Your are looking at an all original, unmolested 1968 Chev C10 short wide bed, big back window. This is a very rare configuration and the most sought after, they only made this front clip with the sloped hood and the Chevrolet lettering across it in 1967-68. This is a 2WD and full coil spring suspension, which makes is super easy to drop and modify the suspension. This truck has never been messed with, the paint is original and has never been repainted, it has a really nice patina which I buffed to bring out the character. If you're looking for that rat rod look then this truck has it. It was originally sold at Leo Rice Motors in Gooding, Idaho, I got it from a guy who had stored it since 1989 which is 24 years it sat and not in circulation or on the roads. I brought it all back to perfect mechanical condition; new brake master cylinder, new brake shoes, drums turned, new brake wheel cylinders, new aluminum radiator, new battery, new fuel pump, took the fuel tank out, completely cleaned it, all new rubber on all systems, fuel lines, radiator hoses, belt. I bought all new bearings and seals, rebuilt the front axles/spindles, rebuilt the carburetor. Basically brought it all up to speed mechanically while leaving the nice patina finish. This truck is in it's raw form, has the 250 cubic inch inline six, 4-speed tranny, no power steering, no power brakes, just absolutely as simple as they come, which is what makes it so great. It's starts right up first time with the manual choke, purrs like a kitten, goes down the road smooth as glass for a 45 year old truck. If you want that authentic raw experience of the old world vehicles in their purest form, this is your truck. Dash is all original and uncut for a modern radio like you see so many times. It's nice to see one that was well taken care of; no idiots have got a hold of and modified and rigged. It's truly a great truck to leave as is and enjoy, or an excellent starting point for a full resto. I require a $1000 non-refundable deposit 24 hours after the auction ends, please if you're not serious don't waste your time, my time, and all of the serious buyers. Buyer is responsible for all transportation / shipping expenses, I would like it picked up no later than 2 weeks after the auction ends. Please contact me prior to bidding if you have questions or would like to resolve any concerns. I don't have it for sale locally so you don't have to worry about me pulling the rug out from under bidders to end the auction early, it will run for the duration of the auction!

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
