Thanks for taking a look at this auction. This is my baby that I hoped to never be in a position where I needed to let it go but my fiance' and I have just purchased a house with a one stall garage, single parking space and we have two vehicles we drive and then there is this one which we have no space for. Also, after all the costs involved with purchasing a home, we are in need of funds for closing costs and such. Sorry to go on, but this is killing me because I had hoped to restore it for my boys but I guess such is life.

Anyhow, what she is: A 1969 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside with the rarer bed that has space for the spare tire on the side. I bought this truck from a man who is a professional race car builder located in Muncie, Indiana. He put this together for a sweet rodded up truck. The engine block numbers are #3782870 which reads as a 327cid V8 which was originally out of a 1963 Corvette. It's horsepower was 375 horse from the factory with a 2 barrel carb and the 4 barrel version was rated at almost 400 hp. This one does have the two barrel and it also has a Flamethrower Distributer. He paired the motor with a short track race car transmission which is a Saginaw 4 on the floor and it has a Hurst Shift Kit. Bringing up the rear is a Chevrolet Limited Slip Posi 12 Bolt rear end which I believe to have somewhere around a 373 - 411 gear since it's pushing 3000rpm's at 60mph. The engine also is equipped with what I believe to be true Hooker Headers, but the brand cannot be confirmed. As the final piece to the drivetrain, the man that built this wanted it to have a deep throaty sound so he installed a special exhaust system which I had never heard of but I looked it up on the net and the system he installed costs about $800 just for the kit that you have to install. It is actually designed for a diesel engine truck. The brand is Silverline, and I took a pic of the exhaust tips so you could see that.

This truck is a runner. I drove it home from Chicago to my home which was about a 3hr drive and it performed great. Even the headlights, tail lights, side markers, and dash lights work including a lit custom tach. The bed is solid, so is the frame however if you are going to restore it right, you are going to need a new cab. The floor, rockers, cab corners and inside all along the top of the windshield is rusted something terrible. But when I looked for a cab on craigslist, I actually found several from $175 to $350 for a whole cab. It will come with an extra pair of doors and front fenders as well as an extra pair of tires and a passenger side inner front fender. It's power steering but manual brakes. No stereo but the dash hasn't been molested and its uncut ready for a stock replacement. As far as wiring, the truck is fine except the blower motor which is on a toggle switch. The front seat is in great shape with no rips and if I remember correctly it has a newer fuel tank behind the seat. Right now it just needs a battery and it is ready to go down the road. However, upon a successful auction I will take part of the money I get for the $500 I would require within 24hrs to purchase a new battery so it will be ready to go. I just put a brand new speedo cable on it last year. I also will be including an authentic set of front and rear 1969 Michigan Licence plates which if you register and title her in Michigan, it will only cost you $30 for the rest of your life with no renewal fees.

There is quite a bit of money invested but I am realistic and I know I'll never get back what I have into it. My reserve is set at the bare minimum that I can bear to take and I will say it is very reasonable keeping in mind the drivetrain alone.

Upon winning, like I said I would like to have a $500 down payment within 24 hours. I will then buy a battery and it is a runner so I would be even willing to drive to meet you to drop it off but I can only go 75 miles from my location which is Holton, Mi 49425. However, if you are from a distant state and are going to need it shipped, I will work with any shipping company that you employ but you will be responsible for setting it up and paying for it. If my reserve is not met, I will contact the highest bidder and let them have a chance to make me an offer. If it is a reasonable offer and I accept it, I will relist it with the offer as a buy it now price so they may then confirm the purchase as I will not do anything against ebay rules buy trying to sell it outside of ebay. I did take a video of the truck starting and running. As I came around back, there was a little black smoke coming from the right bank. I set the camera down and filed both pipes as I cracked the throttle. Upon reviewing the video, I saw smoke coming out of both pipes. This appeared to me to be unburnt fuel because I have never done a tuneup nor have I ever adjusted the carburetor and I think its running rich. Lastly I would suggest adjusting the valve train. A few months ago I thought I did a good job because I got all the clack out of the rockers but every now and then it will tick for just a second. Here is the video:

Thank you again for taking the time to consider this diamond in the rough. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. Good luck and Happy Bidding!

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe

Fri, Aug 14 2015

A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:
