1995 S10 Custom
Lorelei

Up for auction is Lorelei a one off custom from Fod's Garage. This beautiful S10 was completed, and made it's debut in Virginia, June of 2013. Where it won best engineered, best interior, and was shot for two magazines. The idea behind the build was to infuse the mini truck and hot rod styles. The truck was purchased used in 96 by a friend who has done paint work for the shop in the past. He began modifications and showed the truck in various forms over the years. I then purchased the truck and took it to it's current state. With only 49xxx miles she has lived a charmed life.
The description is lengthy but I want the buyer as informed as possible and see the effort and quality parts put into this build. Take time to look over the pictures here and more on the Fod's Garage website. We provide turn key customs as well and commissioned builds. If you have any questions please contact me before placing a bid (fod@fodsgarage.com or 812-216-0635). Vehicle is for sale locally and auction may end at any time prior to reserve being met.

Exterior
Starting with one of the most dramatic modifications being the tailgate area. The tailgate has been leaned forward to emulate a 55 Chevy Nomad. Pods were then constructed out of sheet metal to house 55 taillights and form the "fin". No fiberglass or universal fit parts, all hand crafted specifically for this build. Doors have been suicided and open to nearly 90 degrees. The door handles were shaved and drivers side is operated by remote. Filler panels cover the stock mirror locations and now have 55 mirrors in their place. A steel cowl induction hood adds to the hot rod style. Under side of hood is finished in satin black for a factory appearance. Headlights, grille, and front bumper are from a 98 Envoy. The grille is all chrome with a 55 hood emblem replacing the bowtie. Fresh DuPont paint wraps the truck in a custom white pearl and Mini Cooper blue with a black spray in liner. Original 56 Bel Air trim was cut down and reshape to fit the contours of the body then re-polished. You might see other trucks out there with painted on trim but not the real thing! Fitting original trim is simply too difficult making this truck stand out from the rest. The truck also has a traditional body drop, or channeled depending on who you talk to. The floor of the bed was raised an addition two inches to retain a flat floor with no bridge required.
Suspension
Font suspension has lowered spindles and Firestone air bags. The rear is a 4 link setup also using Firestones. Air tank and two compressors are located under the bed. Solenoids with 3/8 lines provide front and rear control. Rolling attire is made up of 17" torque thrust wheels on all four corners and fresh Zexius tires. 225/45 on the front and 245/45 on the rear. 
Drivetrain
Power comes from a throttle body 4.3 v6 with JBA headers. The truck originally had a 5 speed manual that has been replaced with a 700r4. 
Interior
The inside is packed with custom treatments throughout. The dash is from a 55 Chevy and has been cut down to fit. The cd player and air ride controls are hidden behind a panel in the dash so they don't distract from the clean lines. The instrument cluster and speaker pods have been relocated and glove box has also been removed. Gauges are custom pearl white Belera II from Classic Instruments. A pearl white faced air pressure gauge is installed in the stock clock location. A 65 mustang heat and a/c unit is housed in a recess in the dash for a factory look. Unit has not been hooked up. Having heat and air in a body dropped mini truck is a BIG deal, as this is usually one of the first things to go to accommodate the front tires. Steering input is done through a custom steering wheel made by Con2r mounted to a tilt column. Prior to interior installation the cab was treated with sound and heat deadening material. Carpet is a short loop in blue from ACC  matching carpet from the 50's and 60's. Sill plates are a brushed stainless for a factory feel. Low back bucket seats have you riding in comfort. Staying true to the mini truck scene audio equipment was not forgotten. Behind the seats you will find 3 Rockford Fosgate p3d10 subs powered by a p1000 amp. Also in the amp rack are two p200's. One for the highs mounted in the pillars and the other for mids in the doors. Still leaving room for a driver over 6 foot tall. Door panels were made using arm rests, trim, and window cranks from a 55. Interior treatment is finished off with a suspended headliner, 55 visors, and rear view mirror.

 All shipping costs are the responsibility of winning bidder. Deposit and payment arrangements are required within 48 hours of auction completion. Vehicle will not be released until payment is made in cash or clears my bank. Truck has a clear Indiana title.
 
Legal type stuff
As is with all custom vehicles there may be items that do not conform to your local laws. Custom/hot rod vehicles are not factory production units and therefore many not perform as such. These could, but do not necessarily include: interior or air ride leaks, altered ride and handling characteristics, decreased visibility, modified or removed safety items, deeming them off road use only. Therefore all altered vehicles are sold for off road show purposes only. Fod's Garage is not responsible for any damage or injuries caused while operating this vehicle. This truck is in good working order but is sold as is with no warranty or guarantees.

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

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
