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.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year Â– that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?

Sun, May 22 2016

These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions. Internet, what do you think? Related Video: This article by Zach Doell originally appeared on Boldride.
