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. Sale price excludes government fees and taxes, any finance charges, any document preparation charge, and any emission testing charge. The price for listed vehicles as equipped does not include charges such as: License, Title, Registration Fees, State or Local Taxes, Dealer Prep, Smog Fees, Credit Investigation, Optional Credit Insurance, Physical Damage of Liability Insurance, or Delivery Fees.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs
Wed, Aug 19 2020SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.
