This is a 1968 Chevy C/10. All original as far as I can tell. 327-4bbl, with a 4 speed /granny low. Truck did not come with power steering, but I just bought a conversion from a 1971 C/10 with power steering. I have not installed the parts yet. I just repaired the fuel system. It was getting clogged, and not running right. I changed the fuel tank, flushed the steel (frame) line, replaced all rubber sections of hose, added an in-line fuel filter before the fuel pump, added a new fuel pump, added an in-line filter after the fuel pump, and replaced the fuel filter in the carb. Now it runs fine, and hasn't given me any problems yet. It has a brand new starter, but it needs to be shimmed. It was grinding a little when I started it, so I shimmed it up a bit, and it helped but there is still a slight whining. I just replaced the heater core which was leaking, and also added a new heater control assembly which is all hooked up, but I haven't got the fan working yet. I have no power to the blower motor. I ran out of time to work on it for now, so that is how it is being listed. 

The truck has a bit of rust through in a few places in the interior floor, also the kick panels, and the rockers have some rust. I have seen a lot worse than this. The good thing about this truck is the front fenders, both doors, and the box appear to be rust free. It is a custom cab with the dash intact. windows go up, and down, but need new weather stripping throughout. I put a new turn signal switch I it so now the head lights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals are all working, but the side markers do not, and the front passenger side signal light lights up when the brake is applied. I was going to replace all the wiring if I kept the truck, but I have too many projects, and need to sell this so I can use the money towards the purchase of a dependable auto that is not a project.

 

The stock radio is in place, and I can hear the sound through the speakers when radio is turned on, but the antenna is broke so I can't tune in any stations. I would bet that it works, just don't know for sure. This truck could be driven as is, locally while the little issues it has are addressed, but it is still a project. I would not depend on it to get me 300 miles down the road and back just yet, but if you stay close to home until all the issues are resolved you should be fine. The truck runs good, smokes just a little at start-up, but doesn't knock, and runs smooth. I drive it to work all the time. The truck just sat for years down the street, and now I know why I never saw it driving around. It had about a dozen little problems when I got it, but I have it running, and dependable enough that it can be used locally while you work on it. It has a nice set of 6-lug slotted mag wheels 15X8 rear and 15X7 front, and a brand new set of BFG Radial T/A's. I also have a set of white spoke wheels mounted on Wild Country tires.

 

Winning bidder is responsible for transport of vehicle. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due within 72 hours of the auctions end. Winning bidder can make transport arrangements, and I will accept the balance in cash only at the time the shipper picks up vehicle. I will accept PayPal for the deposit, and the balance, or PayPal for the deposit, and cash when shipper arrives for pick-up.

Bob Lutz builds the case for a mid-engined Corvette

Fri, Jan 16 2015

Rumors of a mid-engine Corvette are like automotive industry folklore at this point. Every once in a while, news pops up that it might be happening or is under development, but nothing actually ever comes to fruition as something people can actually buy. The latest spy shots strongly suggest a mid-engine 'Vette is in the cards, yet again, possibly for 2018. Now, an op ed by former General Motors executive (and definite performance car fan) Bob Lutz in Road & Track gives the inside scoop on the history of one of these proposals and lays out how to make it happen today. According to Lutz, the company's engineers believed the C6 ZR1 was at the limit for front-engine, rear-wheel drive performance in that package, and the only solution was to move the powerplant behind the driver. Lutz even got then CEO Rick Wagoner on board. The scheme made it at least as far as clay models for mid-engine versions of the 'Vette and Cadillac XLR. Eventually, a lack of money got in the way, though, bringing the project to an end. Lutz puts a lot of faith in GM's current leaders, especially Mary Barra and Mark Reuss. He thinks the chances of a mid-engine 'Vette happening this time are better than 50 percent. The model, rumored to be named Zora, could offer over 700 horsepower in an ultra lightweight body and be priced at about $120,000 to "suck the doors off everybody." Head over to Road & Track to get some insights from this highly respected and entertaining auto industry veteran. Related Video:

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

nuTonomy beats Uber to market with self-driving taxi rides, and the latest Corvette ZR1spy shots | Autoblog Minute

Sat, Aug 27 2016

Software developer nuTonomy beats Uber to market with self-driving taxi rides in Singapore. A 124 Coupe could soon join Fiat's roadster lineup, and we have the latest spy shots of the new Corvette ZR!. Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Mintue. Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Mintue. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Massachusetts based software company, nuTonomy, launched its self-driving taxi service in Singapore this week. nuTonomy specializes in developing software for self-driving cars. Testing of the companies ride-hailing smartphone app occurred in Singapore, where riders were able to book a free driverless ride. nuTonomy's robo-taxi fleet is comprised of Renault Zoes and Mitsubishi i-MiEVs. Engineers from nuTonomy were present at this public launch as a safety measure. [00:00:30] The company will now continue to collect data and conduct more testing with its self-driving cars in Singapore, Michigan and the United Kingdom. nuTonomy has plans to offer widely-available commercial service in Singapore in 2018. nuTonomy's aggressive play in Singapore has put Uber and its partner Volvo in the unlikely position of playing catch-up. Autocar reported this week that we should expect FCA to add a Coupe [00:01:00] to it's 124 roadster lineup. When? Well, seeing as the 124 Spider just recently made it US dealers we may have to wait until next year to see a hardtop Fiata. It's tough to predict what kind of performance we can expect out of a 124 Coupe but in the U.S. the Spider has 160hp using a 1.4-l turbocharged engine. So the car you see in these pictures is actually Fiat's 124 Rally car that will be used for competition. [00:01:30] Now that's not exactly how the street car will look but it gives you an idea of what a 124 with a fixed roof is gonna look like. This week we got another look at what we think is the Chevy Corvette ZR1 and its massive rear wing. Now to be clear, the images that we're seeing are actually demonstrations. The car was actually captured without the rear wing. However, our spy photographers photoshopped the wing, which we've seen before, on some of these new shots just so you could get [00:02:00] a sense of what the car looks like driving around in it's most recent state. Now we think this car will make more than 700hp, which is kind of a magic number. The Hellcats from Chrysler make 707 so certainly GM wants to beat them.
