1988 Chevy S-10 Pickup (ex Us Airforce Truck) on 2040-cars
South Elgin, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is my ex US airforce S-10 this truck has 43510 original miles on it most of its time was sitting on one of several airforce bases first on the east coast when new then sent to grissom AFB in central Indiana where picked up from. I then had to put a fuel pump in and had the fuel tank cleaned out of all the old stale gasoline added a new battery, door weather stripping, window felt and tracks, tires, carpet and heater core. The truck has a 2.5 liter four cylinder engine hooked up to a 700R4 overdrive trans the truck drives great its not a power plant but gets great fuel mileage and I wouldn't hesitate to drive this anywhere in the US. The color is the original airforce strata blue as seen in the pics the clear coat is gone on the hood and roof from sitting out in the sun for years the paint has many dings and small scratches there is a bit of rust on the cab corners and the corner of the DS door but no holes or rust through. Its pretty hard to find a truck like this in the Midwest and shipping a rust free one from the west coast is now well over a thousand dollars. Its a very reliable truck and the only reason its being sold is because I just purchased a full size classic chevy truck and have no room for it as for the price try to buy a truck now days with the low mileage and clean body this truck has in the Midwest you would be lucky to get one at three times the price if you are looking for a show truck or a truck to haul a five thousand pound boat and trailer this is not the truck you want if you want a truck you can drive anywhere economically and not worry about breaking down this is the perfect vehicle. I have hauled paver bricks and firewood with this truck and it handles the weight better than one would expect it to there is no cracked or broken glass anywhere on the truck. You can see the PS window crank is not on the truck in the pics the clip was lost when removiving the door panel for installing the window felt channel s it will be replaced before the truck sells. It also comes with the original matching fiberglass cap and two spare tires one window is out of the cap it was broken from a rock thrown from a snowblower this truck has been heavily undercoated sometime in its past it has a military spec 20 gallon gas tank and heavy duty suspension the truck is up for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if it should sell locally any questions call me at eight four seven four six eight nine six seven six.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
