"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 |

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem
Wed, Mar 9 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.
GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]
Sun, Jan 25 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.
