Metropolis, Illinois, United States

 This truck is a true K10 4x4, but there was no category for that so I it listed under C10. I am the third owner. The previous owner stated  he bought the truck in 1976 and drove it until he reached 100,000 (miles sometime in the early 90`s) and parked it in a shed and bought a newer truck. It has only been driven a total of 293 miles since. The exterior has been repainted in the original medium olive green color with the white added for contrast. It has new inner front fenders, side moldings, bumpers, light lenses, window/cab/door rubber, polyurethane body bushings, decals(engine/jacking/positraction/disc brake), windshield, stainless mirrors(still in box). The mirrors will go with the truck, I decided not to drill holes in the doors for them in case the new owner did not like the larger style mirror. This truck has power steering, power brakes, positraction, gauges, factory tow hooks, (original blue) locking front hubs, and a tire carrier for inside the bed(not installed but goes with). This truck was originally a LONG BED but the frame has been professionally shortened. The bed is all new sheet metal  including both bedsides, front panel, and tailgate, with wood floor added for looks. The cab, doors, fenders, radiator support, and hood are all vintage 1972 GM. The cab has had the rockers, and corners replaced with new metal. This truck is not a bondo bomb it is all steel. The inside has new carpet, seat cover, and dash pad. The vintage jack and AM radio is still there but radio does not work. The heater, gauges, horn, wipers, and lights work. The truck drives and stops as it should. It has new front calipers, front rubber lines, pads, rear shoes, rear wheel cylinders, rear rubber and steel lines The tires were almost new when the truck was parked and hold air fine but they do have some weather cracking. They would be fine for occasional driving but I would not go on a trip and trust them. I show a quarter in the tread for depth. The engine is all stock with a new fuel pump, belts, hoses, wires, coil, and heater core. It still has the front half of the original single exhaust, the rear and muffler is new and quiet. This truck still has its cast iron gear driven transfer case. This truck sold new in Mayfield Ky. I have the owners manual, a dealer brochure, a 1972 accessory brochure, and the metal dealership logo that was still on the truck when I got it. All will go to the buyer. This truck had never been wrecked or painted on anywhere before its restoration. I know there is more, feel free to ask any questions or look at it in person. This truck is sold as-is where-is with no warranty. I require a $150.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction end. The remainder in CASH(in person) or cashiers check (only if being picked up by transport). If paying by cashiers check the truck will stay in my possession until the funds clear my bank. I am sorry but my bank holds the funds for 5 to 7 days to clear, their rules not mine. I have a clear title in my name and in my hands. Again this was a longbed truck that had its frame shortened, with a new short bed installed. I will add photos of the mirrors, manuals, and tire carrier. No reserve auction please bid to win. I can store for a short time if needed. Also I can assist in loading if needed. This truck is also for sale locally, but if there is a bid on it I will let the auction continue and not sell locally. I will not end the auction early so please don`t ask. If you want it now use the buy it now. I have a lot invested in this truck and I know what it is worth and will not accept any low-ball offers. This is a rare truck and they are not easy to find. Any ??? please ask.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
