1985 Chevy Silverado C10 Short Bed V8 Automatic Original 85 Chevrolet 305 350 on 2040-cars
Bassett, Virginia, United States
1985 Chevy Silverado, C10, Short Bed, Fleet Side, Basically an all original rust free truck (garage kept). The only thing that isn't original is the front spoiler, its a few inches wider than stock which I think looks better. Also, I had new exhaust put on it with 2.5" pipe and a 40 series flowmasters with duals turned down behind the rear tire (sounds good). The original engine (305) has been rebuilt to stock specs and has less than 20k miles on the engine. I just put a new refurbished carburetor on it. I wanted to keep it original, so I bought a refurbished carburetor like what came on it from the factory (these carburetors are expensive). This truck has the original paint with some minor scratches but overall remarkable condition to be a 30 year old truck. Does have tilt, cruise control, power steering, power windows, power disc brakes and power door locks which all work as they should and the clock still works. Inside the bed and the entire undercarriage is in amazing condition as well. Its obvious this truck wasn't used for a truck because it rarely hauled anything. This truck has air conditioning but was discharged when the engine was rebuilt and never recharged the system which was about four years ago. The entire truck inside and out is remarkably clean including the engine bay. The entire cooling system has been flushed and just replaced the antifreeze. The oil change has approx. 35 miles on it right now. Truck still has the factory truck rallies but will need tires soon. The headliner kept falling down so I just removed it. Once again this truck is rust free and almost as original as you can get. Runs and handles great and there are NO leaks of any kind. I can deliver to the east coast region at an agreed upon price. If you want me to deliver it must be discussed before the end of auction.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
