1970 Chevrolet C10 - Longbed – Upgraded A/C – Solid – Rust Free

You are bidding on an absolutely gorgeous, rust free Chevy Pickup with numerous dollars invested in its 10-plus year old restoration. The previous owner invested a lot of time and money in this truck and won numerous casual car shows in the early 00’s. Unfortunately, health issues has brought this truck to the market.

This longbed is an absolute head turner from its gorgeous two-tone paint, to its custom hounds-tooth interior. Although it has an older restoration, the paint still shows glossy and beautifully. The overall cosmetics are still very good overall. Some of the trim pieces are starting to look dated including the side bumper strips (slight-peeling), and the front grill liner (hazy). The interior is in excellent condition. The seats, interior paint, gauges, and windows all show excellent. The black carpeting does have sun fading which I’ve included photographs of. Also, the interior door trim shows some scuffing on the armrest (mostly on the driver’s side).

On most cars and trucks, the underbody speaks very highly of the true condition of the car. The underbody on this C10 is very clean and solid. I’ve included numerous photos to help portray its excellent condition.

Mechanically, this truck runs, drives, and idles beautifully. I’ve included a video of this. The power steering and braking are an absolute breeze to operate and preform flawlessly. The suspension is still strong and tight. The tires are newer with a lot of tread. The upgraded air conditioning blows ice cold and all the electrical (including the radio) work just fine. I also just put in a brand new battery.

Under the hood, this Chevy sports a strong 350 CID engine with upgraded components including hooker headers and is dressed up nicely but not too “showey”. The engine compartment looks good overall but would definitely benefit from a professional detailing.

Other points to mention:

The truck spent the latter end of last summer (about two months) outside, and consequently, there is some hardened sap on the paint of the back/back right side of the truck that I personally haven’t had the time to remove properly. Also, the vinyl bedliner could use a full-out cleaning. (There is some black speckling on it from being in the rain).

The front right wheel-well chrome has a small crease in the chrome insert and could probably be “re-set”, if not replaced very inexpensively. Also, there is a nick on the front right side bumper strip (shown in photos)

As mentioned above, this truck has an older restoration but still shows beautifully. Other than a few minor details, this Chevy shows a well-cared for ownership history.

 

About me: For the past few years I have invested in numerous solid, (usually targeting original) classic cars which I enjoy casually and then turn and sell. I like to have a different classic every year when the Woodward Dream Cruise rolls around in August. I have owned many Chevy’s in the past including two documented SS Chevelle’s and I’m always looking for something new!

 

Please don’t hesitate to send me an email with any questions you may have. Also, the truck is available for inspection and may be test-driven. If you would like to talk over the phone just send me your phone number and I will do my best to contact you/set up an appointment. Please have any questions answered or inspections preformed before making a bid! I require a $1000 deposit at the auction close and the remainder within 3 days.

Thanks, and good luck on your bidding!

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes

Mon, Jun 8 2015

General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain

Sat, Aug 9 2014

Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.
