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.
Trans: Fully rebuilt Corvette 700R4 overdrive trans with shift kit.
New radiator, 3 HP mini-starter, ceramic coated headers, stainless cut-outs for exhaust. 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.
Has all new Classic Industries Velocity ($800) gauges in new dash pod and pad. Note: The colorbar under thye dash does not go with the sale.
Over $10,000 in body and paint using only the best PPG paint and clear. Custom Metallic Pearl Red (reddish metallic maroon) paint was $800 gallon alone...and all PPG primers, sealers and clear were the best PPG available. Best Goodmark front quarteres, doors, cab corners and rockers plus new hood (costing over $2,200 for all parts prior to “fitting” by an expert fabricator) was smoothed to perfection...gaps are great. 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). New dash pad, weatherstripping, window fuzzies and all new glass. Lots and lots of Dynamat throughout so the truck is super insulated and quiet with great audio sound clarity.
Chromed 16” American Racing IROC rims and new 255/65/16 General Grabber Ultra High Performance tires. All new complete front suspension with HD sway bar...corners like it is on rails. 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 your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
