 This unfinished 1968 Chevrolet C10 is amazing: the perfect stance, the perfect color, a powerful drivetrain, and a great price. This is one of the most desirable vehicles in the hottest segment of the old car hobby right now, you really need to put this slick pickup in your garage immediately.

With just a glance you can see that the Sunset Pearl paint on this pickup is astounding. All paint and body work was completed by Auto Artistry of  Russell, KS. The reflections are a mile deep in the beautifully buffed and polished surface. It certainly helps that the steel underneath is in good order, including completely refurbished bed, whose bulging fenders give the pickup a muscular, sporty look. Panel alignment is quite good throughout, suggesting a lot of extra hours spent getting everything to fit just right, something you don't often see in vehicles that are this affordable. It has been customized and shaved in many ways, so it has an subtle custom look, right down to the shaved factory marker lights and shiny chrome bumpers. Drop the brightly painted and smoothed tailgate ad you'll find fresh oak planks that glow with a honey-colored varnish, a wonderful complement to the Sunset Pearl bodywork. The subtly modified factory grille is in excellent shape, it looks aggressive without being obvious about it. It just looks right.

Nothing too radical going on inside, just more expertly finished work to create a truck that's probably better than new. The factory bench has been replaced with triple tan leather covered bucket seats with door panels and a dashboard to match. Factory instruments are used for viewing oil pressure, temperature, and voltage, as well as a factory tachometer nestled into the center where it should be. This is not your garden-variety pickup truck. The factory stereo location has been retrofitted with controls for the vintage air conditioning unit. The stereo head unit in the dash was relocated to the where the original heater controls were. The install has a nice OEM look to it and sounds a lot better than the crackling original AM radio and once finished installing the A/C it would stay pleasant inside even on the hottest days.

Thanks to a sellers mildly built motor, this truck runs and drives superbly. Topped by a 4-barrel carburetor and a third generation Z28 aluminum intake, the 350 cubic inch V8 starts easily and burbles away like a muscle car. The engine bay is quite neat and tidy, with good service access and lots of new equipment, including a modern alternator, new master cylinder, and a few dress-up components to make it look good. It's backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission built by Phoenix Transmissions of Weatherford, TX so it's a blast to drive and gets decent mileage, and you'll never get tired of the burly exhaust system's soundtrack. The suspension is a temporarily installed air ride, giving it a sporty rake, comfortable ride and just the right stance on those fat 255/35/20 radials and shiny Boss wheels.

Beautifully finished with a sizeable investment in the hardware, this is a no short-cuts pickup that runs and drives just as well as it looks.

This truck is also for sale locally and seller reserves the right to remove this truck from this auction any time without further notice.

2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 gets new supercharger, adds $17K to starting price

Tue, Apr 21 2015

Callaway's proud tradition of modifying Chevrolets is about to add a very significant chapter this weekend, as the company prepares to unveil a modified version of the 2015 Corvette Z06. The engine mods are simple, though we expect them to be very potent. That's because Chevy has replaced the factory supercharger with a new "GenThree" unit that's nearly a third larger than what's bolted on in Bowling Green. A new intercooler is also added, along with a new high-flow intake system. Beyond that, the changes are exclusively of the subtle cosmetic variety. There's new badging inside and out, as well as new engine covers, floormats and an underhood plaque. Naturally, there's documentation to verify the Callaway Z06's authenticity, and the comfort that comes with a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. Callaway has priced the upgrade package at $16,995, in addition to the price of the stock Z06. While we're still waiting to hear official power figures, that seems like a reasonable asking price for what were wagering will be a major increase in power. The Callaway Z06 will debut this weekend at the National Corvette Museum's C7 Bash in Bowling Green, KY. Expect more details following the debut. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: 2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 to Debut at National Corvette Museum The 2015 Callaway Corvette Z06 will debut at the National Corvette Museum C7 Bash in Bowling Green, Kentucky, April 23 through April 25. Here's a sneak peek at the new package. Based on Chevrolet's track-proven Z06, Callaway engineers' no-compromise approach takes this Corvette to an astounding power level. While advertised Callaway horsepower and torque are pending final validation, the Callaway package adds Callaway's new GenThree supercharger system with 32% more displacement than the stock Z06 supercharger, improved manifold design and unique triple-element intercooling system. Callaway engineers recognize that a key contributor to maximizing power is reduction of inlet air temperature. By exposing the supercharger's large plenum area to outside ambient airflow, the design takes advantage of the significant charge air temperature reduction provided by convective cooling. The completely redesigned intercooling system also helps maintain nearly ambient charge air temperature with exceptionally low air restriction.

GM doubles miles open to its Super Cruise technology

Wed, Aug 3 2022

DETROIT — General Motors said on Wednesday owners of certain vehicles equipped with its Super Cruise assisted driving system will now be able to use it on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads, doubling the current operating area as Tesla and other automakers race to deploy hands-free cruising technology. GM's Super Cruise system, like Tesla's Autopilot system, is a driver assistance system, and does not enable true autonomous driving. Spurred by Tesla's aggressive deployment of Autopilot, and Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk's promises of a more advanced "Full Self Driving" system, GM, Ford, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz are racing to deploy competing partial automation technology in major markets. At the same time, safety regulators are showing concern that drivers do not understand that Autopilot and similar systems are not designed to take over driving in every circumstance. The GM system's sensors and software allow a motorist to cruise with hands off the wheel on highways that have been mapped in detail. But the driver is expected to stay alert and ready to take over the car. GM uses technology to monitor the driver, and Super Cruise will sound alarms or slow the car to a stop if it detects that a driver is not responding. Starting later this year, GM plans to enable vehicles equipped with Super Cruise and the company's latest vehicle electronic system to operate hands-free on major, undivided highways in the United States and Canada, as well as additional miles of divided, interstate highways. Currently, Super Cruise operates only on interstate, divided highways. The expansion, enabled by wider digital mapping, will allow owners of properly equipped GM vehicles to cruise hands-free on stretches of Route 66 and the Pacific Coast Highway in the U.S. West or the Trans-Canada highway in Western Canada, GM said. Many of the new roads GM has mapped are in rural, heartland states where GM pickup trucks are popular. GM plans to offer Super Cruise as an option on its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra large pickups later this year. GM has said previously it intends to offer Super Cruise as an option on 22 models by the end of 2023. Depending on the model, Super Cruise costs $2,200 to $2,500 to add as an option.
