 This is a 92 S-10 with a GM Ramjet 350 crate motor, 5 speed stick, Posi Rear, Air Ride Suspension, A/C, etc....  It is a previous show truck, that has a lot of money spent on it. Excuse the long description, but i want you to know what you are buying.  Even if you were to just use the frame, suspension, and drive train, to make a street rod, it is worth the asking price. A lot of street rods are being built on S-10 chassis's. Some companies are building bodies to fit directly on a S-10 chassis.  Such as Superior glass works.  They are building 37-38 Chevy Cabriolet and Sedan delivery bodies that are a direct fit.  Check out the superiorglassworks website.  Also see the last picture.
I bought this truck in New Hampshire almost a year ago.  My plan was to paint it a solid color and make it a cruise night, nice day driver vehicle. Time constraints and needing money for home improvements, meant I never got to it.  This isn't my only project vehicle.  I am selling the truck as I got it.  I  have all the New Hampshire paperwork for the truck.  I never registered it in NY.
 I have a carfax for the truck.  Yes the truck has a lot of miles on the carfax. 255,000  But the truck has been completely rebuilt.  This truck was chosen because it  was a clean, accident free, rust free, Texas truck. The truck went from Texas to New Hamshire in 2005. The GM ramjet 350 crate motor didn't come out until 2006.  The truck hasn't had that many miles put on it since the drive train, motor, suspension, etc... was replaced. Over 90% of the mileage was put on it in Texas, when it was a stock truck.

Engine:   GM Ram Jet 350 Crate Motor  listed for $5834.97 in the Summit Catalog.  It puts out 350 hp at 5200 rpm and 400 ft/lbs torque at 3500 rpm. A Ramjet 350 service manual is included.

Body:     Rust free, dent free, except for the damage to the hood and roof from the hood flying  up on previous owner. Shaved door handles. The poppers don't work with the remote.  They probably need to be replaced. Because it was a Texas truck, the rockers and floors are spotless (see pictures)    There are a few paint chips around the doors.  Passenger side mirror is cracked. The back wall of the cab was modified to fit a sub woofer and amp.  The front wall of the bed was cut out and re-welded in on a slant to clear the cab wall modifications. (see pics)  The rear roll pan is welded in and the license plate drops down with an electric motor. The tailgate handle is shaved and flipped to the inside of the tailgate. ( I have a set of clean stock doors available at extra cost if you want them )

Audio:     It has an Alpine CDA-9883 MP3/WMA/AAC receiver and CD player in the dash.  It has two speakers in the kick panels.  The back wall of the cab had two square holes cut in it. (see pics)  Two metal boxes, were welded in, to house the amplifier and sub woofer.  (The sub woofer was missing when I bought the truck.)  The amplifier is an Alpine V/12. The antenna hole was shaved on the fender and the antenna is above the rear view mirror on the windshield.

Exhaust:  It has stainless exhaust from the headers back. (see pics) There are two pipes running from the headers to the cats. Then two cats running in to one large muffler.  Then there are two pipes exiting the muffler than come out in front of the passenger side rear wheel.  The headers are Headmans.  They are uncoated, but are solid with just surface rust.

Trans and Rear:  It's a  Borg Warner 5 speed. I'm not sure which exact model. The rear is a posi.  The drive shaft spins about 3 1/2 rotations for one full rotation of the wheel. Which would work out to be a 3:50 ratio. That's just an approximation. Not 100% accurate.

Interior:  Nice shape.  Tilt steering column. Headliner is good.  Door panels good. Power windows.  Bench seat good.  Dash pad no cracks.  It's a comfortable truck.  I'm 6'5" and fit comfortably with the seat all the way back and the wheel tilted up.

Wheels and Tires :  20 inch Boss wheels and 245/35 ZR20 95W Toyo Proxes 4 tires with good tread.  Since I'm over 50 these wheels didn't appeal to me.  I have a 17" set of American Racing Salt Flat rims and tires I was going to use.  They are available at an extra cost.

Suspension:  A lot of money spent here.  Complete suspension replacement with tubular front upper + lower control arms. Dropped spindles.  4 link rear suspension. It's a Ride Tech system.    The front lower control arms are $600. Uppers are $400. Spindles $300. Four link rear suspension $1200. Shock wave shocks at least $700 a pair, depending on options.  It looks like it has the $1000 analog 4 way  air control system.  The other systems available are more expensive. (I'm not 100% sure, this is the first air ride vehicle I have owned) There is a leak somewhere on the front suspension.  Both front shocks leak down in about a 1/2 hour. i would think it would have to be a line or a valve, not a shock, because both sides go down, not one.  The rear shocks stay up for days.  If you wanted to run this truck with regular coil/leaf lowered suspension, you could sell all this off and recoup some of your investment. Check out the ridetech website and price these parts out.  Also see the picture of the ridetech website.  $5000 worth of parts.

Glass:  All glass is good.  New windshield. Sliding back window.

Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application

Fri, Dec 26 2014

In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.

eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Chevy 1500 454 SS with just 7 miles

Sun, Jan 4 2015

When trawling the classifieds either on a buying mission or merely a time-wasting mission, we spend a lot of time poring over photographs comparing the seller's idea of "Like New!" with our idea of it. It's hard to argue with seven original miles on the odometer, though, which is what this 1990 Chevrolet 1500 454 SS has. It's being sold by Country Chevrolet on eBay, the same dealer who sold the truck to its one and only owner 25 years ago. The purchaser bought two of them and left this one in a garage under a car cover, said garage being less than seven miles away from the showroom floor. Better yet, you can buy with confidence because the seller "has collected all records," which we expect would be the slimmest manilla folder in the history of receipt-keeping. For those unfamiliar, the 454 SS was a half-ton, regular cab, 2WD pickup powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) V8 with 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque shifting through a three-speed transmission. This was at the same time the Chevrolet Corvette used a 5.7-liter V8 producing 250 hp and 350 lb-ft. The pickup rode on exclusive wheels and only came in black with red cloth inside. The only extra-cost option on this example is an $18 locking fuel filler cap, which, according to the 454ss forum, means it should have cost about $18,460 out the door, the equivalent of about $34,000 today. At the time of writing there are zero bids, but proceedings open at $45,000 and Country Chevrolet wants $49,000 if you have to have your time capsule right now.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
