1962 Chevy C10 Shortbed Fleetside Pickup - Classic Hot Rod Truck on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
"Where were you in '62" - as the advertisements for 'American Graffiti' use to say. Well, in 1962 this beautiful Chevy C10 shortbed pickup was created. There are many classic pickup's for sale here on Ebay, but what sets this apart from so many others is that it has been in California since day one. In fact, I have restored the "black plates" which have been on this since 1963 !
The truck was painted a urethane 2 stage teal metallic that is vibrant and classic at the same time. The paint looks fantastic and gets compliments all the time. Out back I chose to have world famous 'Gaylords' make a fiberglass hard tonneau cover , then painted it to match the rest of the truck. Inside the bed is as clean as the rest . Stained and multi varnished oak wood strips , separated with chromed steel dividers really give detail . It is what you would expect from a vehicle this clean. Inside the cab has the dash, cab, and doors painted body color. The seat was upholstered in a black leather and velour. In is very comfortable and will not hurt your back after a long road trip . The seat legs, emergency brake handle, accelerator pedal rod, and brake pedal rod were chrome plated for that extra added touch of detail. All of the glass is in excellent condition. windows easily roll up and down like they should. The heater, windshield wipers, lights, turn signals work perfectly. Accessory gauges were install to insure accuracy . They include Amp, Oil pressure, and Temperature. Carpet is black and has floor mats. The engine is a very strong running 350 with 5,000 miles. It has a 4 barrel carb and HEI distributor. The compression ratio is at 9:1 so that it can operate on pump fuel. A very mild RV cam was installed so that extra power and reliability can be insured. Nothing too radical. Longevity was the objective with the build. The transmission is a TH 400 automatic. The shift linkage is connected to the original column shift. I wanted everything original in appearance but with modern amenities. One can literally drive this truck anywhere on the planet. I say that with certainty folks! The truck can sit in the garage for weeks, yet when you get in it, turn the key, she'll start up every time - just like a Timex watch! Dual exhaust is a must with a vehicle like this. A set of magna flow mufflers were installed, and exhaust exits out of the rear - just under the bumper. A pair of chrome "pea shooter" tips complete the look out back. As for wheels and tires, I opted to go with a classic look. Champ Pro 235x75x15 radials with thin white walls , and steel wheels with beauty rings and "dog dish" hubcaps give the pickup a great feel and retro style. There you go folks. There has been a lot of money spent on this beautiful pickup over the years, but I am willing to let this go at a fraction of that amount. If you like what you see, are serious, and not a tire kicker, give me a call. I am open to reasonable offers . Partial trade might be considered. I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Ask all questions prior to bidding and/or purchasing . All sales are final. There are no warrantee's , exchanges, or refunds. I know of two very reasonable & reputable auto transport companies. Buyer pays for shipping, and I will see to it that the truck arrives in a safe and prompt manner. I will gladly ship this anywhere in the world. Feel free to call me any time - day or night. Thanks and have a wonderful day, Alex (909)-437-2068 |

Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe
Thu, Oct 16 2014BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs
Tue, Oct 20 2015Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.
GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
