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!

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Nissan Leaf sales get January jump as Chevy Volt trends downward

Mon, Feb 3 2014

The cold January sales dip hit both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt last month, but when compared 2014 to 2013's first-month-of-the-year sales totals, one of the two early plug-in vehicles obviously came out on top. The top Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months. Last year, the Leaf sold just 650 units in January, but it managed to move 1,252 last month, a 92.6-percent increase over 2013 but a big drop from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. Paige Presley over at Nissan told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf has now broken sales records for 11 months straight and that, "we see unique seasonality with some December pull-ahead demand based on federal and state tax incentives." The number one Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months, moving back to San Francisco. That change could be short-lived. "We had some inventory constraint issues early in the month in Atlanta with end-of-year demand depleting stock," Presley said. "By the time we resolved that, the weather hampered sales." There was not as much good news on the Chevrolet front. Last month, the Volt sold 918 units, down from 1,140 in January 2013 and 2,392 in December 2013. It also marks the first time the Volt has sold in the three-digit range since January 2012, when it sold 603 copies. That string of solid months means that the plug-in hybrid has a roughly 12,000-unit lead over the EV since the two cars brought plug-in vehicles back to the mass market all the way back in December 2010. We will have our full report of January's green car sales up soon.
