Up for auction is a 1983 Chevrolet K-10 Silverado 4X4 pickup truck. This Silverado originally came from Utah and has been in North Carolina for several years. This Silverado was repainted sometime in it's past and does have a few chips, dings and the clear coat is peeling in a spot or two but this Silverado looks great from any angle. There are a couple rust bubble spots on each cab corner but the bed looks good especially inside where the bed sides and the bed floor are rust free. This truck is in much better shape than most east coast trucks! This Silverado is equipped with a 350 small block V-8 engine that replaced the original 305 powerplant. The 350 has a new Holley Dominator aluminum intake mated with a new Holley 650 CFM four barrel carburetor equipped with an electric choke. There is also a new electronic distributor. This Silverado has a completely new dual exhaust system including chrome plated headers. While we were replacing the exhaust we also replaced both the left and right front inner fenders just to clean up the under the hood appearance. The overdrive automatic transmission has all four gears but seems to shift a bit slow. This could be due to the downshift cable not adjusted properly after the new intake and carburetor were installed. One technician told me that I do not have the correct mounting brackets installed on the Holley for that downshift cable. The four wheel drive works perfectly! This Silverado also has a brand new radiator and coolant. The air conditioning system needs some R-12 installed as the compressor cycles too quickly and cools very little. The interior has been restored and looks excellent! New carpet, new seat, new dash pad, new headliner and new lower door panels. It also has a NOS dash bezel, NOS right and left door panel trim, NOS door pull handles with screw covers. Factory AM-FM Stereo Cassette that works with both factory front and rear speakers. I am being critical on this Silverado as I am trying to show any and all items. It's a great looking, running truck and if you are a fan of the 81 through 87 GM truck this one is a winner and one you could be proud to own. I bought this truck to create my own everyday driver but I am now forced to sell. My reserve is quite low considering how much work has already been done to this Silverado but I will not disclose the reserve also I will not end the auction early. Please be serious about buying this truck. If you have less than a +5 feedback rating you MUST email me before bidding on this Silverado or I reserve the right to reject your bid. I also require a $500 nonrefundable deposit within 24 hours of purchase. Full payment and pickup must be made within 7 days of end of sale. I can store for a short period of time but only as long as full payment is received.
Thanks for viewing my auction and as always, although I have tried to be overly critical in regards to this truck, please email me with any questions you have and I will send you my phone number so we can talk. I have tried to show everything I know about this Silverado but it is a used truck and will b sold as-is.

2023 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study shows there's less quality than last year
Thu, Jun 22 2023Vehicle inventory, vehicle pricing, and the supply chain are finally showing improvement. Vehicle quality, on the other hand, is still going the wrong way. That's the takeaway from the 2023 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study that found overall problems exceeded last year's record high. The study surveyed owners of 2022-model-year vehicles to assess the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. For 2022, the average jumped to 180 problems. For 2023, the PP100 is up to an industry average of 192 — an increase of 30 problems per 100 vehicles in just two years. Let's get to the good news first: Dodge reclaimed the crown of having the lowest number of problems per 100 vehicles at 140. Buick won last year with 139 PP100, falling to third this year. Dodge was the first American automaker to top the IQS in 2021. Its return as the least problematic gives parent company Stellantis three wins in four years after Ram was crowned in 2021. It also gives U.S. brands a four-peat after Buick topped the chart in 2022 by having owners report the fewest problems. This year's top 10 is Dodge, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Porsche, Cadillac, Kia, and Lexus. Stellantis gathered a few feathers for its cap, in fact. Maserati showed the largest improvement year-on-year, followed by Alfa Romeo, and Alfa Romeo posted the lowest PP100 among the premium class, beating Porsche and Cadillac. Alfa Romeo has been vocal about working to improve quality, mentioning Lexus as a target. Last year the Japanese brand finished sixth, the Italians finished near the bottom, between Jaguar and Mitsubishi. This year Alfa jumped to third, Lexus dropped to tenth. Ram was the third-best on the list of improvers from 2022 to 2023.  The individual model with the lowest PP100 is the Nissan Maxima. Now for the troublesome bits. In the words of Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, "The industry is at a major crossroad and the path each manufacturer chooses is paramount for its future.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?
Tue, Nov 8 2016It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?
