1984 Chevy Silverado K10 4x4 Lifted Street Rod Factory A/c on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States

I would jump in this beast today and drive it anywhere, it's never left me stranded!! Actually, I think it has once or twice, but it's a hell of a truck none the less. Quite a bit of motor work was done a few years back, maybe 8 years ago or better, but only about 20k miles since then. Did a 350 sbc with a mild cam with series 7 ignition system. The guys over at State Auto Body; disassembled, cut, welded, sanded, painted, reassembled, added all new rubber seals, a back glass, cowl induction hood, washed and polished, and probably shaved a few years off their life in the process, for $5500 of my hard earned money! I drove it with a smile on my face...... for about a week, before I parked it. Before I know it, I let the truck sit for over a year, and it wasn't the dream I remembered. Well two brand new fuel tanks, two sending units, a transfer valve, and a shiny new fuel selector button in the cab fixed that!! After many enjoyable miles, I started noticing a chatter in the rear end. I decided to tow it up to Advanced Driveline and have it looked at. Sure enough, the rear end was starting to go. I could just give it a quick little fix to get me back on the road, or I could maybe beef it up a little bit. Like any other self respecting man, I chose the latter, and decided not to waste the tow bill! Nine days later, with a smile on my face, and no lunch money in my pocket, I was the proud owner of 4.56 gears; front and rear, lockers, custom front and rear driveshafts, and a shiny new mediocre looking set of Warn manual hubs. All was great, but now I found myself in the inevitable spot of any redneck; "but honey, I HAVE to have a new transmission, don't you understand, I JUST got gears!!!!" She wasn't happy, but the guys over at Transmax sure were!! I swapped out the old turbo 350 with a 700R4 with the bowser total cure package, and all the other goodies. I was happy to be on the road, and the engine was happy with the overdrive addition! Cruises nice now, about 2k at 60mph. Stopped by Ground Level Customs and had a full custom stereo put in it, with a nice clean sounding set of 10's behind the seat. Then I Drove her over to Extreme Auto Upholstery and had a new seat, dashboard, door panels, carpet, visors, steering wheel, and a headliner put in. Recently added a gear reduction starter, new shocks, a power steering pump, and a brand new non shiny set of Fuel Hostage 20's on 35" tires. The truck could use a few little things here and there to REALLY set it apart. Nothing makes the truck non drivable by any stretch of the imagination, but this is everything that I think could use attention. It still has the original V belt set up, and it's just something I've never gotten around to doing. It doesn't necessarily not work, I just think it's very sub par for the rest of the truck. Also, as an added bonus it likes to holler at you now and then on start up, no matter what you do for the belt adjustment. I also think an electric fan would be a great addition, along with a good clean up of the engine bay in general. There is a crack in the front grille, a crease in the front bumper. There are a handful of paint flaws around the truck. Majority of them not noticeable though unless pointed out. The transfer case started leaking here about a month ago, and to be honest I haven't even climbed under it to see exactly what's going on. The truck doesn't have any seat belts. I couldn't see putting them back in the nice new interior, and never got around to order new ones. It has hooker headers, but they're starting to show their age. I think a good ceramic coat job would really pop. The exhaust is a very nice sounding flowmaster setup. There are no exhaust leaks or anything to speak of, but that would be something I would change, could I keep it. They're just showing age. I could tell stories all day about this beauty, but then I might change my mind about selling it. You wouldn't be happy, and neither would the old lady. I had to post it for sale so I could start getting dinner again!!! You really have to see the truck in person. I've posted this thing on and off over the years, and just about the time I find a buyer I can't bring myself to sell it. I recently bought a new jeep that has sadly taken the car rotation spot from Old Red though. It's painful to see her sit. If you enjoy this truck half as much as I have, it will be worth every penny! Hell, the expensive shit is already done. I think the joy for me was the journey, come buy the destination!! Feel free to ask any questions, and if possible, come by and look at the truck before the auction ends. 407-443-8889

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Chevrolet Camaro in Korea - Click above for high-resolution image
There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
