You are bidding on an all original one owner 1968 Chevrolet C-10 Survivor Fleetside pickup Model # CE10934 equipped with its original Chevy 307 200 hp. 8 cylinder engine, manual transmission with manual overdrive. Many say "Survivor" however only few trucks really qualify. A survivor is one in which the vehicle is at least 95% original. This C-10 spent all of its life in a dry garage in eastern washington. I acquired this vehicle after the original owner (from 1968 to 2013) passed away. He was an electrical engineer that took meticulous care of his possessions. He primarily used the truck to go out on his 25 acres and get firewood and occasionally a road trip to seattle. He kept records of oil changes, and odometer mileage numbers throughout the years in a little book he kept in the glove box.(I still have) Looking through it I realized that most all of the miles were from 68-86 where the odometer read 68,281. After his 1986 log-in, the next one said "lube oil +filter on sept 28, 02 with the mileage 70,120. After this his health declined. He would start the truck every year and drive it very little according to neighbors. Apparently when he first bought the truck he took it to Seattle and out to Poulsbo, Wa. where he had property. In the glove box was the original 1968/69 ferry schedule. On the visor was a registration receipt folder clip-on with every receipt from every registration he got. Its still there. I have the original owners protection plan and vehicle warranty brochure with the metal tag with his name on it, as well as the original 1968 shop manual. Also other memorabilia that was in the glove box. Interior: It has all the original interior. Original Seat, original side panels, original floor matt, original mirror, original visors, EVERYTHING on interior is original. The radio/stereo plate on the dash is still blank with no radio ever installed. Same with the cigarette lighter spot. The dash has no cracks, all the gauges work , the ceiling is without a scratch, door panels almost perfect with a couple minor scratches is all, original rear view mirror showing a little age around the edge. Exterior: This truck is at least 95% original if not more*. From what I can tell the only thing he had done to the truck over the years was he had Midas put on a new muffler and pipe. The only wear on the truck is in the bed where he tossed the firewood. The original wood bed is still in and it has probably 50% of the original paint on the wood. No rot, just worn. A beautiful Patina actually. The outside mirrors are original with only small blems, The bumpers - front and rear- appear to never have been even bumped and have their original paint. The rear bumper has never had a trailer hitch. License plate light works as do all others. The body is straight with the exception of two small dings, one on each side, hardly noticeable. Never been in an accident. The Paint on the body is all original! All the glass and lights are flawless. The paint is in amazing shape. No touch ups have been done, just a wash and shine.The aluminum, chrome is in great shape with the exception of one area on the passenger side of front grills outer edge. The white area in the front and on the bumpers has some pits but not bad. Has original windshield wipers, gas cap, wheels, and hub caps. There is very little rust -mostly surface down low. The underside is virtually rust free with the exception of a little bit underneath to the right of the door by wheel well. Nothing of any real concern. Again this was in a dry garage all its life. *The wheels and hubcaps are original but look to have been painted or touched up. (I think) Motor: Has the original 307 8 cyl. engine with the original 2 barrel Rochester carb. and original Rochester carb. Its a three on the tree with manual overdrive (pull/push knob in/out) Manual choke (pull/push knob in/out) . The only things I've done to this truck is I replaced the plugs and rebuilt the carb, replaced fuel lines and filters, changed the oils and flushed the radiator, turned the key and it purrs like a kitten. Drove it from Spokane to Priest Lake Idaho 180 miles RT and then From Spokane to Seattle (288 miles). Thats it. It ran perfect and doesn't leak oil. I've owned this truck for only a few months. Seattle is where it is now stored. I'm selling it because I feel someone who really appreciates the originality of this truck, or a collector, should own this beauty. I'm not a car guy, not a truck guy. But this is an amazing find. Its so rare to find a truck especially that is in this good of shape AND has not been compromised from its original state. I challenge you to try and find one and then you'll know what I'm talking about. This truck emanates a real history of someone who simply used the truck as a truck, respected it, took good care of it, and thats it. We should be so simple. Please if you want any other pics, or info please ask. I will do my best to answer clearly, honestly without any hidden agenda. I will be glad to assist in transport as well. Sold as is of course. I guess Im suppose to say that. $1000 Deposit within 24 hrs of end of auction and balance within 3 days. |

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

Early buyers of the Cadillac ELR in Canada will get a 240-volt charger installed at their home for free. It should help convince some buyers to adopt the range extended luxury EV. Cadillac's Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus says, "Professional installation of the fastest home-charging unit is a natural way to mark the introduction of ELR to the luxury market." Read more in the press release below. Renovo has received venture capital funding from California-based True Ventures to build its Coupe electric supercar. The impressive EV, with its 500 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque, is an inspiring vehicle built by a promising company, according to its financial backers. Toni Schneider of True Ventures says that Renovo has "created incredibly advanced technology and a beautiful machine that is well positioned to disrupt the automotive market." Read more in the press release below. Renault says it will build its Fluence ZE electric car in China for an unnamed brand, pending government approval.

Germany has lifted its ban on Uber. While the German court believes the ride-hailing service is operating illegally without proper licensing for drivers, it says Taxi Deutschland waited too long to file the case against Uber. The taxi association plans to appeal the decision soon. See more in the video below, and read more at The New York Times. A new report from UC Davis claims that a global expansion of public transit could save 1,700 megatons of carbon dioxide yearly and over $100 trillion by 2050. A "high-shift scenario" would be necessary, wherein governments invest in rail and clean buses, expand biking and walking infrastructure and shift focus away from projects that encourage car use. This shift to public transit would especially be important in the US, China and India. Read more in the press release below.
