1969 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Base 4.1l on 2040-cars
Graham, North Carolina, United States
|
Condition: I bought this truck 2 years ago with intent to fully restore while using. Previous owner did the same thing so the truck has had excellent maintenance and upkeep. Maintenance since 2008: New muffler, new tailpipe, new rear transmission seal, new (both) front brake hoses, new (both) front wheel brakes, new upper and lower ball joints, new front coil springs, new front and rear KYB shocks, 4 wheel alignment, 4 new Dayton Timberline tires (31 by 10.5 LT15), new brake master cylinder, new heavy duty radiator, new starter, new clutch kit/ring gear, new pressure plate and throw out bearing, resurfaced flywheel, replaced rear gear oil, new drive shaft u-joints and yoke, balanced drive shaft, factory seat recovered (factory beige), new plugs/points/condenser, set dwell and timing, adjusted carburator, new fuel pump, new fuel filter, new valve cover, new valve cover gasket, replaced all valve stem seals, new lifter cover gasket,new driver's door window regulator, new distributor gasket, new oil pan gasket, new front and rear crankshaft seals, new engine mounts, new oil pressure switch, new breather element, new heavy duty battery (10/27/11). The truck is in excellent mechanical condition and is driven locally about once per month. It's always garaged and never driven in the elements. It has factory paint with some spray touchup on left side and white cab top (not immediately noticeable). No damage history. All factory chrome. It has minor surface rust in the bed and top rails of bed. Passenger side rocker panel (under door) has some paint bubling and one rust hole 1cm dia. Serious restorer will want to replace the entire rocker panel. All glass is good (no cracks), factory windshield has some fogging around left/lower/right periphery. Horn does not work. When I back out of my garage there are usually 0-4 dime size drops of dried fluid (oil?) on the floor but otherwise no oil leakage/usage. On full cold heater still puts out a little heat. Passenger side window regulator works but is stiff and could use replacing. All lights, gages, clusters, vents, wipers, etc work just fine. I've tried to list here everything that should be considered, and if I've not mentioned it, then it works. It also has a factory heavy duty rear bumper with a lockable spare tire jackscrew for raising/lowering. I'm including the aluminum bed tool box. It has 66,137 original miles. History: Based on previous owner's info, I believe I'm the 5th or 6th owner. I bought it from a private seller in Chattanooga, TN May 2012 and drove it home 4 hours on I-40 at 65-70 mph (13 mpg). He bought it from a friend site unseen and had it shipped to TN from Wyoming or Idaho in 2008. It was originally sold by Scott Chevrolet, Oklahoma City, OK on 8/25/1969. I have the original New Vehicle Warranty and Owner Protection Plan card and dealer plate imprint. I have the original 1969 Owner's Manual that came with the truck (excellent condition), along with the plastic sleeve it came in. I also have all maintenance records for maintenance I've listed. Great truck. Pleasure to drive. Features: It does not have a radio...never did. Manual steering, No a/c. It comes with a cab-mounted fire extinguisher, spare tire, hydraulic bottle jack, and the pictured aluminum bed tool box. Shipping: Buyer responsible for and to pay all shipping costs. |

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?
Sat, Mar 26 2016High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
