Up for sale is a well maintained 1996 Chevrolet (Chevy) S-10 pick-up. This truck has been in our family since it was new. I have owned the vehicle since around 40,000 miles and I am the second owner. This was my first vehicle and as such it has been well maintained and given plenty of TLC over the years. The truck currently has 211,XXX miles and is still my daily driver after 15 years of ownership. Vehicle is fully documented from mile 1 showing all regularly scheduled maintenance, upgrades and repairs. Documentation will accompany the vehicle for the new owner.
The 1996 model year was part the last body style of the S-10 that Chevy would produce before the 2WD model ended production in 2003. This truck has the Vortec 4.3L V6 which puts out 175 HP and 240 ft-lbs of torque (same as the SS models). It also has the five-speed manual transmission which was not available with the SS models (Chevy only offered them with automatic transmission). Onyx black exterior has been paired with the graphite interior.
The truck has had a few cosmetic modifications over the years with the addition of Super Sport / SS badging all around and the standard grille was replaced with a flat black one to better match the color of the truck and replicate the SS look which had color coordinating grilles. The original silver grille is included with the truck if the new owner wants to restore the truck to its factory appearance.
Other than the expected minor wear and some surface rust in a couple locations, there is no damage to the vehicle. The truck was involved in a minor incident in the early 2000s. Another driver backed into in it with their hitch receiver, denting the front bumper and permanently deforming the plastic license plate mount. All damaged components were replaced with brand new OEM/GM parts. All of the original parts which were removed as part of the repair will be included with the truck as well.
The interior is in very good condition. There is one small tear in the driver's seat which is part of 60/40 split bench design. Options on this vehicle include power steering, power brakes (disc front / drum rear), AC, AM/FM stereo with CD player and full size spare tire. Also included with the truck is a Truxedo tonneau cover (Lo Pro QT #543101) and form fitting all-weather indoor/outdoor car cover. The bed cover and car cover alone are worth over $500. Might make a nice custom project to drop in a V8 or just continue to use it as a low budget daily driver.
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions and I would be happy to answer them. I am available to show the vehicle most evenings after 5:30PM CT or on weekends. We are located in Plymouth, Minnesota (Minneapolis - Twin Cities) and have the clear title in hand.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint
Sun, Feb 6 2022Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:
Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu
Tue, Jul 28 2015The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way. Related Video: GM Paving Way to Smarter and Safer Driving at All-New Active Safety Test Area 22 crash-avoidance technologies offered on 2016 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac models MILFORD, Mich. 2015-07-24 – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac will offer 22 different active safety technologies across their 2016 model year U.S. lineups, ranging from driver alerts to those that automatically intervene and assist the driver in critical situations. Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.
