   This auction is for a 1970 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck. It features a fresh 350 CID engine bored .030", Crane Cam 268H,rebuilt cast heads, headers, Weiand intake & Edelbrock carb, gear drive timing chain,Melling HV oil pump, HEI ignition system, Flex-a-lite dual fan setup. The engine and transmission have less than 4000 miles since rebuilt. The trans is a beefed up TH350, with shift kit.The motor runs very nicely, no smoke, no leaks. This truck also has a new ClassicAuto Air PerfectFit AC& heat system installed (less than 500 miles ago).

   The suspension has been lowered via springs, the front end was rebuilt. The rear end is a 12 bolt with 3.55 gears and was rebuilt .The truck recently had a power disc brake conversion (front) done as well as new rear brakes. It also had a power steering conversion done as well, these conversions have less than 1000 miles on them.The tires are in good shape and are mounted on 15" 6 lug Rally wheels. The truck rides and handles very nicely.The undercarriage is pretty clean ,detailed and presentable.

   The body was repainted in 2011 according to previous owner,it is a metallic red that looks more maroon than red. The paint could use a proper wetsand & buff to cut some obvious orange peel and smooth out the paint surface. The only body issues I see are on the roof, they smoothed out the rear seam on roof and did some rust repairs in the rain gutter areas (typical C10 rust) that look like they are bubbling back out. There is also some surface rust on inside of roof that was not properly repaired and will need to be addressed.I have been associated with this truck since early 2012 and these issues were present then and have remained in the same stages since. These are the only areas that I see any issue with. There are also a few surface scratches on exterior that will easily buff out as they are not thru to base coat.The hood is a fiberglass 3" cowl hood, the tailgate has been shaved, the rear has been rollpanned.The tonneau cover fits tight and does keep the bed dry. The bed has an upholstered pad(removeable) . The exterior trim looks to be in great condition.

   The interior is very nice, very recent upholstery job. The seat is tweed & vinyl , the headliner matches as do the door panels. The gauge cluster is all new Autometer analog gauges (just done). The wing windows have been eliminated as well, the rear window is a slider.

   All in all this is a very good starter hotrod pickup. All the heavy lifting has been done with over $25,000 invested over 2 owners. It is a truck that can either be driven the way it is  or spend a few more bucks , fix the roof and take it to the next level, either way its an awesome deal!

  I am representing the owner in this auction, I have done a lot of work to this truck and know it very well. If you have any questions you can either email thru this ad or call me during the day at 954-782-2263 evenings at 954-401-3480 ask for Bob

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault Zoe recall, Proterra buses log 2M miles

Fri, Mar 25 2016

Renault is recalling 10,649 examples of its Zoe electric car for potential brake hose failure. Cars built at the company's Flins factory between the Zoe's 2012 introduction and October 6, 2014 - a quarter of all Zoes ever built - are subject to the recall, though no accidents have been reported from rupturing brake lines. Recalled vehicles will have the brake hose positions inspected and, if need be, fixed. Read more from Reuters. Proposed legislation in Massachusetts would make the state even more EV friendly. While the state already encourages EV adoption with a $2,500 rebate incentive, the new bill would give battery electric vehicle drivers HOV lane access. Additionally it would set up a standard building code for EV chargers, and allow EV-only parking spaces. "With decreased gas prices, a 10 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled over the last 20 years, and a carpool rate below the national average, we must address personal vehicle use directly as part of our transportation emissions reduction strategy," says Rep. Frank Smizik. Read more from Teslarati. The New York Daily News has named the 2016 Chevrolet Volt as its "Green Machine of the Year." Seamless operation, peppiness, and a nice suite of equipment make it a top choice for the publication. "The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is all new, inside and out, and takes the plug-in hybrid segment to another level, thanks to its increased EV range, updated cabin, and more efficient gas-powered engine," writes Daily News Autos writer (and all-around good guy) Nick Kurczewski. Honorable mentions go to the Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Toyota Prius, and the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. Read more from the Daily News, or at Clean Technica. Proterra electric buses have accumulated 2 million miles of revenue service. That equals 3,800 tons of carbon emissions that have been prevented and 420,000 gallons of fuel unburned. Proterra says it has 63 buses in service in 15 cities, and that it is ramping up production to meet growing demand. "This latest milestone exemplifies the economic, environmental and civic value of electric mass transit," says Proterra CEO Ryan Popple, "and demonstrates to the transit agencies that diesel - often viewed as a necessary evil - is no longer necessary."

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper

Mon, Jul 22 2019

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.
