Ottawa, Illinois, United States
|
Up for your consideration is a 1972 Chevrolet custom deluxe c-10 this is a two owner, original survivor with authentic patina...the real deal! The truck was originally sold from Zscheile Motor Company at Burlington Kansas The truck still comes with the original dealer imprint plate! Very rare... along with the warranty info /emissions booklet/ and owners manual...all original! This truck is 90 % stock and untouched... The tires are not original, tailgate was replaced, along with some parts under the hood... The original rims, carburetor, wires, points distributor, and air cleaner are available if you are interested in the parts. the carb ,distributor wires, and air cleaner assembly where replaced with newer higher performance parts. (I have the originals in a box) The motor is completely stock and is the 4bolt main and higher compression engine...it requires the 91 octane or higher...still has the original diagnostic sticker to prove it! The motor runs excellent and strong. The trans was refreshed but is the original trans to the truck. shifts strong with no issues, very dependable. the rest of the drive train and suspension is all original and in excellent working order. the truck also has the rear leaf suspension and is very tight, not the wore out money pit of the trailing arm style! The truck has newer dual exhaust with new performance mufflers all in great shape Has new brakes up front, calipers were restored along with the original front rotors The rear brakes are new and the drums are original to the truck, all in great shape\ All the brake lines and fuel lines are in great shape The frame of the truck is in good shape and solid The body is all original and shows authentic patina and wear over the years... this is what is hot now. The real deal! a survivor...a natural not made to look like it is one... priceless originality.... The only rust issues the truck has, is the inside of the bed around the wheel wells and back by the tailgate do have rust that could be repaired and the natural patina of the truck wouldn't be harmed, the rust is on the inside and wouldn't interfere with the exterior look. There is rust on the lower drivers side door but fits the look of the truck... clear coat it to protect it and have the original look. guys are paying big bucks to have this look done. The truck starts, runs, steers, and stops excellent, it is fun and easy to drive.... turns all kinds of heads and is conversation piece at your stops. Very cool truck with no issues, jump in and drive it next spring... or do your custom tweaks during the winter and have it the way you want it come spring! Some one started to put in vintage a/c and didn't finish... I haven't removed it yet. you can either finish it or remove for the complete stock look. The only reason I am selling the truck...I actually bought it for my dad two years ago... worked on everything to make it easy to drive/safe/ and dependable.... and tried to give it to him as a surprise gift...( his favorite truck 30-some years ago was a 1972 that looked just like this one) but he told me he wasn't in to it anymore the love for the old truck was gone... I was pretty shocked... but anyway... I am finally going to sell it now... hopefully it will go to someone who has a passion for it... and will drive and enjoy it. Thanks for looking
Now for the legal crap Clear title in hand....ready to go no warranty cash in person or a bank to bank transfer I'm not going to deliver it to you for a reasonable price so don't ask. hire a company. I will only be involved to watch it be loaded out and hand the hauler the paperwork...(once the truck has been paid in full) NO LOWBALLERS OR TIRE KICKERS deposit of 250 due in 24hrs through paypal If you need to let it set here that's ok, but it will be agreed upon before end of auction and you will pay for the entire truck first. if it sits here past the agreed date I reserve the right to resell it... I reserve the right to end the auction early, (for sale locally) If you have reasonable questions: send and email and be patient for me to reply...I don't check email every day

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
