LONG BED"

I just recently acquired this truck and was going to restore it to its former glory. Actually, I was going to slam it on the ground and put a new red paintjob on it and a set of wheels. Then I was going to ask alot more for it. I found another project that I want to tackle so this one has to go. I will be listing this for one week, after that, I will start restoring it and doing what I previously stated. During this week it is on ebay, I will be taking parts off it and preparing it for paint, taking out dents, etc. If it does not sell after the week, I will continue. If it does sell, some of the dings and dents will be pulled, filled (if need be), and primered with a 2k primer. So some of the work will be done for you. If you do buy this truck and want me to restore it for you, I can do that as well, but the price for that will be determined after I get paid for the truck. I have been restoring vehicles for over 20 years.


This is a 85 C10 chevrolet truck from florida, which means very little rust. It has the original 305 v8 with only 84k miles on it. It runs and drives great. I have been driving it all over the place this week. It is a standard cab, long bed. It has a CD player. the air conditioning was taken off prior to me owning it, but I did get the lines and compressor from the previous owner. It has power steering, power brakes, power locks, power windows. Everything on the truck works, except the a/c as previously mentioned. 

THE BODY: Has a few dings and dents. Both bedsides have a large dent at the back of the bed, but a good bodyman could get them out, and I may get to those prior to the end of auction.  There are some smaller ones on one door and the hood. As far as rust is concerned, the only spot is on the passenger cab corner, and it is only on the outer, not inner. these truck were known for rotting out, so to find one this rust free, is awesome. 

THE DRIVETRAIN: Everything is completely stock. it is a 305 V8, with an automatic transmission. Both work great. 

What it needs: Other than bodywork and paint, the truck could use a tuneup. It doesn't run bad, it just looks like it hasn't been done in awhile. It also could use a set of tires. 

This truck would be awesome as a shop truck, if it wasn't for the dents, I would just clearcoat it and leave the patina the way it is, but I can't. So if you are interested, please bid. I have a set dollar, I want, which is not much over what I paid, but if it gets restored, the price will be alot higher, if I don't keep it as my own.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides

Sat, Apr 26 2014

In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
