1972 Chevrolet Pickup 350 Chevy C10 on 2040-cars
Arlington, Texas, United States
|
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!

Recharge Wrap-up: NEDC's NOx problems, autonomous Chevy Volts
Mon, Dec 7 2015The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found a significant difference in NOx emissions in Euro 6 diesel cars in NEDC and WLTC testing. While 88 percent of the cars tested met emissions standards for NEDC, NOx emissions averaged five times higher under WLTC, with only 27 percent of vehicles under the limit. WLTC is considered to be a more realistic driving cycle, using hot starts and factoring a higher top speed as well as harder and more frequent accelerations than the NEDC. Read more at Green Car Congress.GM Canada will build a fleet of autonomous 2017 Chevrolet Volts. The self-driving Volts will be deployed for testing at GM's Warren, Michigan Technical Center. Employees will be able to use a carsharing app to reserve a car, which will then drive itself to the set destination. The project will allow GM to collect important data and experience to help the company more quickly develop autonomous driving technology. Read in a press release more from GM Canada, or at Green Car Congress.Carwatt is showing an electric Renault Trafic powered by second-life batteries at the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The lithium-ion batteries used to power the EV were recycled from other Renault EVs. With the electric Trafic, Carwatt – a company that converts vehicles to use electric power – aims to demonstrate the "circular economy" of batteries, which can provide more value through a longer lifecycle. Read more in the press release below. Carwatt presents a unique automotive application for second-life batteries from electric vehicles. On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, in the Solutions Gallery running from 2 to 9 December 2015 in Le Bourget near Paris, Carwatt and its partners —Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Ales Ecole des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus — are showing a very special electric Renault Trafic. This prototype vehicle, the only one of kind in the world, is powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars. Circular economy at work with electric vehicles When, over time, the batteries of a Renault electric vehicle fall the performance threshold specified for their initial automotive power duty (around 75% of initial capacity), they can still provide valuable service in "second-life" applications before end-of-life disposal at a recycling centre. Experiments are already under way on power storage applications, for example.
Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?
Sun, Jan 10 2016Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06
Tue, Nov 25 2014The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.
