Up for auction is a 1985 Chevrolet K10 4x4 Pickup minus the motor. The pickup is equipped with a 4-speed transmission, 4x4, WARN lucking hubs, power steering, power brakes, A/C, CD player, sliding back glass, truck cap, bed liner, trailer hitch, aluminum rims and 33/12.5/15 tires with 1/3 tread left. I purchased the truck a week ago just for the engine, so now I am selling the rest of the truck. I suppose for the right money I would sell the truck complete, so I will entertain offers. I have left the engine in the truck until the end of the auction so the truck will be available for test drives. I have driven the truck approximately 50 miles with no issues. The gentleman I purchased the truck from said it needs new tie rods; however I did not experience any major issues on the drive home. Over all the truck is in pretty good condition for its age. During my short ownership I have tested the 4-wheel drive which worked as it should. I have run the 4-speed manual transmission through all of its gears with no major issues. I tested the brakes, head lights, wipers, heat, radio, fuel gauge, aftermarket water temp gauge, aftermarket oil pressure gauge, and all function properly. The speedometer does not appear to be hooked up; it did not function during my trip home. The bed is the main rust on the truck. The front fenders, hood, floors, cab corners and rockers all appear to be in good condition. Doors shut nice as does the tailgate. The interior is in good shape for a 1985 Chevy pickup. I have the clean Indiana title in the previous owner’s name. The truck is sold As Is. No warranty implied or otherwise. A $500 Non Refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction, cash only balance at pick up or full purchase price through pay pal. Must be paid for and picked up within 7 days of auctions end. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. If you have questions PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDING!!! Thanks for looking.
On Apr-10-14 at 08:05:42 PDT, seller added the following information: The truck is located in Casey, IL 62420. Please contact me before you bid if you have 0 feedback or negative feedback, otherwise I will cancel your bid. Thanks! On Apr-11-14 at 06:52:13 PDT, seller added the following information:
The radiator, power steering pump with bracket, and manifolds will go with the truck. I plan to use the alternator with bracket, and the starter. The truck has a new flowmaster exhaust system that will go with the truck as long as I do not have to lower my reserve to get the truck sold. If I lower my reserve I will keep the exhaust system and use it on my project. Thanks, for your interest! |

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?
Sat, Mar 26 2016High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
