CLASSIC SHOW TRUCK FOR SALE 1968 Chevy C-10 Fleetside SWB
Completely restored; ground up, frame-off, full rotisserie with all new parts. Only 1,100 miles. Frame and cab are matching numbers. Like most true gear-head projects this car started out to be a “dail driver”. Haha As usually happens with us perfectionists, every time I replaced a old part with a new one I kept finding it made all the others look bad. So what do you do...well if you are really picky you replace them all and end up with a show truck that is driveable on a daily basis.
These 1967-1968 Chevy C-10 shortbed trucks are HOT and very collectible. This one is the best of the best, and it is totally done and ready to start winning trophies or simply being admired at your local cruise-in. Has the highly sought-after small back window for that rare old-school look.
Fully professionally rebuilt 305 Chevy (.30 over) bored, balanced, blueprinted, decked, port-matched, roller rockers, GM roller cam. Built for durability and mpg, not racing...but with 3.73 rear end gears it'll move. Probably puts out 275-300 hp on pump gas getting over 20 mpg with its' AOD trans. Has Edelbrock Performer intake and matching 600 cfm electric choke carb with all Lokar cable/kickdown/selector cables etc. Arp bolts and all new complete custom wiring. Noisy gear drive and Flomasters with 3” stainless exhaust tips give it a truly great sound.

Front power disc brakes with 2.5” dropped spindles and 3” lower front coil; rear has 4” dropped coil...all new. Entire suspension and steering is completely new. Gas tank moved from inside tank to between cab rails for safety (21 gal)...filler concealed in bed of truck for security/looks.
Frame was stripped to bare metal (as was the entire truck) and then the frame was primed and painted with numerous coats Eastwood's Ceramic frame paint. Has beautifl black Haartz canvas premium flush-fit Craftec tonneau.
Bed is sprayed color-matched heavy-duty rubberized Raptor protective covering so it can haul items to car shows without marring up a wood floor. Has a fire extinguisher and full-sized spare tire and jack mounted in bed.

Tons of blocksanding went into paint prep and follow-up color-sanding. Firewall is smoothed.
BMW 5 series Antracite leather buckets, center and overhead consoles. All new carpeting, usb stereo with power amp, and power recessed antenna. Power steering and front power disc brakes all totally new. $2000 invested in Vintage Air Sure-Fit A/C, heat and defrost (blows cold).

Of course, all rear brakes/shocks are new. Runs/drives awesome. Was always a Southern truck. Front and rear bumpers were brand new... then I had them triple chromed show plated because I wasn't crazy about the cheezy chroming on the new bumpers I had bought. They now look great.
All headlight/tailight receptacles are new with all new nuts/bolts/screws. Has glass blue dots for olod school look. My wife says I have OCD. lmao
This truck gathers a crowd wherever it goes...and tons of “thumbs ups” while getting there.
No trades...only reluctantly selling to buy a friend's muscle car that I have been wanting for a while. Please NO Brokers...don't need help selling.
Hagerty places value at $45,000 which I feel is too high-although you could easily put that into one this nice. A few of similar apparent quality on eBay are listed for $33,000 to $40,000. You can't build it this well for my selling price-plus it could take years like mine did. Keep in mind it is a frame-off, nut and bolt restoration with most bolts replaced with all new GM bolts or stainless steel button head bolts. Grade 8 was used where applicable. Attention to detail is everywhere you look.
Has a truck cover that is included.
I invite personal inspections or can work with a local appraisor that you pay for. The truck looks much better in person as I am not much of a photographer. Have all documentation on the rebuilds.
Please DO NOT bid if you haven't got the money in hand, have to clear it with the wife first or are really just playing around here on eBay. Check my feedback...I have a perfect 100% rating.
There is a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit due within 24 hours of your having won the bid. Remember...this is a legal and binding contract.
Truck is sold As-Is, Where-Is without warranty. Should you have any questions please call me at 256/443.8846 and I will do my best to answer them. Can also provide names and contact numbers of fabricators and mechanics that have worked on this great show truck and that are familiar with the truck's condition.
Truck is located in Florence, AL (2 hours SW of Nashville or 2.5 hours NW of Birmingham...or fly into Huntsville, AL and drive your new baby home. I am only 1 hour West of Huntsville (NW Alabama).
Truck will not be released until all funds have cleared my local bank via cash or wire transfer. Can work with your auto shipper regarding scheduling...shipping costs will be 100% your responsibility. I can store the truck indoors for 10 days after the sale if needed.
I will not divulge the reserve (kinda destroys the whole auction concept), but it's a steal at the reserve price. So bid to own this classic beauty.

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?
Sun, May 22 2016These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions. Internet, what do you think? Related Video: This article by Zach Doell originally appeared on Boldride.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015
Mon, Jan 5 2015Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.
