1986 S-10 Blazer 2 Door V8 Conversion, Former Show Truck/ 12 Sec Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Colonial Heights, Virginia, United States
|
You are bidding on a former 1986 S10 Blazer V8 conversion Show truck/race truck. The truck has right at 1000 miles on the build. Engine is a rebuilt 350 late model block pushing roughly 380 HP. I have it hooked up to a TH-350 with a 3600 stahl (the truck launches great about 3200 rpm). This trans was built to handle 650 HP(just in case I wanted to spray it or supercharge it.. was debating it but onto another project now). Currently the truck is set at stock height with 20 inch CHROME rims and good tires all the way around. The rear end is a 10 bolt posi-track with 4:11 gears. The Car will run 12 sec 1/4 miles all day. and with the size tire and rim you can drive it to and from the track 60mph = 2800 RPM. The car has a custom exhaust(which is LOUD, it competes with my big block chevelle), and has custom Halo HID headlights.
As for the interior. I say it WAS a FORMER SHOW CAR. as now I have taken a good bit of the interior out and used it for another project however. the interior I have replaced it with is still better than 98% of blazers and s10s you will see. Both bucket seats are covered. there is no center console anymore.. just the racing b&m shifter... back seat folds down fine, and I put a cd player in it with some speakers up front which will also go with the car. As for the body and frame this is one of the best you will see... The body is a 9.9 out of 10... IT IS ABSOLUTELY RUST FREE, LASER straight' and the paint is fresh and less than a year old. It is a custom color, I called blue gun metal, with a hand done pinstripe down each side to a red chevy symbol( paint and body work were over $5000 fyi). The frame has been powder coated and then rubber coated to protect from the elements. I also have a set of 3:42 gears that fit the rear end that I will sell with the truck, in case you'd rather have a VERY nice truck and get a little better gas mileage and go a little slower ;) Please dont hesitate to ask any questions. I want the winning bidder to be very satisfied with the purchase, and I will be happy to give anyone any details I may have left out about the truck!!! |

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?
Wed, Mar 9 2016You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names
2015 Chevrolet Trax
Thu, Dec 4 2014After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.
