Custom Chevrolet S-10 S10 2 Door. 350 Small Block Professionally Done. Running! on 2040-cars
Springfield, Missouri, United States
|
Hey guys, what you are looking at is a truck I have had for years and a few years back I began customizing it and dropped in a 350 small block engine that was sent to GM and completely re-done before we built it. Im not trying to conceal anything but the truck is as is of course. I will go over everything that's been done and might need completion. Obviously it needs a new paint job. The entire truck has been sanded in the past but could use a good sanding before taking it for paint. The back is grey simply due to the fact I sprayed it down with a primer to prevent any serious rust issues from occurring. There is no significant rust on the body of the truck ie. holes, soft spots, damage. The truck has been kept in the garage at the house for the past couple years now so no significant exposure to the elements for some time. The lights work and most of the gauges are connected. The speedometer needs to be reconnected. The interior needs a little cosmetic work/finishing but nothing too serious unless you hate everything about it of course. In the photos it is very dusty due to leaving the windows down while in the garage. The door handles have been shaved off and it has door poppers set up but the main box is out that sends the signal to pop. There is a sunroof installed that is very big and very nice in the summer/night. It is manual and it can come out completely. It does not leak. The rear end has been tubbed for larger tires/wheels. The top of the bed is one solid piece so if you want to get fancy with a paint job you can. A tailgate is still on the back which does open up and locks. The front end has a custom valance, chrome bumper, and a custom billet grille. Im not sure you can even find those anymore since everyone who sees it wants to buy it off of me. The glass does have a nice size crack in the lower right passenger side from a battery falling out of a tool (awesome). The rear window is lexan with a spot for a license plate. The top break light on the cab has also been shaved off. I would try to complete this project as the most expensive and time consuming parts are primarily completed but I no longer have a lift, tools, and shop to work on it in. Just my garage and with a small child and a wife pushing me to get it out of the garage! Lets get to the expensive work.
Engine: Edlebrock Heads and Aluminum Valve Covers Edlebrock Carb intake 850 Holley 4 Barrell K-N chrome breather Electric Cooling fan 3/4 Insy Cam Shaft Dual exhaust 400 Turbo Auto transmission Custom Wheels and Tires Custom Shifter mounted in floor. Custom Hood for more airflow Before the engine was installed the body had around 115,000 miles on it. The interior is all changed now so I don't have the exact number. This engine was built and installed professionally by one of the head technicians at Reliable Chevrolet in Springfield MO. I won't publicly post his name but he has 15+ years experience and is a pro. I am not a pro and wanted this engine to be solid. A couple things on the engine is that I had planned to install a bigger electric fan simply because when you idle for too long it does get fairly hot in the summer. This thing sounds like a monster when you start it up, gas it, or idle. People simply don't expect the sound this thing emits. Most people turn to look expecting to see an older hot rod I am told. If you want to see this thing in person you can contact me via eBay and we can schedule a time. Im taking a big loss selling this thing so cheaply simply due to the cost of the engine which has very low miles on it. Under 100 on the engine but it does start and runs great. Even though I have stopped working on it I do fire it up at least every week and take it for a neighborhood drive. If you are not local/driving distance to pick this up in person I will require you to pay in full via paypal and set up your own shipper. (I will do whatever I can to assist but will not book or be responsible for shipping). Again this is a project truck, as-is, and I would suggest using a trailer to transport it simply due to missing mirrors and it screams getting pulled over initially. If you have any questions feel free to message and ask and I will do my best to answer. |

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way
Fri, Nov 7 2014The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?
Thu, Jun 23 2016The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
