1972 Chevy C10 long bed pickup with 350, automatic transmission, 3.73 12 bolt rear end, power steering and A/C cab (compressor is gone). The truck is currently my daily driver. The truck has spent its life here in Texas and was a true barn find. I have some of the original paper work dating back to September 1973, the truck was owned by the same family until I acquired it in 2010.  There were no major floor or rocker panel rust issues when the truck was rescued from the barn. Since being pulled out of the barn the truck has received many improvements. Mechanical improvements include an Edelbrock intake and carb combo, one wire alternator, new gas tank, fuel sending unit, front rotors, rear drums and master cylinder. The truck was painted roughly 3 years ago in Zinc Yellow with a Pearl White roof, scallops on the hood are Pearl White with blue candy tips and green pinstriping. Custom glovebox art ties the truck's Texas Milk Barn history into the build of the truck.  Body moldings have been shaved as well as the antenna and the seam in the roof to give the truck that smooth, sleek look. Chevy Rally Wheels have been added as well as the custom front bumper. The bumper is originally off an F100, with turn signals added in the bumper for that "72" look. Seat has been recovered and a Grant Wheel has been added in place of the original steering wheel. The dash pad has a few cracks, the door panels are missing the arm rest pads, there's no carpet and the glove box tray is missing. The front grille is painted to simulate a custom billet grille, but could use replacement (tabs are breaking - age related).

There are a  few areas that could still use some improvement. There's no bed floor, there's a minor oil leak and the rear differential seal is leaking slightly at the yolk. The dash lights don't light up when headlight switch is in the on position, when left turn signal is on gas gauge drops down until turn signal is off. Turn signal doesn't self cancel on left turns. Tires appear to be in good shape, but are old and it would probably be a good idea to replace them in the near future.

As you can tell, I've described the truck with it's flaws as well as it's great points!  If you like 72 Chevy pickups, this one will be a great truck with just a little bit of love from its new owner.  It's as solid as a 42 year old truck could be!

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.

Chevy Spark EV will go on sale in Maryland

Thu, Jan 22 2015

The single-charge range of a Chevrolet Spark electric vehicle may not blow away anyone who's used to driving on a topped off tank of gas. But a full charge will actually get a Spark EV about halfway across the state of Maryland. Which is good because that state will be the first on the East Coast to sell the battery-electric model. General Motors said this week that Chevy Spark EV sales will start in Maryland this spring, and that federal and Maryland tax credits will get the out-of-pocket price of the Spark EV below the $18,000 threshold. GM took the opportunity to tout the Spark EV's 119 miles per gallon equivalent rating and says Maryland has sufficient charging infrastructure for drivers to welcome the EV without too much trouble. Last June, Spark EV distribution was reported to be ready to extend beyond the Pacific Coast. Specifically, Ohio was thought to be next in line to get Spark electric vehicles after four state car dealerships listed the model on their websites. GM's Randy Fox, however, quashed that real quick, saying only California and Oregon had sufficient infrastructure to support the Spark EV. GM first announced the Spark EV for public (or at least American) consumption back in 2011. Last year, the General sold 1,145 Spark EVs, up 87 percent from 2013. For more on the Maryland expansion, take a look at GM's press release below. Chevrolet Spark EV Plugs into Maryland Customer demand drives addition of East Coast; features locally sourced drive unit 2015-01-22 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Chevrolet will start selling the Spark EV in Maryland this spring, expanding the pure electric mini-car's "range" to the East Coast. The Spark EV is the most efficient U.S. retail electric vehicle on the market, delivering an EPA-estimated combined city/highway 119 MPGe fuel economy equivalent and 82 miles of EPA-estimated combined city/highway range. It is priced as low as $17,845, after federal and Maryland tax credits – and it features a locally sourced electric motor and drive unit, manufactured at General Motors' Baltimore Operations facility in White Marsh, Md. "The Spark EV has been one of the most well-received electric vehicles in the industry and customer demand helped make the decision to expand its availability to Maryland," said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet director of car marketing.

Chevy admits there's confusion over Bolt and Volt names

Fri, Feb 20 2015

Offering the possibility of 200 miles of driving range and the potential for a price of about $30,000, the Chevrolet Bolt is an incredibly enticing vehicle, and it has an opportunity to be a big player in the EV world. However, the hatchback has been plagued by one problem since the moment it debuted – the name. Bolt sounds very similar to Volt, Chevy's extended-range plug-in, and they can be easy to confuse in a conversation. That's not the best quality to have when trying to get a new vehicle's name out there among customers, and General Motors North America president Alan Batey told the Detroit Free Press that the company is aware of the problem. While the EV is definitely going into production, the model might be wearing a different moniker when it hits showrooms. "We're still in the decision phase. It could go either way," Batey said to the Free Press. He indicated the automaker still has about a year before a final decision is necessary. The Bolt will be built at GM's Orion Assembly plant in Michigan and will likely go on sale around 2017. That will put the Chevy on the market at roughly the same time as the 200-mile Tesla Model 3. Batey didn't seem too concerned, though. "Unlike Tesla, we can spread the cost over a whole lineup," he said to the Free Press. The future doesn't look quite so bright for the Spark EV, though. Batey suggested that it might not last once the longer-range Bolt fills that niche in the lineup. Related Video:
