1969 Chevy C20 Longhorn Edition on 2040-cars
Beatrice, Nebraska, United States
We bought the truck last summer for our 16 year old son as a restoration project. He has decided he doesn’t want to “fix up the truck”…so we bought a 1986 Chevy K10 that was already done. The 1969 is the most iconic year for the vintage Chevy Trucks, in my mind.
Here are the assets of the truck (which was named Bulla by our son) The truck is a great truck mechanically Everything works as it should It starts Drives nice Doesn’t use or leak any fluids The tires are in good shape The rims are very nice. Is a Factory A/C Truck – which means the pieces are there to run A/C this summer. It will need a Compressor. It is the Rare Longhorn edition – The truck has a 8’6”bed. In 1969, the bed would have been wood. Somewhere along the way someone welded in a diamond plate bed. It has no RUST inside the bed – on the floor or sides. The frame is solid.
The liabilities: Passenger side rocker is virtually gone Minor Dings & Dents Pinhole rust on the outside of the bed – all has been treated with Rust Kill Rust on Drip Rail
It could be a great daily driver. It has a great patina to it and we get compliments all the time. This year of truck has each andevery piece reproduced – so it is a easy project truck, if someone wanted to restore it. Redone it is valued around $10-15,000 according to Hagerty. Here are some current prices of the repair parts from LMC Truck’s Website – https://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/CB/full.aspx?Page=4
As you can see the parts are very reasonable, if you felt thedesire to restore this truck. |

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
