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.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt

Mon, Jan 13 2014

At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012. We expect our readers have similar stories they'd like to share in the Comments.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our 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.
