up for grabs is a neat old 1965 Chevrolet C-10 (1/2 ton) that came from the factory fairly rarely equipped in that it still has its #'s matching original 283 V8 and is a factory automatic, and it has the rarer and more highly sought after big rear window and is a Custom Cab truck. It is a longbed but it had a camper on it most of its life so the bed is in rare beautiful shape w/ most of the wood still in it, perfect undented inside panels and a perfect tailgate. This truck has an uncut radio hole with the original AM radio still in it, and no rust above the visors or outside the cab roof which is hard to find on a big window truck. Some kids had the truck for a while and they took the camper off and removed the original 2bbl intake and carb in favor of an aluminum intake, and when the truck was sold they kept the carb, so it needs a carb to run. Needs a radiator put back in it too. Everything else is there and will be easy to get running again. Was last driven approx 5 yrs ago. Details below. Call with questions 256 486 1988


The GOOD: The bed is in unusually nice shape and has a perfect tailgate and inner box. The truck is a Custom Cab so it has all the cool chrome stuff and aluminum grille. The 283 V8 is said to run well and has the ultra-rare "WE" suffix code which denotes it as a correct 65 truck 283 w/ Powerglide trans. Has the original factory V8 rear end. Has no rust through in the roof or inside above the visors. All glass is good and back window is factory "Soft Ray" Tinted glass (very rare). The radio hole is uncut and the original radio is still in it. The whole truck is very straight with only 1 paintjob largely sprayed directly over the factory red paint. Has the rarer deluxe guage package instead of idiot lights. rust in the cab floor along the sill plates is normal and will not be too bad to fix. 

The BAD: The cab needs what is called "outer cab floor" patch panels (see LMC truck, Jim Carter or other aftermarket catalog) inner and outer rockers and the front cab support on the drivers side all replaced. Needs minor rust repair to the hood's nose towards the pass side park light and pass side rear support area. Some of the bed wood is rotted out. Truck needs a carburator, tune up parts and a radiator to run. Will certainly need a brake job too. Needs rust repair to both front fenders and some average door bottom repair. Has a thin area of bondo (not thick or reconstructive) on the drivers qtr behind the wheel opening - otherwise appears to be 99% bondo free. This was used to smooth a light dent - when you feel behind it you can feel no dents or serious damage - very straight actually. 

Look at the pictures and I think you will see this truck is begging for a restoration and will make someone a very beautiful truck for a lot less cost than a lot of poorer condition trucks you see like it for this price range. Call Steve 256 486 1988 to come see it or ask questions....

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index

Mon, Oct 10 2016

While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
