1979 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale Pickup 4x4. 21k Original Miles! Nice Truck! on 2040-cars
Pontiac, Illinois, United States
|
Up for bid is a beautiful classic Chevy truck. Its a 1979 K10 Scottsdale with 21,251 miles on it! This truck was a barn find from a nearby town. The young man had it handed down to him from his grandparents where it sat in a barn for several years and he was moving to California so he had to sell it. The part that really sucks is that he took the original carburetor off and replaced it with an edelbrock. Along with a open air breather. It has a brand new msd cap and rotor, along with new napa plug wires and A/C Delco spark plugs. Other than those few things this truck is as far as i know all original. I have the original wheels and tires that are not pictured but i can post them at a later time. I have these nicer aluminum wheels on it now that came from an 85 chevy 4x4 from the factory. This truck runs good. It has electric choke. The transmission shifts flawlessly. Everything works. It has ice cold air conditioning that has recently been converted to R134. Their was nothing wrong with it, it worked perfect with the R12 we just updated it to R134. Heat and defrost work perfect as well. The truck has a newer pioneer cd player with usb and audio in ports. This trucks runs down the road very nice. Everything is nice and tight no play in the wheel. Its like driving a brand new 79 Chevy. The brakes work very well, can stop on a dime. The interior is in very good shape. The dash and gauges are flawless. no rips or scratches in seat. The exterior of the truck is in good shape for the age. Very shiny yet but starting to thin out in areas. Their is also some surface rust. All the panels are rock solid. A paint job wouldn't hurt. The bed is in awesome shape until you get to the tailgate area where their are two rust holes that would need patched and painted (see pics). The hood is beautiful, very glossy and shiny blue but has some rust showing through in the very front. (See pics). The whole truck is beautiful! I cant go anywhere without being stopped or getting compliments everywhere i go. Heads turn every where this thing goes. Newer 31 inch tires that are about 75% tread left or better. This truck sounds good but not loud. Just a single exhaust pipe with a flowmaster muffler. The four wheel drive shifter works perfect in all settings. You must see this truck to appreciate. You can e mail me for more pics and questions. The only reason im selling is because i have to many toys! I dont have to sell but if the price is right i will. I can guarantee you wont find another one like it. So good luck bidding! The truck is local pick up only, no shipping. Sold as is with no warranty. Thanks for looking. Jason.

Chevy Volt replacement battery cost varies wildly, up to $34,000
Fri, Jan 10 2014There's a growing hubbub in the plug-in vehicle community over what looks like some ridiculously cheap replacement batteries for the Chevrolet Volt going up for sale. GM Parts Online, for example, is selling a replacement Volt battery with an MSRP of $2,994.64 but, with an online discount, the price comes down to $2,305.88. For the 16-kWh pack in the 2012 Volt, that comes to a very low $144.11 per kilowatt hour (kWH). But is it a real deal? How can it be, when a Chevy dealer may quote you a price of up to $34,000 to replace the pack? For a 16-kWh Volt pack, $2,305.88 comes to a very low $144.11 per kWh. But is it a real deal? Battery packs in alternative propulsion vehicles are usually priced by the kWh and, historically, they've been thought to be in the range of $500-per-kWh for OEM offerings. Since automakers are understandably secretive about their costs, we still don't know what the real number is today, but we do know it varies by automaker. Tesla, for example, has said it pays less than $200-per-kWH at the cell level but, of course, a constructed pack would be more. Whatever is going on, li-ion battery prices are trending downward. So, $144.11 certainly sounds great, but what's the story here? Kevin Kelly, manager of electrification technology communications for General Motors, reminded AutoblogGreen that GM Parts Online is not the official GM parts website and that, "the costs indicated on the site are not what we would charge our dealers or owners for a replacement battery. There would be no cost to the Volt owner if their battery needs replacement or repair while the battery is under the eight year/100,000 mile limited warranty coverage provided by Chevrolet." A single price tag also can't be accurate for everyone, Kelly said. "If the customer needs to have their battery repaired beyond the warranty, the cost to them would vary depending on what needs to be replaced or repaired (i.e. number of modules, which specific internal components need replacement, etc.)." he said. "So, it's hard for us to tell you exactly what the cost would be to the customer because it varies depending on what might need to be repaired/replaced. As a result, the core charge would vary." But, is the $2,300 price even accurate for anyone? Thanks to a reader comment, we see that this similar item on New GM Parts makes it look like the lithium-ion modules that Kelly mentioned – where a lot of the expensive bits are – are not included.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
