This is a 1995 Chevy S10 customized with a '98 S10 front clip, 4 cylinder engine, manual transmission with under 85,000 miles, and full airbag suspension, but has sat in a garage for over a year with no work done to it since put away. The garage fees are getting expensive so I must sell. First the exterior..it has a '98 S10 nose. The inside fender supports have been cut for 20'' rims. It has shaved door handles with door poppers controlled with remote. The bed has been fully shaved including tailgate, gas cap, and has custom license plate bracket frenched into the tailgate. Molded in roll pan, and slim line brake lights. Outside.. has been primered brown, white flush mount Tonneau cover, hood is also in white. The body is in good condition. Has one small surface rust spot on bed and a small crack where the tailgate was welded cause the Tonneau cover was slamming down on it. (Crack is about 5 inches long, an easy fix, it just has to be welded.) 85% of the body work is done, just needs some touch ups here and there, and then will be ready for paint. The suspension..has airbags front and back, tubular control arms up front, spring pockets were cut to accommodate the bags. All that it needed is gussets welded in where cut for added strength. Rear has a road grader kit, 2 five gallon tanks and 2 air compressors. When stored one year ago, both compressors worked. Last week when I checked the truck, only one compressor was coming on. Not sure if it's a wiring issue or the compressor, worst case scenario, you would have to buy a new compressor for $120.00. It also needs a high amp relay for both compressors . Its ran by a CCE 10 switch controller. Interior..its all there but radio and is in rough shape. Has power Envoy leather seats in good condition, but the power is not hooked up yet. Has a new exhaust and cold air intake. Check engine light comes on and off at times. This started happening after I added the cold air intake. Car runs and drives, just needs some work to be a complete truck.I have no time to work on the truck anymore, so it needs to go. Also, the left driver side brake light is cracked and needs to be re-wired. The original gas tank was cracked so I added a plastic gas tank that is in the bed. Like I said, there is alot of stuff that someone needs to finish. This truck is being sold as is. No returns, no warranty. A $300 non refundable deposit is due at end of auction. The rest to be paid in cash upon pick up. The truck is located in Glen cove, NY. Buyer must contact me to make arrangements for pick up. Any questions, please feel free to email me. Thanks and good luck bidding.

Weekly Recap: Ford guns for 2016 Le Mans glory with new GT

Sat, Jun 13 2015

On the eve of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford confirmed it will return to the French endurance race in 2016 and campaign the new GT racecar 50 years after three GT40s swept the podium at the Circuit de la Sarthe. The factory will back a two-team, four-car effort that will compete in the World Endurance Championship and the Tudor United SportsCar Championship running cars operated by Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. The GT racecar will make its track debut in January at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and the driver lineup will be announced later. "But rest assured, there's quite a line forming out the door," Ganassi said at the announcement. The GT is the modern successor to the iconic GT40, which won Le Mans four straight years from 1966-1969. The racecar is a rolling testbed of Ford's latest technologies, including a powerful twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. The car also makes extensive use of carbon-fiber pieces and advanced aerodynamics. Ford tapped Multimatic Motorsports of Canada and Roush Yates Engines to aid in the development of the GT racer. The road-going version, which was revealed in January at the Detroit Auto Show, is also set to launch next year. It caps Ford's growing performance lineup, and the company has ambitious plans to launch more than 12 new sporty models by 2020, including hot metal like the Focus RS, F-150 Raptor, and Shelby GT350R. The GT embodies Ford's best tech, but news of its return to Le Mans immediately conjured images of the company's fierce rivalry in the 1960s with Ferrari and intense competition with Porsche. "When the GT40 competed at Le Mans in the 1960s, Henry Ford II sought to prove Ford could beat endurance racing's most legendary manufacturers," Ford executive chairman Bill Ford said in a statement. "We are still extremely proud of having won this iconic race four times in a row, and that same spirit that drove the innovation behind the first Ford GT still drives us today." Ford is going back to Le Mans. Somewhere, Hank the Deuce must be smiling.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode

Fri, Apr 17 2015

MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.
