1969 Chevy Truck Pro Street Custom 454 on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
'69 Chevy C-10, 454, Powerglide, narrowed 9" ford rear end. I'm selling this truck for a friend who does not have an ebay account, but he has to sell his baby for financial reasons. He has owned this truck for 20 years, and has hundreds of hours of work in it. He's a body man and has put many hours into the body work, you will not find many other trucks as straight as this one.
Body and paint: The top has been chopped 3 inches, the windshield has been laid back, the hood has been sectioned 1 inch. Tailgate has been seamlessly welded with a custom rear valence panel. Custom fabricated inner wheel wells and removable panels inside the bed cover the fuel tank and battery (the pictures have one of the panels taken off to show how they're removable). Flush mounted front LED turn signals and LED 3rd brake light. 4 coats of PPG Torch Red, 4 coats of clear, color sanded and buffed. Ghost flames inside the bed. Pictures really don't do the paint justice. Engine: 454, built by Budlong Engines (one of the high end shops here). Comp Cams Thumper Cam, gear drive, oval port heads (781 casting), Performer RPM air gap intake, 750 vacuum secondary holley carb, MSD distributor. About 10:1 compression. Runs on 91 octane pump gas, doesn't overheat, The truck is VERY fast, but not too radical that it's not streetable. Drivetrain: Powerglide, 3500 RPM Hughes converter, narrowed 9" ford rear end with 4:56 gears and traction-lock. Chassis: Frame has been back-halved with an Art Morrison rear subframe, 33x21.5 Mickey Thompson tires and Weld pro star wheels. Front suspension has been lowered with tubular lower control arms, and 2 inch dropped springs, rebuilt with all polyurethane bushings and converted to Disc brakes. Interior: Autometer gauges, Custom upholstery, Rockford-Fosgate amp and 10" sub woofer. All new wiring harness. new weather stripping. Issues: two small chips in the paint, one on the left side of the bed (pictured), and one on the right side of the bed (looks exactly like the one in the picture). One crack in the windshield, about 3" long, on the upper right corner, from when the windshield was installed (pictured) Other than these minor issues the truck is in show condition. Unfortunately the owner does not have time to fix these issues and he needs the truck gone so he is willing to sell it for way less than he has in it. The truck is also for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thanks for looking! |

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
