1987 Chevy S10 V8 Conversion NO RESERVE !        It has a 350 V8 and a Turbo 350 Trans.                                 Great Father/Son Project or Weekend Wrench Guy.....Cheap Fun...No Reserve !

This was a running and driving truck. I have had all different cars, some big buck ones but this car was a blast...Just Cool
This thing was a rocket......  (Some of the best fun I had since I was a kid) "LIKE THE OLD DAYS" without the worries of a 6,000 paint job or a frame off restoration... 

About 5 months ago the engine broke. I have no idea what happened, I went to start it one day and it would not crank right, Then the oil came out of the breather as I was cranking it and then it wouldn't even do that. So I think its safe to say its (Broke Bad). I have had zero time to fix it. Thought I would thats why I kept it this long (but it isn't happening) time to sell :( 

The rest of it I will try to describe as best as I can....


The Good news:

 The V8 Conversion is already done and been tested. 
 This truck is fast and mean when running, its got the sick flowmaster tone and the turbo 350 shifted great. 
 I kept the stock serpentine system. The blinkers work, the power steering works, I never tested the heat (FLA) but I pretty sure it works too.
 ( Its just a swap over or fix to get this baby rolling again).
  Carb,Cam, Headers, alum. radiator, electric fans, full flowmaster exhaust all the way to the back,
  Full Autometer gauges (and they all work including gas gauge and speedo are all hooked up already)
  Interior is pretty nice, the little fold out seats are cool and mint. Custom Dash plus all covers under hood etc. and I am sure I forgot something.
 
 This truck is very soild and is not rotted out or nothing.
 This truck drives nice and tight/ there were no crazy rattles and goes straight as an arrow.   

 All the nickel and dime stuff that you will need to start from scratch on a base project........$$

 The Bad News:
  
 (Besides the internals in the engine) The clearcoat is peeling most on the hood and roof. Picture This ( Hot Rod Black on Hood Roof and both front fenders for a paint layout and leave it  from the doors  back blue.) or something cool like that......That was my plan...
 Some little dents, the worst is the top of front fender (pass side) and the back driver side corner and driver tail light got cracked. (backed the boat into it.. ouch),  but I have a good set of stockers that  come with it). There is a tear in the driver seat base. The front bumper is tacked to the frame rails because somebody at one point damaged the tips where it connects (Bumper looks Ok) (SEE PIC)  
 The radio is not connected only because I never did the final cover on the custom console. The a/c is there, it just needs a couple of parts to get that working too.
 I had z28 camaro wheels on it (Sorry their on my other car now) So I put the stock wheels back on it to get it around. (SLEEPER?) If you decide to keep these on here, you will need tires.


 Yes, this truck needs some stuff but it is an easy project without all the guess work, (Just the fun we knew on these NO BRAINER BULIDS) and I hope some of the younger guys are still getting into  this  "Great Hobby" as well. 

 Plus save some money, LOTS OF VALUE IN PARTS HERE and have some fun in the process. 
 Its not a 30 grand car.....Fix the motor/ Slap on some Primer and have a blast without the big bucks that never get done anyway....
 Its one of those cars...( IS THAT NOT WHAT THIS IS ALL SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT ANYWAY?)
 
 This auction is budget minded for someone who really wants it and does not have a lot to spend, that wants something thats to cool and complete to part out...... (The price is what the metals worth)
 NO RESERVE..........
 
If you are coming to get it or have it picked up I will of course help the driver get it loaded on the hauler anyway I can. It will need to be picked up in Port St. Lucie FLA. (about 45mins from West Palm Beach) 


                                                 .........Thanks !!






 The Item is described to the best of my knowledge and is used and therefore is sold as is and I have the right to end the auction early due to local sale.
 Item will not ship until full payment is clear.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.
