I HAVE UP FOR AUCTION A SUPER COOL AND BEAUTIFUL 1970 CHEVROLET C10 LONGBED PICKUP POWERED BY A REAL 1968 CORVETTE L88 427 FOUR BOLT MAIN MOTOR, CASTING # ( 3935439 ) WITH THE FITTING FOR AN OIL COOLER LINE ABOVE THE OIL FILTER HOUSING THAT ONLY THE L88 RACE MOTOR HAD. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE MOTOR, ONLY 200 L88 CORVETTES WERE BUILT IN 1968. THE LAST TWO ORIGINAL 1969 L88 CORVETTES SOLD FOR $600,000 AT MECUM AND RECENTLY A 1967 L88 CORVETTE SOLD FOR 3.2 MILLION DOLLARS. THE MOTOR IS BALANCED AND BLUE PRINTED RUNNING 9.5 TO 1 COMPRESSION, HAS EDELBROCK RPM PERFORMER ALUMINUM HEADS, INTAKE AND CAM, ROLLER ROCKERS, MSD DISTRIBUTOR AND BOX, 850 HOLLEY DOUBLE PUMPER AND SANDERSON HEADERS. THE MOTOR IS COOLED BY A GRIFFIN ALUMINUM RADIATOR WITH TWIN ELECTRIC FANS. THE TRANSMISSION IS A TURBO 400 WITH A 3,200 STALL TORQUE CONVERTER AND AN EXTRA CAPACITY TRANS PAN. IT HAS A NEW CUSTOM MADE AND BALANCED DRIVE SHAFT. THE TRUCK ALSO HAS AN OIL COOLER AND TRANS COOLER MOUNTED UNDERNEATH. IT HAS A POSI REAR AXLE.
THIS MOTOR RUNS EXCELLENT AND SOUNDS AWSOME! THERE ARE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THE MOTOR SINCE BEING BUILT. IT WAS COMPLETED ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO AND HAS JUST BEEN DRIVEN TO SHOWS. IT DRIVES VERY NICELY DOWN THE ROAD WITH TIGHT STEERING AND SMOOTH RIDE.
THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN CALIFORNIA AND HAS A RUST FREE UNDERCARRIAGE, THE ROCKERS WERE REPLACED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PAINTED, THERE ARE ONLY A FEW CHIPS AND A COUPLE OF SMALL BUBBLES IN THE PAINT ON THE LOWER PART OF EACH DOOR ( VISIBLE IN THE PHOTOS) THE BED IS STRAIGHT AND RUST FREE BUT IS SCRATCHED UP FROM HAULING THINGS IN IT, IT WAS NOT REPAINTED WHEN THE REST OF THE TRUCK WAS DONE. A SPRAY IN BED LINER WILL REALLY MAKE THIS TRUCK SHOW READY! IT DOES COME WITH A TONEAU COVER BUT IT COULD STAND TO BE REPLACED, SOME SNAPS HAVE PULLED OUT OF IT IN A NUMBER OF PLACES AND IT'S A BIT STIFF NOW.
THERE ARE A FULL SET OF GAUGES TO MONITOR THE MOTOR, THE ONLY ITEMS NOT WORKING ARE THE HORN AND THE HEATER CORE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS YOU CAN CALL ME AT 415-797-2531. IF YOU HAVE A GOOD BUY IT NOW OFFER THAT IS POSSIBLE. THE TRUCK IS LOCATED IN SAN RAFAEL CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
