V8-Powered Modified 1995 Chevrolet S-10

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The Chevrolet S-10 was a little truck that could get a lot done. Released for the 1982 model year and continually upgraded throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, the S-10 offered buyers the flexibility of a pickup, without the size and expense of a larger truck.

By 1995, the S-10 was available with a regular or extended cab, a short or a long box, and in Standard and uplevel LS trim. A base four-cylinder and two optional V6s provided the power, and were backed by 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic overdrive transmissions.

During its production run the S-10 became one of America’s leading compact pickups, and today they are appreciated for their period styling, mechanical simplicity — and potential for hot rodding.

This two-wheel-drive example is finished in Black with Graphite upholstery, wears 15” aftermarket wheels and a cowl-induction hood, and is reportedly powered by a swapped-in, modified V8 backed by an automatic transmission. The interior is equipped with racing bucket seats with harnesses, as well as a tachometer and dash-mounted gauges to keep tabs on the big V8, which was dyno tested in 2016 to the tune of 460 corrected horsepower.

This 1995 Chevrolet S-10 is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a bonded Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
