No Reserve! California Truck | 350 V8 | Auto | Gorgeous Wood Bed | Nice Driver! on 2040-cars
Fargo, North Dakota, United States
This 1972 Chevy C-10 stepside short box truck comes to us straight from sunny California. It's nicely restored, with a shiny base coat/clear coat finish, a new oak bed, and a strong running 350 CID V8 (later model engine, appears to be a 1992 with an Edelbrock intake and carb setup; a nice eBayer informed me that, based on the VIN, this was a 6-cylinder truck in it's original form) 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 smoothly and decisively, the 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). New heater / defroster controller installed, along with a new upper radiator hose. It's very fun to cruise in - the new turbo mufflers give it a throaty growl. The brightwork on this truck is in good shape - much of the trim, bumpers, etc. seems to have been replaced with new aftermarket trim. Very nice and shiny. Additional Specifications

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
