* 1978 Chevrolet C-10 Fleetside Pickup * * Cheyenne BIG-10 * Before you and up for bid is my 1978 Chevrolet C-10 "BIG10" 2WD Fleetside pickup. The ownership history & particulars on the truck are as follows: * In the family since new. On 9/22/77, Harry & Elizabeth Larsen traveled the short distance from their home in Arlington, S.D. to Anderson Chevrolet in De Smet, S.D., to take delivery of their new 1978 Chevy C-10 pickup truck. The truck had been specially ordered earlier that summer. Arlington and De Smet are both rural farming communities in the southeastern S.D. For those literarily familiar, yes, De Smet is the town where Laura Ingalls Wilder was raised, and the subject location for five of her books including "Little Town on the Prairie", which reflect upon her childhood there. * A one rancher owner, garaged & pampered, non-smoker, no accident history pickup truck. * Only 50,654 actual miles! * Ordered with 24 options, they are as follows: * A28 Sliding rear window * E63 Fleetside Box * LS9 V8 engine 350 CID w/4 bbl carb * N33 Comfort tilt steering wheel * PO1 Bright Wheel Trim Covers * UF2 Cargo Lamp * Z53 Gauge Pkg * Z84 Cheyenne Pkg * A01 Soft-Ray Tinted Glass * C60 All Weather Air Conditioning * F44 Heavy Duty Chassis * MX1 Auto Transmission * NL2 Auxillary Fuel Tank * N41 Power Steering * UA1 HD Delco 4000 Watt Battery * U63 AM Pushbutton Radio * U76 Windshield Antenna * ZY4 Deluxe Two Tone Paint * 64D Buckskin Woven Fabric * V46 Chrome Front Bumper * XLD, YLD, ZLD L78-15 Front, Rear & Spare tires. * The BIG-10 model is a versatile heavy duty workhorse, (6200 GVWR) what distinguished it was the massive girder beam front suspension (3400 lb capacity) heavy duty front coils, heavy duty rear leaf springs, heavy duty front disc/rear drum brake system with power assist. BIG-10's also operated on either lead-free or regular gasoline. Having only been driven slightly more than 50K miles over the course of 36 years, the 350 V8 runs very well. There are absolutely NO annoying drips or leaks. The TH350 transitions smoothly through its upshifts, and goes easily into reverse. The truck is essentially a solid rust free example, (NO salt or winter corrosives)there is light stone chipping at the lower corners at the front of the bed, (see pics) this adds to the truck's patina. This is an original "survivor" truck, it has not been restored. The Cordova brown paint is factory original to the truck, it is deep metallic root beer in color that still has a nice finish to it. (see pic to illustrate reflection) The white on the sides have been resprayed, the trim was removed prior to doing so. The interior rates a 9.5. The upholstery is near perfect, as the seats were always covered. The carpet are in great shape with no heel wear. The original cab length vinyl floor mat is present. The door panels are in great condition, no dents to the Cheyenne package aluminum inserts. Nice kick panels. All gauges are fully functional. No steering wheel cracks. Perfect headliner and sun visors. Perfect dash, there are NO cracks or warps. All safety features, lights, wipers, horn, directionals, emergency flashers, etc. are fully operational. The factory AM radio still plays well. The truck is equipped with factory AC, though it is not blowing cold. I checked into a new compressor, they are approximately $160.00. The system would necessitate retrofitting to 134 refrigerant. Excellent heater/defroster. All original glass, the windshield still displays the 1978 state inspection sticker. It had 2 small chips which were resin filled, neither chip is in the drivers field of vision. The windows roll up & down properly. All weatherstripping is soft and pliable, the window brows are in good condition. Power steering Nice grill Nice chrome front bumper, NO pits, flaking or rust. Recent service includes new belt(s), hoses, fresh fluids, a brake service and 4 new Hankook 235/70-15 all season tires, (under 10 miles) and alignment. The factory original full size Dayton spare is present, while it holds air and is not dry rotted, I would not rely upon it. The bottle jack and tire tool are in their factory provision under the hood. Dual fuel tanks, the switch over works fine. The 8' bed is in great shape showing only light scuff wear, the tailgate opens and closes properly, and the cargo lamp works. The truck is wired with a period correct brake controller. All original keys, owners manual, warranty book, assorted operational pamphlets, purchase titling contract, build sheet and the original sales brochure will accompany the sale of the truck. At 36 years of age, the C-10 looks, runs and drives great! It is a very solid and tight truck. It goes down the road effortlessly, and stops accordingly. It has the power to accelerate, when needed. You are bidding to purchase the C-10, not to be the first to look at it. Inspections are welcomed and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. Thank you. Please have your funding in place prior to placing your bid. Thank you. Please consult with your spouse, therapist, pet or Magic 8-Ball prior to placing your bid, as I am not running a clinic for the confused. Thank you. I have set a reasonable and fair reserve for the C-10. It is commensurate with the condition of the truck, the care it has received, the ownership history, and the very low miles. Do NOT ask me what the reserve is, as I will not disclose it. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the "survivor" 1978 Chevy C-10 Fleetside BIG-10 Cheyenne pickup truck, that you see before you. A $1000.00 initial payment is due within 24 hours of auction close VIA PayPal. The balance is then due and payable within 7 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer that the balance be paid VIA a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. I will accept PayPal for the entire purchase ONLY if the buyer pays ALL PayPal related fees including the initial payment. Cash in person upon arrival is also acceptable for the balance. If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback, less than 10 eBay transactions, or excessive negative feedback, you will need to CALL ME prior to submitting your bid to express your intentions, otherwise your bid will be cancelled, and you will be blocked from further bidding. This guideline is in place due to disingenuous bidders that place bids, win auctions, and then fail to fulfill their purchase commitment(s). Thank you. If you cannot or will not abide by any of these simple terms, please do not bid. I am a legitimate seller simply seeking a legitimate buyer. Thank you. Transportation and or delivery is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Trailered delivery is possible within the lower 48 states for $1000.00. (non-negotiable) I can also recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. If you make your own arrangements, I will assist in coordinating with your chosen shipper. The truck and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. If you choose to fly in and drive home, I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. While I am confident that the truck could be driven home safely to anywhere in America, bear in mind that it is a 36 year old truck and as such, the pragmatic approach would be to ship it. Also given the age of the truck, it is understood by the buyer that it is being sold in "as is" condition, with no expressed, written or implied warranties. I strive to thoroughly represent a vehicle honestly and accurately. Those that have purchased my vehicles are consistantly pleased, with expectations exceeded. Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. This is a relatively inexpensive truck that most anyone can afford and enjoy for many years to come. To those interested, yes, the truck is "EMP proof". Clear Colorado title in my name. I am not a dealer. I am a collector hobbyist that is eager to commence on a project that necessitates the space presently occupied by the Chevy. The truck and title will not be released until full payment has been received. Ebay only provides for 24 pictures. I have chosen pictures that best present a concise overview of the truck. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me directly and present your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave a message, and I will return your call promptly. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid! Jeff (719)-492-1234, c

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon
Thu, Sep 22 2022If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.
Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary
Sun, May 10 2020After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.  Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown
Wed, Jan 29 2014They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.
