Cape Girardeau, Missouri, United States

WELL, HERE IT IS, ONE OF THE COOLEST AND UNIQUE TRUCKS IVE EVER OWNED IS UP FOR SALE. ITS A 1971 CHEVY C10 2WD PICKUP THAT HAS BEEN TOTALLY REWORKED FROM THE GROUND UP. ILL START BY SAYING THIS TRUCK IS NO THROWN TOGETHER CHEAP BUILD. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN DONE RIGHT PROFESSIONALLY AND ONLY WITH HIGH END PARTS. I HAVE A THICK BINDER FULL OF EVERYTHING DONE TO THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO AND THE TRUCK WAS MATTE BLACK AND HAD ALREADY RECEIVED THE 5.3 LS MOTOR AND 4L60E TRANSMISSION SWAP OUT OF A NEWER TAHOE, AS WELL AS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS USING CPP PARTS, AND THE FUEL TANK HAD BEEN MOVED TO THE REAR BELOW THE BED WITH A CUSTOM FILLER IN THE BED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD INSTALLED THE 69-70 GRILL, WHICH I LIKED, SO I KEPT IT ON. I QUICKLY MADE UP MY MIND THAT I WANTED TO GO WITH A PATINA PAINT JOB. IT TOOK ME WEEKS OF SANDING AND TWEAKING TO GET THE RIGHT LOOK I WAS GOING AFTER AND THEN HAD A PAINT SHOP SPRAY A COAT OF SATIN CLEAR OVER THE WHOLE BODY OF THE TRUCK. THEN I ADDED THE BODY SIDE MOLDINGS TO FINISH OFF THE "FACTORY" OLD LOOK I WAS GOING FOR. AFTER GETTING THE EXTERIOR ALL LINED OUT I MOVED TO THE INTERIOR. THE POWERED BUCKET SEATS WERE ALREADY IN THE TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT IT BUT THEY WERE A GRAY CLOTH, WHICH I DIDNT REALLY CARE FOR TO MUCH. SO, I HAD THEM REUPHOLSTERED IN BLACK LEATHER WITH HOUNDSTOOTH INSERTS. I PUT IN NEW BLACK CARPET AND A SET OF LMC KICK PANELS. THEN I TOOK IT TO A STEREO SHOP AND THEY INSTALLED A KILLER SOUND SYSTEM. I THEN REALIZED THIS TRUCK WAS GOING TO NEED AC, SO I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED THE NEWEST VINTAGE AIR SETUP. I FINISHED UP THE INTERIOR AND JUST ENJOYED THE TRUCK. ITS A BLAST TO DRIVE WHETHER ITS IN TOWN OR ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75 MPH. EVERYTHING WORKS ON THE TRUCK, INCLUDING ALL LIGHTS AND CUSTOM CARBON FIBER GAUGES. THE TIRES ARE LIKE NEW AND THE WHEELS ARE BLACK POWDERCOATED STEEL WHEELS. THE MOTOR HAS AN LS6 CAM WITH CHROME HEADERS WHICH MAKES FOR A KILLER SOUND. I CANT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT SOMEONE COMING UP TO ME ASKING ABOUT THE TRUCK. I WILL DEFINITELY MISS THIS TRUCK WHEN ITS GONE BUT I JUST BOUGHT MY NEWEST PROJECT, A 1969 CHEVY C10 SHORT BED 4X4, SO UNFORTUNATELY THIS ONE HAS TO GO.
GIVE ME A CALL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. I WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY OTHER PICTURES OF EVEN A VIDEO FOR SERIOUS BUYERS. MY NUMBER IS 573-587-1159 |

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015!

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our 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.
