V8 S10 Conversion Body Off 1982 on 2040-cars
Lawrenceville, Georgia, United States
|
Here is an extremely straight not a door ding absolutely show straight body with a professional paint job done frame off inside and out all door jambs under hood bed etc however it was frame offed about 10 years past then fell into some barn after engine threw rod. I bought it for way too much $ because of the condition of body and underneath, which is almost as impressive. zero rust none. The underside is clean as well. Anyway I had my mechanic who specializes in s10 rods and races an s10 Blazer do the install of basically a very nice running 350 which had been rebuilt out of a show cutlass who upgraded to 450 hp. Engine seems to be stock truck motor out of pre 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe or suburban with a 4 bbl and dual exhaust. the trans is a 700r4 which shifts very smooth and the rear end I'm guessing is 3:25 somewhere around there. Now with the 16" Camaro z28 rims it will spin the tires at will even at speed so the motor has too much power to do anything with without going posi and some type of traction aid. It is basically a driver and she is very dependable my son has driven it the past month daily since his car was broken. It is very well mannered if driven like Grandma or she will fly if desired. The gas mileage is decent with the 700r. I bought the car also because it had both heat which works well and a/c system complete. Most s10 conversions remove everything but this one is a step above. I was going to finish it and do everything but I have recently been given custody of a 2 yr old to go along with the 6 yr old so now I cannot use this truck and need ext cab. so before I paint it and it gets more expensive I'm putting her up for cheap. This truck could be extremely nice with very little elbow grease, plus you can drive it anywhere any distance right now. new alternator, new starter, new battery, brakes are excellent, exhaust is perfect, gas is clean and electric fuel pump works dependably. Best of all it does not get hot with the 2 electric fans and the special aluminum radiator stuff needing attention :1. seats need removed and new springs installed they are shot 2. there is water coming in on drivers side floor there is an easy fix on internet haven't got to it yet 3. speedocable either broke or disconnected it was working but not now 4. headliner is new but glue failed and needs reglued 5. never bothered to hook up radio |

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
