Oil changed, she is clean and ready to roll.

In closing, you will be hard pressed to find another older S-10 even remotely this solid and straight, let alone with these options. This is just a nice, original, rare find that is all there with no modifications. If you have a feedback score of 10 or less or a negative rating, please email before bidding or it will be canceled. Sorry, I have had problems with this often. Inspections are welcome, but please check my feedback, I describe my vehicles accurately and the buyers are always pleased. Email with any questions and thanks for looking.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels

Sat, Dec 20 2014

The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.

2016 Lamborghini Huracan at the Horse Thief Mile | AutoblogVR

Tue, Sep 13 2016

AutoblogVR returns to the Horse Thief Mile in the Mojave Desert to put the Lamborghini Huracan to the test. It's everything we want a modern supercar to be: Powerful, striking in appearance, and a riot to drive. But does it live up to Lamborghini's unique performance heritage? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reviews the Huracan on Horse Thief's unyielding curves and elevation changes to find out. Meanwhile, Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin reviews a different kind of performance car – the Chevy SS at the IndyCar circuit on Detroit's Belle Isle. He's ably assisted by ace driver Simon Pagenaud. You must watch his hot lap! The SS is old-school V8 American muscle wrapped in Australian design and engineering. This AutoblogVR segment also launches on the app Sept. 13, and the teaser follows the Huracan preview above. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. Â— Consumer Editor Jeremy KorzeniewskiÂ Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
