Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The truck has some body damage consisting of a large dent on the passenger side of the tailgate, a medium sized dent above the wheel well on the passenger side of the bed, and some paint chipping on the lower corners of the bed/roll pan in the rear. The gas gauge doesn't work due to the use of a aftermarket fuel cell located in the bed. The ABS system was deleted to allow the front inner fenders to be cut in order to provide enough clearance of the tires to lay frame in the front. The emergency brake was deleted as it protruded below the frame to allow the truck to lay frame. The truck can be hard to start when it's cold due to the aftermarket fuel pump but it always starts after a few tries."

 I'm selling my custom 2000 Chevy S10 with the 4cyl 2.2l engine and 5 speed manual transmission. I just got the truck a couple months ago and I love it but I have to sell it for financial reasons otherwise i'd keep it. The truck was a project as most highly customized vehicles are so it needs some little things here and there to be 100% perfect but everything works and looks great as it sits. The truck has a high quality air bag suspension system that was professionally installed by the previous owner. The truck lays frame completely front and rear and looks awesome cruising down the road or layed out. This thing turns heads wherever it goes. It also has 18" chrome rims and the tires have about 60% tread left. Other custom work done to the truck includes a GMC Sonoma front end conversion with a more stylish bumper, grill, and headlights, a Chevy Blazer interior swap changing it from a bench seat to two buckets and a center console, an aftermarket 12 Gal fuel cell in the bed with a high flow inline fuel pump, a custom two tone red and black paint job with red metal flake throughout, relocated door handles to the bottom of the doors, a shaved gas door, a shaved tailgate handle, a black tonneau cover, smoked tail lights, and a Hurst T-handle shifter. The previous owner also did an electric radiator fan conversion which frees up some power and raises the gas mileage a bit. The aftermarket inline fuel pump makes the truck hard to start when it's cold so you'll have to crank it 3-5 times in the morning but it always starts. The suspension parts are all from Thorbecke Brothers, look them up they make the best parts for S10's. The front end has their tubular control arms and Airlift Dominator bags. The inner fender liners are cut to allow the truck to lay frame with 18" rims. The rear has their 5 link setup with frame notch, shocks, and Airlift Dominator bags for a high quality ride. There are 2 Viair 480C compressors hooked up to I think an 8 Gal tank in the bed. There are 8 valves for full FBSS control and a 10 switch control box in the cab that does FBSS, each corner independently, pancake, and see-saw. I believe the air line and valves are 1/2" as the truck raises and drops really fast. There are 3 air gauges in the a pillar on the drivers side for tank pressure and each bags pressure. The bad stuff is there are a couple dents, one on the passenger side of the bed above the wheel well and the passenger side of the tailgate is smashed in. The bed corners and edges of the roll pan in the back have a little cracked paint from the bed hitting the ground when dropping the truck. The gas gauge doesn't work because of the aftermarket fuel cell so I just use the trip meter when I fill up. The truck gets about 24 mpg. There is no emergency brake as the previous owner removed it because it hung below the frame and prevented the truck from laying completely. He also deleted the ABS module because it was located on the fender liner which needed to be cut in order to allow the tires to raise high enough to lay frame in the front. Other than that the truck runs and drives well. I just did a tune up (plugs and wires) and an oil change with Mobil 1 High Mileage synthetic as well as replaced the starter. The clutch grips well and the transmission shifts as it should, although the Hurst shifter is very tight and has a short throw so it takes some getting used to. The truck is overall a great summer toy and will get lots of attention wherever it goes. It's a blast to drive and with a little love it could be in perfect condition or just drive it as is and have fun.

Driving McLaren's Sports Car and 'The Best Corvette' at the M1 Concourse | AutoblogVR

Wed, Apr 12 2017

There's nothing better than a track day. Great cars on a great track are always great fun. Recently, we had the opportunity to check out the new M1 Concourse in Pontiac, MI, with two of the coolest cars in the game; a McLaren 570S and a Corvette Grand Sport. Driving the 570S was Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore, and he didn't hold back. Getting behind the wheel of the McLaren, Greg explains that although this is McLaren's idea of a sports car, "it's all relative." Topping out at 204 miles per hour with 562 horsepower, there's no two ways about it: this thing is a monster. While the 570S was fantastic, we had another sports car we wanted to drive and editor-in-chief Mike Austin was just the man for the job. Enter the Corvette Grand Sport. Mike pushed all 460 horses of the 'Vette to the limit and came away impressed with the car, even calling it "the best Corvette." Comparing it to its more powerful sibling, the Z06, Mike goes so far as to say the Z06 has too much power, while the Grand Sport seems to be the third bear's bowl of porridge in the Corvette family... It's just right. We captured all the action of the day with 360° cameras so you can feel like you're right there in the car sitting shotgun with us! You can check out the McLaren and Corvette laps above, but the best way to view them is through the AutoblogVR app, where you can watch the videos on your VR headset or in a nice swivel-y office chair so you can take in the sights all around you. Each month, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll be posting them here on Autoblog, but for the best experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

Recharge Wrap-up: Range-extended EV taxis in London, 2016 Chevy Volt interior two years old

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The first Metrocab range-extended EV taxis are operating on the streets of London. The cabs use a 12.2-kWh battery and two 50-kW motors, as well as a 1.0-liter gasoline range extender. Fuel economy is 98 MPGe on the ECE101 cycle, and total driving range is over 348 miles before needing to charge or refuel. Cabbies can expect to save GBP20 to GBP40 (about $30 to $60) per day on average. "The cash savings on fuel are significant, the ride and comfort outstanding, and my first customers are thrilled with the new cab," says the first operator of the new EV taxi, Preston Morris. "With its air suspension providing unrivaled comfort, panoramic glass roof for views of the city and silent powertrain, what's not to like?" Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet has had the interior design of the 2016 Volt finished for two years already, according to GM interior designer John McDougall. Beginning around 2010, GM received sketches from designers worldwide before narrowing it down to a handful of designs. Then the top three choices were molded from clay. The chosen theme was then refined for up to 18 months. "Every little thing you can imagine goes into that," says McDougall. "The glare angle from the windows, the placement of the controls, the placement of the seat. You have to create something that's beautiful and functional." Read more at GM Authority and at Inside EVs. More details have emerged about the Second Life Batteries Alliance. Vattenfall has announced a research project in partnership with BMW and Bosch to use retired EV batteries for stationary, grid-connected energy storage in Hamburg, Germany. Over 100 lithium-ion batteries from BMW i3 and ActiveE vehicles will make up a two-mWh storage unit for grid balancing, enough to power 30 four-person households for a week. The system is "compact enough to fit in a small building," says Bosch. Such storage systems are especially fit for storing and moving alternative forms of energy, which often fluctuate in supply more than electricity from a traditional power plant. Vattenhall will operate the storage unit for 10 years, with Bosch managing the batteries, during which time the three partners hope to learn more about battery applications and their performance over time.
