WELL, HERE IT IS, ONE OF THE COOLEST AND UNIQUE TRUCKS IVE EVER OWNED IS UP FOR SALE. ITS A 1971 CHEVY C10 2WD PICKUP THAT HAS BEEN TOTALLY REWORKED FROM THE GROUND UP. ILL START BY SAYING THIS TRUCK IS NO THROWN TOGETHER CHEAP BUILD. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN DONE RIGHT PROFESSIONALLY AND ONLY WITH HIGH END PARTS. I HAVE A THICK BINDER FULL OF EVERYTHING DONE TO THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO AND THE TRUCK WAS MATTE BLACK AND HAD ALREADY RECEIVED THE 5.3 LS MOTOR AND 4L60E TRANSMISSION SWAP OUT OF A NEWER TAHOE, AS WELL AS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS USING CPP PARTS, AND THE FUEL TANK HAD BEEN MOVED TO THE REAR BELOW THE BED WITH A CUSTOM FILLER IN THE BED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD INSTALLED THE 69-70 GRILL, WHICH I LIKED, SO I KEPT IT ON. I QUICKLY MADE UP MY MIND THAT I WANTED TO GO WITH A PATINA PAINT JOB. IT TOOK ME WEEKS OF SANDING AND TWEAKING TO GET THE RIGHT LOOK I WAS GOING AFTER AND THEN HAD A PAINT SHOP SPRAY A COAT OF SATIN CLEAR OVER THE WHOLE BODY OF THE TRUCK. THEN I ADDED THE BODY SIDE MOLDINGS TO FINISH OFF THE "FACTORY" OLD LOOK I WAS GOING FOR. AFTER GETTING THE EXTERIOR ALL LINED OUT I MOVED TO THE INTERIOR. THE POWERED BUCKET SEATS WERE ALREADY IN THE TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT IT BUT THEY WERE A GRAY CLOTH, WHICH I DIDNT REALLY CARE FOR TO MUCH. SO, I HAD THEM REUPHOLSTERED IN BLACK LEATHER WITH HOUNDSTOOTH INSERTS. I PUT IN NEW BLACK CARPET AND A SET OF LMC KICK PANELS. THEN I TOOK IT TO A STEREO SHOP AND THEY INSTALLED A KILLER SOUND SYSTEM. I THEN REALIZED THIS TRUCK WAS GOING TO NEED AC, SO I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED THE NEWEST VINTAGE AIR SETUP. I FINISHED UP THE INTERIOR AND JUST ENJOYED THE TRUCK. ITS A BLAST TO DRIVE WHETHER ITS IN TOWN OR ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75 MPH. EVERYTHING WORKS ON THE TRUCK, INCLUDING ALL LIGHTS AND CUSTOM CARBON FIBER GAUGES. THE TIRES ARE LIKE NEW AND THE WHEELS ARE BLACK POWDERCOATED STEEL WHEELS. THE MOTOR HAS AN LS6 CAM WITH CHROME HEADERS WHICH MAKES FOR A KILLER SOUND. I CANT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT SOMEONE COMING UP TO ME ASKING ABOUT THE TRUCK. I WILL DEFINITELY MISS THIS TRUCK WHEN ITS GONE BUT I JUST BOUGHT MY NEWEST PROJECT, A 1969 CHEVY C10 SHORT BED 4X4, SO UNFORTUNATELY THIS ONE HAS TO GO.
GIVE ME A CALL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. I WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY OTHER PICTURES OF EVEN A VIDEO FOR SERIOUS BUYERS. MY NUMBER IS 573-587-1159 |

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Recharge Wrap-up: NEDC's NOx problems, autonomous Chevy Volts
Mon, Dec 7 2015The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found a significant difference in NOx emissions in Euro 6 diesel cars in NEDC and WLTC testing. While 88 percent of the cars tested met emissions standards for NEDC, NOx emissions averaged five times higher under WLTC, with only 27 percent of vehicles under the limit. WLTC is considered to be a more realistic driving cycle, using hot starts and factoring a higher top speed as well as harder and more frequent accelerations than the NEDC.

Employees will be able to use a carsharing app to reserve a car, which will then drive itself to the set destination. The project will allow GM to collect important data and experience to help the company more quickly develop autonomous driving technology. Read in a press release more from GM Canada, or at Green Car Congress.Carwatt is showing an electric Renault Trafic powered by second-life batteries at the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The lithium-ion batteries used to power the EV were recycled from other Renault EVs. With the electric Trafic, Carwatt – a company that converts vehicles to use electric power – aims to demonstrate the "circular economy" of batteries, which can provide more value through a longer lifecycle. Read more in the press release below. Carwatt presents a unique automotive application for second-life batteries from electric vehicles. On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, in the Solutions Gallery running from 2 to 9 December 2015 in Le Bourget near Paris, Carwatt and its partners —Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Ales Ecole des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus — are showing a very special electric Renault Trafic. This prototype vehicle, the only one of kind in the world, is powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars. Circular economy at work with electric vehicles When, over time, the batteries of a Renault electric vehicle fall the performance threshold specified for their initial automotive power duty (around 75% of initial capacity), they can still provide valuable service in "second-life" applications before end-of-life disposal at a recycling centre. Experiments are already under way on power storage applications, for example.
