For sale is my never ending 1970 C10 project. This truck started life in Texas as a long bed. Through the donor program, it now has short wheelbase frame, 1985 Chevy 1/2 ton front suspension (in order to easily convert to front disc brakes). The cab is the only remaining item that has not been changed (VIN plate goes to cab). The 12 bolt diff is out of another donor, of which I have no idea if is road ready or not, cover has not been pulled. New trailing arms and rear springs. I had the truck in the body shop and had the drip rail removed and was in the process of smoothing the fire wall when I trailed off to another project. I have new sheet metal ( front fenders, core support, cowl induction hood, the doors are new, new door hinges, new bed sides (short bed), new tail gate and rear roll pan. I have also the bed wood kit, but it is in long bed format, as the truck was when I started. I was going to cut those down to fit the short bed. I have all the chrome bed strips and mounting hardward for the wood bed kit. New rear cab corners and rocker panels have been welded in, just need to be ground down and clean up. The seats are out of a late model GTO, they are not bolted in truck and I have not build the mounting brackets to do so. I also had started an install of power windows, the driver side is in but needs to be adjusted to raise and lower smoothly, I have the remaining kit to install on pass side, think I bought this kit from Brothers. The cab is mounted to body with a new bushing kit, put in about 2 - 3 months ago. There is a 350 4 bolt main block that goes with the truck. Not sure the year or exactly where I got it at. There is some wear at top of cylinders but should clean up. I have a Ford diff that I had build in 07 that I was going to use for this truck but the direction of build went other ways. The reason was to get the rear disc brakes. As you can see from receipt, I had limited slip with 3.55 ratio installed. Again the cover has not been pulled since it was put together by driveline shop. It also has never been put in vehicle since build. There are several additional parts that goes with truck such as new door handles, some weather stripping, door locks, used master cylinder, keyless entry kit and extra body mounts. I would suggest a local purchase or bringing trailer to get, from my experience, most vehicle delivery companies will not mess with loose components. Buyer is responsible for any shipping requirements and fees. Please contact me with any questions and for shipping/payment information. 443-980-1269, tracy

Recharge Wrap-up: Lexus CT 200h is NWAPA's favorite hybrid, 'No Charge to Charge' in LA
Thu, Jul 24 2014The Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) has given the Lexus CT 200h its Favorite Hybrid title. It named the compact luxury hybrid its favorite of 2014 at its Drive Revolution in Portland (where it also named the new Volkswagen Golf TDI the Northwest Green Car of the Year). According to NWAPA president Nik Miles, the CT 200h earned the honor for "impressive combination of state-of-the-art small car luxury and hybrid technology." For 2014, the Lexus CT200h got an updated front end, including the spindle grille we've been seeing on new Lexus vehicles, plus a redesigned steering wheel and sliding sun visors. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet credits the Malibu for helping make stop-start mainstream. Chevrolet started including stop-start technology standard in Malibus equipped with the four-cylinder engine. Chevy has sold about 83,000 of that model, so 97 percent of 2014 and 2015 Malibu sales include stop-start. Now, that technology has made its way into the 2015 Impala. With drivers idling an average of 16 minutes a day, stop-start can significantly reduce harmful emissions and save fuel. According to Navigant Research, we can expect annual sales of cars equipped with stop-start technology to surpass 55 million by 2022. Read more in the press release below. Nissan Leaf customers in Los Angeles will get access to free charging beginning August 15. Nissan is extending its "No Charge to Charge" promotion to LA, which will allow customers to charge at public charging stations at no cost. Leaf customers - including those who bought or leased their car from the participating dealerships on or after July 1 - will get an EZ-Charge card, allowing them to use ChargePoint, Blink, CarCharging, AeroVironment and NRG eVgo chargers for free. Rapid chargers can charge the Leaf's battery to 80 percent in 30 minutes. Nissan plans to offer the "No Charge to Charge" in at least 14 more markets in the US, bringing the total to 25, within the next year. See the press release below for more details. California will get six all-electric school buses for three school districts as part of a demonstration program. The California Energy Commission awarded a grant of $1.4 million for the program to National Strategies LLC; this is in addition to a $2.2-million grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The EV buses use vehicle-to-grid technology, allowing them to sell energy back to the grid when it is needed.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It'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.
