1972 Chevrolet C10 on 2040-cars
Florham Park, New Jersey, United States
|
Finished in bright yellow paint with a sweet-running 406 small block under the hood, this 1972 Chevrolet C10 pickup is too nice to take to work, and too functional to be merely a toy. If you need a hobby vehicle that is willing to earn its keep, look no further.??Chevrolet called the paint nothing more than Yellow and it's a great choice for one of the most handsome trucks to come out of the GM design studios in years. This is a very clean truck that has never been rusty or abused. Instantly recognizable coming or going, these trucks are seeing a big resurgence in their popularity and prices for nice ones like this are slowly but surely inching up. Two tone paint gives it a traditional look, and ties in with the lettering on the tailgate. ?? Speaking of the passenger compartment, the bench seat has been reupholstered in correct black vinyl, which is an ideal contrast to the bright yellow paint. New black carpets on the floor give the blue collar truck a white collar feel and help control noise and heat as well. The dash, door panels, and lower kick panels have been painted to match the body, tying the entire truck together, and you can see the level of detail in the door jambs where the two-tone color scheme continues. All the original gauges are fully functional, with a column-mounted tach and a trio of auxiliary gauges down low completing the under-hood picture. Freshly rebuilt in June 2011, the 406 cubic inch Chevy V8 under the hood runs as well as it looks. There's a Holley carb sitting atop an Edelbrock intake, and a bright chrome air cleaner and matching set of valve covers add some flash. There's also a new alternator, fresh hoses throughout, and a set of long-tube headers feeding a dual exhaust system. The TH350 3-speed automatic was rebuilt at the same time and has been outfitted with a performance-oriented 2800-RPM stall torque converter that will bark the tires if you're not careful. Out back, 3.73 gears give this little yellow truck some real pickup, and it rolls on a set of traditional Rallys wearing 275/60/15 performance radials that really stuff the wheel wells. This is a well loved garage queen in need of a new home for the summer. The truck is advertised locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please send me a message if you have any questions. |

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt
Fri, Jan 3 2014Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
