Hello,
This is my 83' Chevy C-10 that I've had for a number of years now. My reason for selling is financial. I'm starting school in the fall, and the cost, not to mention this truck being a second vehicle, has forced me to sell. I'd love to keep it because it is a very fun truck to drive, and could easily become a functional daily drive for anyone interested. With that said, the truck is currently NOT RUNNING. There is an ignition issue involving the Accel distributor that's currently in the truck, so I've ordered a new one and my father (who helps me with the maintenance) and I will be putting it in before the conclusion of this auction. I will keep this posting updated with details about the progress of that repair. Now to the fun part. This truck has a loooong list of aftermarket parts that have been incorporated. The engine was out of a 96' Chevy Silverado (Vortec, throttle body w/ Vortec cast iron heads), which we had machined. This is to include a three angle valve job on the Vortec heads. The lower end includes a Scat crank, Kieth Black pistons, Melling oil pump, and a Milodon oil pan. The entire top end was outfitted with new parts, and included a Comp hydraulic roller cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, Holly 600 CFM carb. I'd estimate that the engine has around 2,000 miles on it. When the distributor wasn't having issues, we were also having issues getting the truck to idle down properly. This could probably be resolved with some carb tuning that is beyond my scope of mechanical ability. I'll also mention the aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock aluminum air filter cover, and Holley electric fuel pump that is mounted on the frame, near the driver side door. On the exhaust side of things, the truck has headers and dual exhaust that dumps right behind the rear axle (photograph of undercarriage shows this). The mufflers were a Flowmaster replica whose name I don't remember, and I've never been aware of the brand of headers. At idle the truck has a mild exhaust note, but when it's revved it really sounds good. An aggressive sound that isn't just a bunch of noise, but not incredibly loud like some of these guys are running. The transmission is a Saginaw four speed with a Hurst 4 speed shifter. I was never able to get the linkage just perfect, but the truck functionally shifts in to each gear. The clutch and flywheel (Lakewood) is also new. In regards to the body, the paint job is not perfect. The body has dings, scratches, orange peel, poor body work in different places. I've included photographs of the majority of these issues, but I might have overlooked some. I can say that the truck is completely rust free. Wheels and tires are Chevrolet rally wheels; 15x10, FireHawk Indy 500, P295/60 R15 on the rear, 15x8 Yokohama Avid S/T P235/60 R15. The tread is not great, but acceptable all the way around. The passenger's side front tire has a slow leak. The bed of the truck I did not photograph because it needs to be cleaned out, but it is painted in primer and has all the normal wear and tear of a 30+ year old truck bed. Inside the truck are a lot of new parts as well. The carpet, seat belts are both new, and the seat has been reapholstered, which alone cost me a little over 300 dollars. Outside of this, I've reused some old interior parts. The dash is badly cracked in a few places, and I've included a picture of this. The gauge cluster and steering well don't look perfect either. All the glass on the truck is crack free from what I've noticed, and crystal clear. There are some other noteworthy, small issues like how the glove compartment doesn't have a latch, the kicker panels haven't been replaced, the hood popper hasn't been remounted. As the auction progresses I will continue listing any issues that I feel are significant, but I think the important thing for potential bidders to keep in mind is the truck is by no means perfect. I know that doesn't make me sound like much of a salesman, but I want to be upfront so I don't have any issues post-transaction. I want to be transparent about the fact that this truck will need a little TLC here and there, but paired with the right owner could be a real joy and asset to someone's life. Happy bidding. Some additional details I forgot: -I do have a brand new, chrome rear bumper (photographed), but I do not have the mounting brackets or hardware. -The truck's odometer read 30,190 miles, but I am certain it has rolled over once so 130,190 miles. -There is no factory AC in the truck, but I have an aftermarket system that came with it that will be included in the sale. -The trim around the passenger door has a few missing pieces of hardware -Chipped paint at the top of the front windshield -Buyers are responsible for pickup -Cash or cashier's check payment methods will require verification of funds Thanks! |

Aston Martin DBX and the craziest car redesigns | Autoblog Podcast #716
Fri, Feb 11 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. They chat about slumming it in the Aston Martin DBX, the brand's first SUV, which they didn't have terribly high expectations for yet utterly blew them away. Riswick in particular notes it's one of the best cars he's ever driven, describing it as a family GT car. They then switch to a very different family vehicle: the 2022 Kia Carnival, and the unique second-row seating arrangement we've dubbed the "Captain Kirk chair." Greg has also been driving the Chevrolet Tahoe Premier. They also chat about two of Riswick's recent features: the 20 craziest car redesigns of the past 20 years and the best cars for snow. Autoblog Podcast #716 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown Cars we're driving Aston Martin DBX 2022 Kia Carnival 2022 Chevy Tahoe Features 20 craziest car redesigns of the last 20 years Best cars for snow Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

GM reportedly developing 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder
Mon, May 15 2023General Motors is allocating a massive amount of resources to developing electric technology, but it's not forgetting about the gasoline-powered cars that make up the bulk of its sales. It's reportedly designing a new 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine based on its 2.7. Citing "sources familiar with the matter," enthusiast website GM Authority wrote that the 2.5-liter four is "in [the] final stages of development," meaning it should be announced sooner rather than later (assuming the report is accurate). Technical details are few and far between as of writing. The publication learned that the 2.5 will be part of the Cylinder Set Strategy (CSS) family of engines and that it will be mechanically related to the 2.7-liter currently found in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, among several other models. It will feature dual overhead camshafts. It's too early to tell which models the 2.5-liter four-cylinder will end up in, or how much power it will generate. The output will likely depend on the application. For context, the 2.7 delivers 310 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 348 pound-feet of torque between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm in the Silverado. In the smaller Colorado, it provides anywhere between 237 and 310 horsepower depending on the trim level selected. While this is pure speculation, our crystal ball tells us the engine will end up powering crossovers. It's an easy deduction to make. We can't imagine it will be offered in the Silverado, and seeing it in the Colorado is unlikely because its entry-level engine develops 237 horsepower; there's likely not much of a market for a midsize truck with 200 or so horsepower. Putting it in the Corvette wouldn't make sense and the Camaro has nearly reached the end of its life cycle without a successor planned. This leaves us with Chevrolet's range of crossovers, like the Equinox, as well as their GMC-, Buick-, and Cadillac-branded counterparts. We're not discounting the possibility that the cars set to receive the 2.5 haven't been unveiled, but those are likely crossovers, too; the odds of seeing another big Chevy sedan are very, very low. General Motors hasn't commented on the report, and it hasn't publicly announced plans to expand its CSS family of engines. If the report is accurate, we should learn more about the new turbocharged, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine in the not-too-distant future.

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
