This is a highly desirable and rare 1972 Chevy C-10 stepside short box truck. It's nicely restored, with a very nice base coat/clear coat paint, brand new oak bed, and a strong 350 CID V8 (later model engine, appears to be a 1992 with an Edelbrock intake and carb setup) and smooth shifting automatic transmission.

I bought the truck in Palm Springs, California this winter, and spent the winter enjoying driving it all around the desert. It was a super daily-driver for my winter "snow bird" cruising. Everywhere you go with this truck, people react with a smile and a wave. It cruises smooth and straight down the road.

It shifts smooth, power steering and brakes work great. This Chevy required very little sorting on my part, which is a bit unusual with collector cars. I replaced a valve cover gasket, and a few little details here and there, along with adding a new water pump (the day before loading it on the auto transport semi, the water pump seal failed and leaked coolant, so I had my mechanic in California install a brand new water pump).

Drives and rides like a much newer truck - very fun to cruise in, with a whole lot of power and performance on tap. The new turbo mufflers give it a throaty growl.

Check out the brightwork on this truck, its in excellent shape - much of the trim, bumpers, etc. seems to have been replaced with aftermarket trim. Very nice!

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Can 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

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
