Up for auction is my 1978 chevy c 10. This is my personal truck that I have owned for 19 years. I have touched every nut and bolt on this truck and can answer any question you may have. I purchased it from Virginia in 1994 and drove during the summers only until 2008 and took it completely apart and restored/rebuilt everything. The body was as near perfect as they come. It was stripped and painted in pieces with all new window glass and nos trim and weatherstrip. The paint was sanded and buffed and looks excellent. It is a factory 454/turbo 400 (rare in a shortbox) truck with pw, pl, factory gauge package, a/c which is not hooked up. It comes with a new sure fit system from vintage air which covers the opening on the fire wall looks very clean when finished. The power windows run slow. Motor was done in 2010. It is bored 30 over, small cam, holly street avenger carb, headers and flowmaster exhaust, all fresh, nice street motor,runs strong. Tranny was rebuilt with 2200 daco convertor. Rear end is a factory 12 bolt with a new eaton posi unit and richmond 3:73 gears. Braking system is all new with stainless lines. The interior is tasteful and clean. The truck has air ride in the front only. The system could be used for front and rear. The rear has a flip kit and 2 inch blocks. I was happy with the way it rode and the stance so I didn't bother doing the air ride in the back. The wheels are coys 20's in the back and 18's in the front. This entire truck was gone through including, motor, tranny, brakes, suspension, body and paint. Everything was completed in 2010. I have piles of receipts of the work/parts for the truck. The plan was to keep it forever but I need a back seat so I am building a 67 Nova vehicle. Was treated better than most peoples children (for sure it's cleaner). If it hits reserve it goes if not it will stay in my garage. This is not some truck being "flipped" on e-bay. It is my baby with a lot of pride and money into it. Note my perfect feedback. Buyer is responsible for all shipping. I have a local shipper I can put you in touch with. You are welcome to come look at it or e-mail with questions. I am located in Buffalo, NY, zip code, 14224. Thanks.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
