 1972 C10 Pickup, 350 V8, 3 speed automatic transmission. Runs, drives, stops with no problems.  I bought this off ebay from a guy in Colorado Feb 2010, had it shipped to Michigan, and drove it around for about 9 months, put about 2K miles on it.  Everything on the truck worked very well, no problems.  I took it off the road and started the body work in early 2011.  All side molding were removed and the holes were welded, painted the frame, replaced all of the cab mounts.  The floors and rockers were all replaced with LMC panels.  The cab is nearly ready for paint, box sides still need work.  Box front panel and tailgate are both new LMC parts.  We removed the original gas tank and seat, but still have them, along with the original seat belts.  The original gas port on the side of the cab has been welded closed.  We also have cloth seats from a 2001 Chevy Silverado, which have integral seat belts in them, the drivers seats does have a few small holes in the fabric that require repair.  We have the original lights that were on the truck when purchased, along with all new front, tail and side lights from LMC, minus the headlights, those are original.  The LMC lights are still in their boxes, not installed. We have the LMC Suburban gas tank and the gas tank straps, we were planning to move the gas port to the wheel well, but never started the install.  The old gas lines still run into the cab, and a temporary gas tank allows it to be run.   The windows have all be junked, and the only windows that come with this truck are the side wings, no other glass included.  We junked the grill that was in this truck, it was in poor condition, so there is no grill included.  We do have a new LMC steel front bumper, not chromed.  The tires on the truck are great shop tires, they have held air throughout 2 years of sitting in the garage.  They have some tread remaining, but would obviously need to be replaced for a driver.  The muffler and tail pipe were junk, so they were cut off and scraped.  The exhaust manifolds to crossover are still on the truck and they are solid.  The pictures show all of the parts that I have for this truck, the original door panels and handles are all there.  New control/idler arms included, not installed.  I have most of my LMC receipts available for the buyer.  The photos of the body in primer/filler are the current status for this truck.  There are two photos of this truck in blue paint, on trailer - this is the condition of the truck when I bought it in 2010.

This is listed as a project, no warranty or guarantees of any kind.  I've done my best to describe it, and you can contact me to review before bidding.  This is an auction only, and high bid on ebay wins it.  No low ballers, and no international bidders, and no bidders with less that 5 positive ebay transactions or I'll just cancel your bid.  What you see in the photos is everything that you get - I do not guarantee anything on the truck is running perfect at this time, it's been in a state of tear down and build up for about 2 years, so don't expect to go for a drive down the highway with this truck.  Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, I will not ship it.

$200 deposit due within 48 hours of the end of the auction.  Pickup and full payment, cash only, due within 2 weeks of the end of the auction.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
