1967 67 Chevy Chevrolet C10 Hot Rod on 2040-cars
|
- 1967 C10. Truck has had a LOT of work done to it. Hundreds of hours. My uncle, who owned a body shop for many years started the build. He became sick and stopped when it was @ 90% done. Truck sat for about 10 years. I bought it in 2013 and got it where it is now. Not completely done but I'm ready for something else. I've outgrown it I guess both mentally and physically. Truck has less than 200 miles since build. Ill try to list all the details. Tank was moved to rear of bed with custom enclosure. Cab was attached to bed for a unibody structure. Handles very well. Bed was lightened up by replacing with sheet metal and insides of bed was flushed with same metal. Custom metal roll pans front and rear. No rear tailgate. Custom spoiler that was made from metal, can stand on it. Super strong. Has rear window conversion with sliding rear window and even third brake/cargo light. Has emergency brake pedal that uses foot like 80s model Chevy. Had very little rust when done. All body work done right. My uncle never intended on selling. -brand new jasper 350/350hp engine, eldelbrock intake, headman headers, carter carb - freshly rebuilt M20 tranny with hurst shifter, new clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing, - all new accessories on engine: alt, a/c compressor, plugs, plug wires,ps, belts, hoses, alt, -new radiator with electric fan -4 new tires 295/50/15 on rally rims with trim rings and caps with SS emblems, -new brake booster and master cylinder -new carter 750 carburetor, new msd ignition, master blaster coil, K&N air filter, new summit high volume fuel pump, new battery and cables, new sending unit -3.73 posi with large capacity aluminum cover - running gear is 1972 with rear leaf springs and larger front disk brakes -all new ac stuff from old air products: condensor, evaporator, compressor, lines, ducts, vents.

Was not painted to hide anything. It had different colors of primer, this was just to see if I liked the flat black look. -needs a carb adjustment, runs perfect after you take off, very responsive in every gear, doesn't miss or hesitate at all but loads up a little on first taking off. There is not a good carb guy in our town. -I planned on bedliner but have not put it on yet. Bed is dirty but no rust at all. Might like a Black Ram Viper SRT10 Regular Cab. Ill add some cash. I will ship at buyers expense and arrangement. Selling because I have lost interest. Nothing wrong with Truck. You can call and have a local mechanic inspect in you would like. Lots more pics if you need any. |

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
