I'm selling my Chevy C10 short wheel base to help fund a Corvette project I'm working on.  This truck is in really good condition for it's age, even compared to some of the late-model used trucks I've looked at recently, take a look at the pic.s.

  • Truck has only been driven 6,020 miles since 2008 - very seldom used (was purchased in August of 2008 with 101,767 miles)
  • Truck has SBC 350 w/Holley 4-barrel carb and a very mild cam upgrade - tranny is the standard TH350 (auto), there seems to be a very small leak on the tranny and I believe it's the yoke seal.  I have a spot about the size of a quarter in my driveway from where it sat for a while.
  • Original engine was replaced by previous owner, work performed locally at a very reputable family-owned garage.  Engine was replaced at 92,533 miles, so the new engine only has 15K miles on it.
  • Rims & Tires where upgraded at 104,422 - roughly 3K miles on new tires.  Original Rally wheels are available if buyer would like them to be included in the sale price.  American Racing rims are 7" up front and 8" in the rear
  • Gas tank was replaced about 3 years ago due to old age
  • Mufflers where replaced due to old age around the same time as tank (truck has true dual exhaust to mufflers, has nice deep sound but not too loud or obnoxious)
  • Brakes are nice and firm
  • Power steering is very smooth, no whining or shuttering when rotating the wheel 
  • Interior is in really good condition; door panels look good, carpet looks good, no rot or rips, seat still looks good and sits good
  • Console still looks great, gauge cluster looks great and everything works (even the clock still works)
  • Radio was upgraded to a nice Pioneer CD/USB stereo with nice speakers behind seat (I think CD has a remote with it, should be in glove box)
  • Heater fan works, Defroster works, A/C doesn't blow cold
  • All of the glass is in good shape, nothing broken or chipped up - seals are all still tight
  • No rust around the back window (inside or outside)
  • No frame rust damage (see pics for underneath picture or bed and frame)
  • Chrome bumpers still look great
  • Exterior still looks pretty good - it's starting to show some clear peel on the hood and there is some rust starting to come through in a couple spots on the bottom of the doors and some small areas around the rockers - it's not riddled with holes or anything like that, just needs to be mentioned
  • Paint still looks pretty good overall - hasn't been buffed out in several years so there's a lot of gloss to be gained by someone that has the time

I'm open to reasonable offers, but please don't waste your time or mine sending me offers for 1/2 or 2/3 - the truck is for sale, not to be given away.  Obviously there are no warranties (expressed or implied, written or oral), truck is sold as-is.  I will not accept a return or provide any refund - no exceptions.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping expenses, I will help load onto transporter for free.  Truck comes with a free and clear title - title in-hand.

PAYMENT:
I require a small deposit of $300.00 to be paid via Paypal within 24 hours of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  Final payment is due within three (3) calendar days of purchase, no exceptions unless discussed and approved first.  If final payment is not made within three calendar days, then the deposit becomes my property and I retain the rights to re-list the truck or sell the truck at will.

By bidding, and/or making an offer, and/or purchasing this truck you are agreeing to the terms above.

Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever

Tue, Jun 3 2014

Chalk up a big win for the Nissan Leaf. In May, the world's most popular electric vehicle sold a record 3,117 units, the first time any pure electric vehicle has sold over 3,000 units in a month in the US (unless Tesla managed that feat but rolled the number into a quarterly report). This marks the 15th month in a row of record Leaf sales and the seventh where the Leaf was the top EV seller in the US. The challenge bar is set for someone to step up to compete with this all-electric wunderkind. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, in August 2013. The Leaf's one long-standing competitor, of a sort, is the Chevy Volt, which used to regularly outsell the Leaf but moved only 1,684 units in May. That's still an increase of 4.8 percent over 2013 but is part of a 4.5 percent decline in year-to-date Volt sales for 2014 compared to last year. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was October 2013. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, when it moved 3,351 in August 2013. Let's take another look at those 3,117 Leafs sold last month. They represent a 45.8 percent increase over May 2013, when 2,138 Leaf EVs were sold, so someone is doing something right in Japan and Tennessee. So far, Leaf sales in the US are up 36.4 percent year-to-date, to 10,389 EVs. That's just under half of the 2013 total, and it was accomplished in five months. In 2013, Nissan sold a total of 22,610 Leafs. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the total will be at the end of the year? As always, we'll have our detailed monthly sales write-up including other plug-in vehicles as well as hybrids and diesel car, up soon. For now, though, the big news is big Leaf sales. Read Nissan's press release below. Nissan Group reports May 2014 U.S. sales May 2014 May 2013 % Change Nissan Group Total sales (units) 135,934 114,457 +18.8 Nissan Division May sales 125,558 106,558 +17.8 Infiniti May sales* 10,376 7,899 +31.4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Group today announced total U.S. sales for May 2014 of 135,934 units, an increase of 18.8 percent over the prior year and a May record. Nissan highlights: Nissan Division set a May record at 125,558 sales in the month, an increase of 17.8 percent. This marks a monthly record for Nissan division in 14 of the last 15 months. May was the best-ever month for Nissan LEAF with 3,117 sales, an increase of 45.8 percent over the prior year. In May, LEAF passed 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch, further establishing it as the leader among electric vehicles.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
