1985 Chevy Silverado C10 Short Bed V8 Automatic Original 85 Chevrolet 305 350 on 2040-cars
Bassett, Virginia, United States
1985 Chevy Silverado, C10, Short Bed, Fleet Side, Basically an all original rust free truck (garage kept). The only thing that isn't original is the front spoiler, its a few inches wider than stock which I think looks better. Also, I had new exhaust put on it with 2.5" pipe and a 40 series flowmasters with duals turned down behind the rear tire (sounds good). The original engine (305) has been rebuilt to stock specs and has less than 20k miles on the engine. I just put a new refurbished carburetor on it. I wanted to keep it original, so I bought a refurbished carburetor like what came on it from the factory (these carburetors are expensive). This truck has the original paint with some minor scratches but overall remarkable condition to be a 30 year old truck. Does have tilt, cruise control, power steering, power windows, power disc brakes and power door locks which all work as they should and the clock still works. Inside the bed and the entire undercarriage is in amazing condition as well. Its obvious this truck wasn't used for a truck because it rarely hauled anything. This truck has air conditioning but was discharged when the engine was rebuilt and never recharged the system which was about four years ago. The entire truck inside and out is remarkably clean including the engine bay. The entire cooling system has been flushed and just replaced the antifreeze. The oil change has approx. 35 miles on it right now. Truck still has the factory truck rallies but will need tires soon. The headliner kept falling down so I just removed it. Once again this truck is rust free and almost as original as you can get. Runs and handles great and there are NO leaks of any kind. I can deliver to the east coast region at an agreed upon price. If you want me to deliver it must be discussed before the end of auction.

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.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
