 This is a 92 S-10 with a GM Ramjet 350 crate motor, 5 speed stick, Posi Rear, Air Ride Suspension, A/C, etc....  It is a previous show truck, that has a lot of money spent on it. Excuse the long description, but i want you to know what you are buying.  Even if you were to just use the frame, suspension, and drive train, to make a street rod, it is worth the asking price. A lot of street rods are being built on S-10 chassis's. Some companies are building bodies to fit directly on a S-10 chassis.  Such as Superior glass works.  They are building 37-38 Chevy Cabriolet and Sedan delivery bodies that are a direct fit.  Check out the superiorglassworks website.  Also see the last picture.
I bought this truck in New Hampshire almost a year ago.  My plan was to paint it a solid color and make it a cruise night, nice day driver vehicle. Time constraints and needing money for home improvements, meant I never got to it.  This isn't my only project vehicle.  I am selling the truck as I got it.  I  have all the New Hampshire paperwork for the truck.  I never registered it in NY.
 I have a carfax for the truck.  Yes the truck has a lot of miles on the carfax. 255,000  But the truck has been completely rebuilt.  This truck was chosen because it  was a clean, accident free, rust free, Texas truck. The truck went from Texas to New Hamshire in 2005. The GM ramjet 350 crate motor didn't come out until 2006.  The truck hasn't had that many miles put on it since the drive train, motor, suspension, etc... was replaced. Over 90% of the mileage was put on it in Texas, when it was a stock truck.

Engine:   GM Ram Jet 350 Crate Motor  listed for $5834.97 in the Summit Catalog.  It puts out 350 hp at 5200 rpm and 400 ft/lbs torque at 3500 rpm. A Ramjet 350 service manual is included.

Body:     Rust free, dent free, except for the damage to the hood and roof from the hood flying  up on previous owner. Shaved door handles. The poppers don't work with the remote.  They probably need to be replaced. Because it was a Texas truck, the rockers and floors are spotless (see pictures)    There are a few paint chips around the doors.  Passenger side mirror is cracked. The back wall of the cab was modified to fit a sub woofer and amp.  The front wall of the bed was cut out and re-welded in on a slant to clear the cab wall modifications. (see pics)  The rear roll pan is welded in and the license plate drops down with an electric motor. The tailgate handle is shaved and flipped to the inside of the tailgate. ( I have a set of clean stock doors available at extra cost if you want them )

Audio:     It has an Alpine CDA-9883 MP3/WMA/AAC receiver and CD player in the dash.  It has two speakers in the kick panels.  The back wall of the cab had two square holes cut in it. (see pics)  Two metal boxes, were welded in, to house the amplifier and sub woofer.  (The sub woofer was missing when I bought the truck.)  The amplifier is an Alpine V/12. The antenna hole was shaved on the fender and the antenna is above the rear view mirror on the windshield.

Exhaust:  It has stainless exhaust from the headers back. (see pics) There are two pipes running from the headers to the cats. Then two cats running in to one large muffler.  Then there are two pipes exiting the muffler than come out in front of the passenger side rear wheel.  The headers are Headmans.  They are uncoated, but are solid with just surface rust.

Trans and Rear:  It's a  Borg Warner 5 speed. I'm not sure which exact model. The rear is a posi.  The drive shaft spins about 3 1/2 rotations for one full rotation of the wheel. Which would work out to be a 3:50 ratio. That's just an approximation. Not 100% accurate.

Interior:  Nice shape.  Tilt steering column. Headliner is good.  Door panels good. Power windows.  Bench seat good.  Dash pad no cracks.  It's a comfortable truck.  I'm 6'5" and fit comfortably with the seat all the way back and the wheel tilted up.

Wheels and Tires :  20 inch Boss wheels and 245/35 ZR20 95W Toyo Proxes 4 tires with good tread.  Since I'm over 50 these wheels didn't appeal to me.  I have a 17" set of American Racing Salt Flat rims and tires I was going to use.  They are available at an extra cost.

Suspension:  A lot of money spent here.  Complete suspension replacement with tubular front upper + lower control arms. Dropped spindles.  4 link rear suspension. It's a Ride Tech system.    The front lower control arms are $600. Uppers are $400. Spindles $300. Four link rear suspension $1200. Shock wave shocks at least $700 a pair, depending on options.  It looks like it has the $1000 analog 4 way  air control system.  The other systems available are more expensive. (I'm not 100% sure, this is the first air ride vehicle I have owned) There is a leak somewhere on the front suspension.  Both front shocks leak down in about a 1/2 hour. i would think it would have to be a line or a valve, not a shock, because both sides go down, not one.  The rear shocks stay up for days.  If you wanted to run this truck with regular coil/leaf lowered suspension, you could sell all this off and recoup some of your investment. Check out the ridetech website and price these parts out.  Also see the picture of the ridetech website.  $5000 worth of parts.

Glass:  All glass is good.  New windshield. Sliding back window.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.

Chevy Bolt officially keeping name, says marketing boss

Thu, Apr 16 2015

There might be just a little confusion at first, but the Bolt name is sticking around. After conducting two consumer studies into the name, Chevrolet isn't worried about the similarity of the monikers for the upcoming EV and existing Volt plug-in hybrid. In fact, the brand thinks the resemblance might be for the best. "The decision is made. The name won't be changed." Chevy head of marketing Tim Mahoney said to The Detroit Free Press. The research shows that the compatibility between the two names actually works quite well. With the Volt well established, people apparently already connect the Bolt to the Bowtie, which is just what a brand wants. Both studies indicated the ""same result, it did well," according to Mahoney. Just a few months ago, the future of the Bolt's name wasn't so clear. GM North America President Alan Batey said the company knew there might be confusion, and it was still mulling its options. The Bolt could be a breakthrough in the EV market with a 200-mile range and a possible price of around $30,000 after incentives. Production is set for the Orion Assembly plant in Michigan following a $200 million upgrade there, and the model could be in dealers as soon as 2017. That's just in time to take on the Tesla Model 3 with its claimed $35,000 price and similar driving distance as the Chevy. Related Video:

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
