Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

This restored modified pickup is like new in condition, and has all the performance parts one could ever want in a classic short bed Chevy pickup. has been in the family for many years now and it is sad for us to let it go, but we want to move on to other projects. All of the top brand name after market parts are second to none, and there was no expense sparred on any parts. Having the best of both old and new was the theme of this truck, and I believe that it was accomplished tastefully well! The 383 stroker motor has been driven 1000 miles since it was built. It has a Victor Jr. air-gap intake manifold feeding air into the aluminum Elderbrock aluminum heads. The 750 dual line double pumper Holley four-barrel carburetor provides the juice to the cam out stroker motor The automatic transmission is a B&M quick shift type four speed automatic in the floor backed up with a 350 Turbo with 3.73 gears in a 12-Bolt rear end! The transmission is a fresh rebuild with high performance components with a 2800 stall street/strip converter that can handle a massive 650 horsepower!The exhaust flow through Hooker Super Competition Headers that feed to Flowmaster exhaust! The sound of the stroked out small block is second to none! The MSD ignition and high spark coils definitely get the motor up and firing quickly.The battery is a red top Optima battery that was bought just a few months back. The starter is brand new, the door sills, the door weather-stripping is new along with the door handles, the arm rests, and door locks. All of the emblems are brand new or are like new in condition. The front brake rotors are cross-drilled and slotted and are brand new along with the wind shield wipers. It does have power steering and brakes! The BF Goodrich tires barely have 1000 miles on them, and the trim rings are brand new stainless steel, triple dipped in chrome! The Alpine speakers work well with the Sony classic cassette player for listening to your favorite old school tunes. The truck has all of the original air conditioning ducts but we have chosen not to have the compressor for it deletes the horsepower potential of the motor. This is probably one of the fastest yet classic C10 short beds on the market for sale in America. Feel free to email me any questions of concerns about the truck, and I will respond to them as soon as possible.  Serious buyers only please! I will not sell to anyone who hasn't done business with eBay before i.e. you have a 0 feedback score! Sorry no false buyers on this one! Like you see this is one of one!...

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

Junkyard Gem: 1985 Chevrolet Sprint

Thu, May 21 2020

For in the 1985 model year, General Motors began selling Chevrolet-badged Suzuki Cultus hatchbacks in California. Sales of the cheap three-cylinder econobox in the rest of North America followed soon after (with the Canadian version known as the Pontiac Firefly), and did pretty well considering the crash in gasoline prices during the middle 1980s. Starting in 1988, the facelifted Sprint became the Geo (and, later on, Chevrolet) Metro. Here's one of the very first Cultuses sold on our shores, found in a San Francisco Bay Area car graveyard. Amazingly, the primitive rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet Chevette remained available all the way through 1987, competing with the thriftier front-wheel-drive Sprint in the same showrooms. For 1988, Pontiac started selling a rebadged Daewoo LeMans, so the Sprint/Metro never lacked for intra-corporate competition. Inside, you'll find the same stuff most mid-1980s Japanese econoboxes got: tough cloth upholstery and long-wearing hard plastics. Suzuki quality in 1985 wasn't quite up to Honda or Toyota levels, but you weren't paying Honda or Toyota prices for the Sprint. MSRP on this car started at $4,949, or about $12,000 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible 1985 Chevette cost $5,340, while a new no-frills Ford Escort would set you back $5,620. Subaru, however, could have put you in a punitively unappointed base-model Leone hatchback for just 40 bucks more than the Sprint that year. I think I'd have sprung the extra for a $5,348 Toyota Tercel, a $5,195 Mazda GLC, or— best cheap-commuter deal of all that year— the $5,399 Honda Civic 1300 hatchback. I was 19 years old and driving a Competition Orange 1968 Mercury Cyclone that year, and I recall feeling pity for Chevy Sprint drivers, new-car smell or not. Still, these weren't bad cars for the price, though a Sprint with an automatic transmission was a real character-builder. Got three cylinders and uses 'em all! 48 horsepower from this hemi-headed SOHC 1-liter. The Turbo Sprint — yes, such a car existed — had a howling 70 horsepower. The hood-latch release is a rectangular button that resembles a badge. 1985 Chevy Sprint Commercial The highest-mileage, lowest-priced car you can buy. 1985 holden barina commercial The Australian-market version was the Holden Barina, and the TV ads featured the Road Runner. 1983 SUZUKI CULTUS Ad In its homeland, this car got screaming guitars and a drive through New York City for its TV commercials.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
