1979 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale Pickup 4x4. 21k Original Miles! Nice Truck! on 2040-cars
Pontiac, Illinois, United States
|
Up for bid is a beautiful classic Chevy truck. Its a 1979 K10 Scottsdale with 21,251 miles on it! This truck was a barn find from a nearby town. The young man had it handed down to him from his grandparents where it sat in a barn for several years and he was moving to California so he had to sell it. The part that really sucks is that he took the original carburetor off and replaced it with an edelbrock. Along with a open air breather. It has a brand new msd cap and rotor, along with new napa plug wires and A/C Delco spark plugs. Other than those few things this truck is as far as i know all original. I have the original wheels and tires that are not pictured but i can post them at a later time. I have these nicer aluminum wheels on it now that came from an 85 chevy 4x4 from the factory. This truck runs good. It has electric choke. The transmission shifts flawlessly. Everything works. It has ice cold air conditioning that has recently been converted to R134. Their was nothing wrong with it, it worked perfect with the R12 we just updated it to R134. Heat and defrost work perfect as well. The truck has a newer pioneer cd player with usb and audio in ports. This trucks runs down the road very nice. Everything is nice and tight no play in the wheel. Its like driving a brand new 79 Chevy. The brakes work very well, can stop on a dime. The interior is in very good shape. The dash and gauges are flawless. no rips or scratches in seat. The exterior of the truck is in good shape for the age. Very shiny yet but starting to thin out in areas. Their is also some surface rust. All the panels are rock solid. A paint job wouldn't hurt. The bed is in awesome shape until you get to the tailgate area where their are two rust holes that would need patched and painted (see pics). The hood is beautiful, very glossy and shiny blue but has some rust showing through in the very front. (See pics). The whole truck is beautiful! I cant go anywhere without being stopped or getting compliments everywhere i go. Heads turn every where this thing goes. Newer 31 inch tires that are about 75% tread left or better. This truck sounds good but not loud. Just a single exhaust pipe with a flowmaster muffler. The four wheel drive shifter works perfect in all settings. You must see this truck to appreciate. You can e mail me for more pics and questions. The only reason im selling is because i have to many toys! I dont have to sell but if the price is right i will. I can guarantee you wont find another one like it. So good luck bidding! The truck is local pick up only, no shipping. Sold as is with no warranty. Thanks for looking. Jason.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
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.
