This is a 1968 Chevrolet C-10 2WD long-bed pickup with a great running 250 straight 6 engine and 4 speed manual transmission (on the floor).

The body has rust in all the normal/usual places.  They are so commonly rusted in these places that LMC (and tons of other places) make all the patch panels for them, and they're all really cheap.  (cab corners, rockers, lower fender pieces, etc.) pretty much any rust spot you have there is a cut and weld patch for it.

I included as many pix as I could.  If you want more pix just ask and I'll send you more.

Usually everyone wants to pull the straight 6 and put a V8 in but I would just hate to do that to this truck because the straight 6 in it run so great!  Just a flick of the key and it starts right up and sounds great. 

All the running gear is original.  All the steering and suspension parts are tight and straight.  Frame is perfectly straight.

The engine is very clean, only has a minor rear main seal leak, no where else.  (just put a new water pump on) 

Gas tank has been removed, cleaned and sealed.  Has a new fuel sending unit, fuel lines, and filter.

Trans shift nicely no noises, clutch is good, rear end sounds good, no play in the pinion, nice clean gear oil, no bearing noise.  Driveline u-joints and carrier bearing are in nice shape.

Has no power steering or power brakes as original.  That is something I think I'd do if I was to keep it.  Disc brake conversion and power steering.

Dash is not cut up although a previous owner moved the ignition key into one of the radio holes?  Don't know why.  There are some small screw holes in the dash, easy fix.

The driver's door is a bit rough. (see pix)  Fixable but I think it would be more advantageous to just replace it.  Passenger door is in really good, tight condition...closes nice and lines up great.

The tailgate is pretty much toast, dented pretty badly.  $168 for a new one.  Or another idea is to replace the whole bed with a 90s Chevy bed or anything else that has a similar body-line.  Just need to take some measurements and go look around you local Pick & Pull/Pull & Save wrecking yard.

This is a project truck.  But it is a perfect project for a high schooler to learn to do some body work, maybe put his newly learned welding skills to the test.  All the while getting to drive it because it runs so well.

There is no reserve, high bid get the truck.

I bought it to do a custom-mod to it, but I decided I better finish my 23 Street Rod and 68 Firebird projects first.  Kinda need the room in the shop for them so the truck has to go.

Buyer is responsible for picking up or transporting the truck.  It is driveable if you want to drive it home.  Although I don't know if I'd trust the current tires on a long trip.  Fronts are pretty old and weather checked.  rears are two different sizes.  Might need to throw a decent used set on to drive any real distance.

Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds

Sun, Dec 28 2014

We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race

Thu, Sep 8 2016

The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.
