83' Chevy C-10 Custom W/ Built Sbc 355 on 2040-cars
Huntsville, Texas, United States
Hello,
This is my 83' Chevy C-10 that I've had for a number of years now. My reason for selling is financial. I'm starting school in the fall, and the cost, not to mention this truck being a second vehicle, has forced me to sell. I'd love to keep it because it is a very fun truck to drive, and could easily become a functional daily drive for anyone interested. With that said, the truck is currently NOT RUNNING. There is an ignition issue involving the Accel distributor that's currently in the truck, so I've ordered a new one and my father (who helps me with the maintenance) and I will be putting it in before the conclusion of this auction. I will keep this posting updated with details about the progress of that repair. Now to the fun part. This truck has a loooong list of aftermarket parts that have been incorporated. The engine was out of a 96' Chevy Silverado (Vortec, throttle body w/ Vortec cast iron heads), which we had machined. This is to include a three angle valve job on the Vortec heads. The lower end includes a Scat crank, Kieth Black pistons, Melling oil pump, and a Milodon oil pan. The entire top end was outfitted with new parts, and included a Comp hydraulic roller cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, Holly 600 CFM carb. I'd estimate that the engine has around 2,000 miles on it. When the distributor wasn't having issues, we were also having issues getting the truck to idle down properly. This could probably be resolved with some carb tuning that is beyond my scope of mechanical ability. I'll also mention the aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock aluminum air filter cover, and Holley electric fuel pump that is mounted on the frame, near the driver side door. On the exhaust side of things, the truck has headers and dual exhaust that dumps right behind the rear axle (photograph of undercarriage shows this). The mufflers were a Flowmaster replica whose name I don't remember, and I've never been aware of the brand of headers. At idle the truck has a mild exhaust note, but when it's revved it really sounds good. An aggressive sound that isn't just a bunch of noise, but not incredibly loud like some of these guys are running. The transmission is a Saginaw four speed with a Hurst 4 speed shifter. I was never able to get the linkage just perfect, but the truck functionally shifts in to each gear. The clutch and flywheel (Lakewood) is also new. In regards to the body, the paint job is not perfect. The body has dings, scratches, orange peel, poor body work in different places. I've included photographs of the majority of these issues, but I might have overlooked some. I can say that the truck is completely rust free. Wheels and tires are Chevrolet rally wheels; 15x10, FireHawk Indy 500, P295/60 R15 on the rear, 15x8 Yokohama Avid S/T P235/60 R15. The tread is not great, but acceptable all the way around. The passenger's side front tire has a slow leak. The bed of the truck I did not photograph because it needs to be cleaned out, but it is painted in primer and has all the normal wear and tear of a 30+ year old truck bed. Inside the truck are a lot of new parts as well. The carpet, seat belts are both new, and the seat has been reapholstered, which alone cost me a little over 300 dollars. Outside of this, I've reused some old interior parts. The dash is badly cracked in a few places, and I've included a picture of this. The gauge cluster and steering well don't look perfect either. All the glass on the truck is crack free from what I've noticed, and crystal clear. There are some other noteworthy, small issues like how the glove compartment doesn't have a latch, the kicker panels haven't been replaced, the hood popper hasn't been remounted. As the auction progresses I will continue listing any issues that I feel are significant, but I think the important thing for potential bidders to keep in mind is the truck is by no means perfect. I know that doesn't make me sound like much of a salesman, but I want to be upfront so I don't have any issues post-transaction. I want to be transparent about the fact that this truck will need a little TLC here and there, but paired with the right owner could be a real joy and asset to someone's life. Happy bidding. Some additional details I forgot: -I do have a brand new, chrome rear bumper (photographed), but I do not have the mounting brackets or hardware. -The truck's odometer read 30,190 miles, but I am certain it has rolled over once so 130,190 miles. -There is no factory AC in the truck, but I have an aftermarket system that came with it that will be included in the sale. -The trim around the passenger door has a few missing pieces of hardware -Chipped paint at the top of the front windshield -Buyers are responsible for pickup -Cash or cashier's check payment methods will require verification of funds Thanks! |

Plug In 2014: VIA makes the case for 'free' plug-in hybrid work vans, trucks
Fri, Aug 1 2014If you're a fleet manager who's been waiting anxiously for the chance to buy a plug-in hybrid van from Via Motors, your wait is almost over. If you work for the right fleet, anyway. David West, the chief marketing efficer for VIA Motors, took AutoblogGreen for a ride around the San Jose Convention Center in a Via van sporting an Electric Blue paint job as part of the Plug In 2014 Conference this week and gave us an update on how things are coming along. The big news is that the Via PHEV van production is going to start by the end of September. Via can currently build two vans an hour at its production plant in Mexico, or about 16 a day and could easily double that. "That would get us to 20,000 a year with two full lines running," West said. "We have the capacity." "There is no way gas can compete with electric." – David West, Via Motors But they can't sell that many quite yet. By the end of December, around 350 Vans will be made, mostly for a $20-million program from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District that will see the vehicles used by fleets that will report energy data to the Idaho National Lab. Via is also finishing up CARB certification for both the van and the company's plug-in hybrid pick-up truck. About 50 percent of Via's technology in the truck will not need to be tested again, since it's the same as what's in the van, but things like crash tests will need to be done twice. Despite the progress, this is not where Via hoped it would be today. The bankruptcy of battery supplier A123, "took about a year off our timeline," West said. "It's been getting a little slow getting it to market, there have been some challenges, particuarly since we had the country's worst recession right in the middle of this wrap up, but it's inevitable in my mind. There is no way gas can compete with electric." Maybe that's why FedEx has expressed an interest in buying around 5,000 units, West said. FedEx already has some pilot vehicles, just like Verizon does, and PG&E wants to replace all of their gas trucks with electric vehicles, which would be another 3,000 sales, he said. Besides the fuel savings, vehicles like these, with easy on-site power generation, could also work wonders in post-disaster situations, he said, since they could replace the need for generators.
The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015
Thu, Jan 14 2016According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis
Fri, Mar 7 2014What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.
