1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup Custom 283 V8 4-Speed Small Window One Owner Survivor Hello in
eBay land. I have a great find for
you! This is a 1963 1/2 ton Chevrolet Long
Box C-10 with the original 283 V8 and all of its original paint too. Other than the seat, this truck is all factory
original including the paint. I found this
truck in the barn on a farm just like one would expect. It had not been started or moved since at
least 1990. I doubt if it was used much
before then either. The plates are
original Pacific Wonderland and the bumper still has the brand of the local
Chevy dealer that sold it new. I fell in love
with the truck right away. It was far
from perfect and still is.. The bones
are what I look for in a find like this one.
The fact that a vehicle is only original once motivates me to buy these
whenever I find them. I mean really, how
many like this are out there anymore? I
hope that what I did to it and what I purposefully didn’t do will help tell the
story and give the new buyer either a starting point or a finished truck
depending on their desire. The fact
that the truck only had one owner is another check in the plus column for this
Chevrolet.. Unfortunately, the owner
died and I didn’t get to talk to him about the truck. I bought it from his estate and had it towed
to my shop. The seat was
all ripped up, the brakes were frozen, the gas in the tank was past old, the
shocks were solid, and it had not been started in an eon. I had some work to do.. We first pulled the seat out and sent it to
the upholsterer’s so he could source the material and get it looking right
again. Next we removed the gas tank and
sent it out to be cleaned and sealed.
While this was happening away from the shop we got started on the brakes
and shocks. I also pulled the carburetor
and personally rebuilt it. (I wish all
carbs were this simple). We also
started polishing the finish. It really
came back nice.. Yes, there is a lot of
patina.. I wouldn’t change any of
it.. You can’t make a truck look like
this on purpose.. It takes 50 years of
life to do it. The truck is really quite
solid. It has lived its whole life in
Oregon and even though it rains.. (a
lot) we don’t salt the roads and
vehicles remain pretty rust free around here.
There are a few spots that I pictured that would be easy to fix, but I
wanted to show the truck honestly and let the next owner decide how far to go
with the truck’s restoration. The
passenger front corner of the hood has some, there is a hole in the driver’s
rocker panel, and there is a hole on the inside of the tailgate. Under the tail edge of the passenger door
there is a hole too. That’s all I could
find though. The floor boards are solid
and so is the frame. The wood bed
is also original and has some soft wood and splits.. It’s totally useable, but also easy to
replace too. If I was keeping the truck
that would be my first “do it yourself” project.. I should
take a second and talk about the engine.
Just from an aesthetic point of view it is really stunning. Totally clean and original.. Simple and pretty and factory in every way. Once we got
the tank back and the carb was back in place we added fuel, installed a new
battery and gave her a crank.. She
started immediately and ran as smooth as anybody could hope. I cannot say enough about the motor in this
truck.. The engine is rock solid. It does not move at all. It revs smoothly and delivers even power
too. No leaks no smoking no issues at
all.. Plus its gorgeous. I couldn’t wait
to drive it so I jumped in on a bucket to check out the rest of it.. I’m sure the new brakes and shocks helped out
but I was really impressed. The clutch
is perfect as are all the syncros and even though there is no power steering or
brakes, it is super easy to drive..
(even sitting on a bucket J..) The heater
works, the blinkers work, the lights all work, the cool wipers work.. I was grinning from ear to ear.. I got the
seat back a few days later and wow.. I
mean show truck wow.. I put it in and we
were finished.. To sum up,
this is an original patina 1963 Chevrolet with a perfect seat and beautiful
engine. It may look old and tattered to
some, but that is the point.. It runs
and drives runs like a dream. This C-10
has a ton of vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future
appreciation. I am setting
the reserve very low and I know the Chevrolet will sell the first go around as
long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any
and all questions before bidding. #3. Please
contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is

must be paid by certified check or wire.
Legitimate and legal buyers only please.

and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or
her purchase. I have 100% positive
feedback and I plan on keeping that.
Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the
last second and worry about missing out.

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe
Fri, Aug 14 2015A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:
Junkyard Gem: 1985 Chevrolet Sprint
Thu, May 21 2020For in the 1985 model year, General Motors began selling Chevrolet-badged Suzuki Cultus hatchbacks in California. Sales of the cheap three-cylinder econobox in the rest of North America followed soon after (with the Canadian version known as the Pontiac Firefly), and did pretty well considering the crash in gasoline prices during the middle 1980s. Starting in 1988, the facelifted Sprint became the Geo (and, later on, Chevrolet) Metro. Here's one of the very first Cultuses sold on our shores, found in a San Francisco Bay Area car graveyard. Amazingly, the primitive rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet Chevette remained available all the way through 1987, competing with the thriftier front-wheel-drive Sprint in the same showrooms. For 1988, Pontiac started selling a rebadged Daewoo LeMans, so the Sprint/Metro never lacked for intra-corporate competition. Inside, you'll find the same stuff most mid-1980s Japanese econoboxes got: tough cloth upholstery and long-wearing hard plastics. Suzuki quality in 1985 wasn't quite up to Honda or Toyota levels, but you weren't paying Honda or Toyota prices for the Sprint. MSRP on this car started at $4,949, or about $12,000 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible 1985 Chevette cost $5,340, while a new no-frills Ford Escort would set you back $5,620. Subaru, however, could have put you in a punitively unappointed base-model Leone hatchback for just 40 bucks more than the Sprint that year. I think I'd have sprung the extra for a $5,348 Toyota Tercel, a $5,195 Mazda GLC, or— best cheap-commuter deal of all that year— the $5,399 Honda Civic 1300 hatchback. I was 19 years old and driving a Competition Orange 1968 Mercury Cyclone that year, and I recall feeling pity for Chevy Sprint drivers, new-car smell or not. Still, these weren't bad cars for the price, though a Sprint with an automatic transmission was a real character-builder. Got three cylinders and uses 'em all! 48 horsepower from this hemi-headed SOHC 1-liter. The Turbo Sprint — yes, such a car existed — had a howling 70 horsepower. The hood-latch release is a rectangular button that resembles a badge. 1985 Chevy Sprint Commercial The highest-mileage, lowest-priced car you can buy. 1985 holden barina commercial The Australian-market version was the Holden Barina, and the TV ads featured the Road Runner. 1983 SUZUKI CULTUS Ad In its homeland, this car got screaming guitars and a drive through New York City for its TV commercials.
