What I have here for auction is a 2003 Chevrolet S10 work truck. I have had this truck for 4 years. bought it when it had 97,000 miles on it. I went to school in 2011 and drove it to and from school for the first year putting 40,000 miles on it. After the first year of school, it developed a intake gasket leak. I had repaired the problem but a week or so later the engine jumped time and it blew up. It now has an engine with 46,000 miles out of a 2005-2007 Chevrolet Silverado. a week later the original fuel pump went out and put in a brand new $350 fuel pump from rock auto.com in it. during the swap, the steel fuel line kinked and we had to use a high pressure rubber line as a temporary fix until I got out of school to repair. it ran fine for a few months without any problems and then it started having issues running.
It was confirmed that the rubber fuel line we put in was the reason the truck is having a difficulty running. I have since bought a new steel fuel line but have not had it installed since I had bought a car that averages 40MPG's , I have no motivation to fix it. my loss could be your gain . The truck has been sitting for roughly 6-8 months since I have purchased my 4 cylinder car.
What it needs to get running: Steel fuel line installed (as I said, I have the part) Oil Pan Gasket (have part to install) runs with this but drips oil on occasion 2-3 Shift Solenoid (completed a trans flush and some gunk inside burnt the solenoid up, have part to install) driver side wheel bearing (have part to install.
Aside from that, it needs a new windshield, rear view mirror and dash cluster cover. I have the dash cluster part to repair, just haven't installed it. the windshield cluster and rear view mirror broke during the summer due to it sitting in over 100 degree heat all summer. the bed damage was from where I avoided to get hit at a gas station and got hung up on a pump barrier. truck has been in one accident right after I bought it but was repaired by local body shop.
I have extra parts to go with it that I will dig out of the house when the truck is sold. I do have a lien on the vehicle as I owe 2,500 on it so after purchasing the vehicle, we would have to wait a week or 2 before I can get the title from the bank to send it to you.
if you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. this truck is sold as is with no warranty implied, will have to be trailered out of the property. I do have this truck listed elsewhere so I can/will end this listing early if bought outside of ebay. good luck bidding and don't hesitate to ask me anything about the truck.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
