This auction is for a 1970 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck. It features a fresh 350 CID engine bored .030", Crane Cam 268H,rebuilt cast heads, headers, Weiand intake & Edelbrock carb, gear drive timing chain,Melling HV oil pump, HEI ignition system, Flex-a-lite dual fan setup. The engine and transmission have less than 4000 miles since rebuilt. The trans is a beefed up TH350, with shift kit.The motor runs very nicely, no smoke, no leaks. This truck also has a new ClassicAuto Air PerfectFit AC& heat system installed (less than 500 miles ago).
The suspension has been lowered via springs, the front end was rebuilt. The rear end is a 12 bolt with 3.55 gears and was rebuilt .The truck recently had a power disc brake conversion (front) done as well as new rear brakes. It also had a power steering conversion done as well, these conversions have less than 1000 miles on them.The tires are in good shape and are mounted on 15" 6 lug Rally wheels. The truck rides and handles very nicely.The undercarriage is pretty clean ,detailed and presentable.
The body was repainted in 2011 according to previous owner,it is a metallic red that looks more maroon than red. The paint could use a proper wetsand & buff to cut some obvious orange peel and smooth out the paint surface. The only body issues I see are on the roof, they smoothed out the rear seam on roof and did some rust repairs in the rain gutter areas (typical C10 rust) that look like they are bubbling back out. There is also some surface rust on inside of roof that was not properly repaired and will need to be addressed.I have been associated with this truck since early 2012 and these issues were present then and have remained in the same stages since. These are the only areas that I see any issue with. There are also a few surface scratches on exterior that will easily buff out as they are not thru to base coat.The hood is a fiberglass 3" cowl hood, the tailgate has been shaved, the rear has been rollpanned.The tonneau cover fits tight and does keep the bed dry. The bed has an upholstered pad(removeable) . The exterior trim looks to be in great condition.
The interior is very nice, very recent upholstery job. The seat is tweed & vinyl , the headliner matches as do the door panels. The gauge cluster is all new Autometer analog gauges (just done). The wing windows have been eliminated as well, the rear window is a slider.
All in all this is a very good starter hotrod pickup. All the heavy lifting has been done with over $25,000 invested over 2 owners. It is a truck that can either be driven the way it is or spend a few more bucks , fix the roof and take it to the next level, either way its an awesome deal!
I am representing the owner in this auction, I have done a lot of work to this truck and know it very well. If you have any questions you can either email thru this ad or call me during the day at 954-782-2263 evenings at 954-401-3480 ask for Bob

Recharge Wrap-up: Volt makes up third of Quebec Chevy dealerships sales, Tesla seeks Aussie talent
Wed, Nov 5 2014A Chevrolet dealership in Quebec has had the Volt make up 35 percent of its sales so far this year. Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon, Quebec received recognition for the feat at the 2014 Electric Vehicle Conference, where it won the award for Leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Dealership. To sell that many, Bourgeois Chevrolet had to import used Volts from the US, and keeps about 50 units on the lot in various configurations. The conference also saw Park Avenue Nissan of Brossard, Quebec win the Leading Battery Electric Vehicle Dealership Award, and Loch Lomond Mitsubishi of Saint John, New Brunswick receive the award for Electric Vehicle Dealership Inspiration.

Ford, General Motors and Toyota have announced that they will shut down their Australian factories, leaving behind a lot of unused talent. Tesla recently held a "Recruiting Open House" in Melbourne for engineers to fill positions at its plant in Fremont, CA, where they will be paired with other Aussie engineers already on staff.

Valeo recently showed an electric turbo it plans to supply to an unnamed automaker at a fuel economy showcase event at the EPA's National Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Lab. Electric turbochargers have the advantage of greatly reduced lag when compared to exhaust-driven turbos. They also work well when paired with cylinder deactivation, providing a much-needed boost when driving on a grade, which can help reduce the need for cylinders to reactivate. Independence from the exhaust system also makes it easier to package the turbocharger wherever there is room. Read more from Navigant Research.

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
