1972 Chevy C-10 / Custom
Very hard to find stock, unmolested Tangier Orange & Birch White - 350 / 4bbl, manual trans, gauge package, factory AM/FM radio, deluxe seat, molded door panels and headliner
This truck has an interesting background. It was a family heirloom that later became a father/son stock restoration project about 9 years ago. They did a 3/4 frame-off (except for the cab bare shell) full mechanical and cosmetic redo. The project took over 1-1/2 years of constant work and was almost completed when the father became suddenly ill and passed before it was completely finished. The son could not bear to complete their work or drive it anymore. Then it just sat…………………………………………………..until I rescued it. I bought the truck with the sole agreement I would finish it properly. His hope is that someone will appreciate the time, effort and commitment that he and his dad put into it. Please know I love these trucks, have restored and owned so many I could tell you where, what type, and size of any fastener on any part. Here is the list of systems of what has been addressed collectively to date.
Body: All parts were removed from the frame except
for the cab bare shell. The cab mounts and rockers were replaced. The underside
was hand-cleaned, treated with POR-15 then undercoated with Wurth professional
coating. The bed inside and top rails
were sanded and sprayed with Rhino liner, then top coated with matching factory
color. The inside of the bed floor and sides looks like it has never been used. The underside was also POR-15’d and
undercoated with Wurth. The truck was completely painted in the original
factory color by the dad and son while it was apart before reassembly.
Engine Rebuilt stock long block with Edelbrock Performer intake and Holley 650 with electric choke properly calibrated for this application. Dressed to look like a period correct Z-28 (optioned like it would have come that way) Transmission New flywheel, clutch assembly, pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, oil changed to synthetic, new u-joints Exhaust New complete aluminized factory style system with turbo mufflersCooling System New water pump, radiator, heater core, all hoses and clamps, coolant, heater box case restored Fuel System New gas tank, seat insulator, sender, lines, pump and added inline fuel filter, rebuilt carburetor Brakes Rebuilt master cylinder, new rear brakes and wheel cylinders, flushed entire brake system; new fluid. The left rear drum still wears the GM factory sticker. Wheels / Tires The correct reconditioned 8” GM rally’s with new radial tires. New chrome lug nuts, wheel alignment. New Monroe heavy duty shocks.Electrical New alternator, battery, battery cables, headlights, front and all side marker lenses are new as well as most all the bulbs have been replaced Interior Steering wheel is new reproduction correct GM Z-15 optional wheel, new floor mat, new headliner, the window regulators and locks have been cleaned and lubricated, the original AM/FM radio works well Bumpers The front is re-chromed and the rear is new
I have had many of these trucks and this
one is probably overall one of the cleanest, nicest driving stock examples I’ve
had in some time. When driving the steering wheel is straight, no rattles or
squeak’s, it shifts nice and the brake pedal is firm with very smooth stopping. Shown is an original GM Service manual, original dealers sales brochure and owners manual. This color combo is also my favorite. It is nice enough to take to the local cruise-ins but could just use as weekend family truck. All it needs is new owner that can appreciate what has been done and enjoy it! Bidders, bid with confidence! Look at my rating - 100%. I have
been a member here for many years. That didn’t happen by accident. I have that
because I’m an honest guy and very easy to deal with. I have completed almost
400 transactions where some of the dollar amounts were very high. International
Bidders
I have sold
and assisted with delivery of vehicles to countries outside of the US. There is
an inland shipping port near me as well as a sea port @60 miles further. I am
very experienced dealing with international buyers / shippers / delivery. Questions
If you would rather ask / discuss by phone instead of email, contact me
here and I will provide my number. Transporting If the winning bidder lives outside my area you could: 1) Rent a car and drive here then drive the truck back. There is an Enterprise car rental facility close by. 2) There is a major airport near me you could fly in and drive the truck home. 3) I have a great guy with a roll back who is very professional and courteous who can safely and reliably transport the truck to your home. His rates are competitive. 4) You send your own transport to pick it up. I will accommodate you with any of these as best as I can with my schedule.
Payment $1500.00 deposit by PayPal due immediately after auctions end. The balance to be paid by wire transfer - or - cash at pick up. With PayPal fees going into outer-space, I started using bank wire transfers some time ago and found them to be easier, the fees are almost nothing and safer than PayPal. Anyone who wants to bid and is not familiar with bank wire transfers contact me first and I will explain in detail; it's easy as pie!
Reserve Price Is very fair and under the current market. I am open to buy it now offers and reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks!
Bidders with no or low feedback scores Contact me first but know your bids will most likely be cancelled out.
On Apr-29-14 at 05:07:16 PDT, seller added the following information: Updated Payment Instructions To clarify the terms above: The balance is due within 48 hours of auctions close by wire transfer unless picking up in person and paying cash. If in person, the truck must be picked up within 7 days of auctions end. Thanks! On Apr-29-14 at 08:29:45 PDT, seller added the following information: ZERO / LOW Feedback Bidders Attention! I just cancelled a bidder with zero feedback who did not respond to repeated emails. I just took a $1000 loss on the current bid. Again to show I am an honest in this process I do not do 'ghost' bidding to drive the auction up - OR - allow people to bid with no history and do not respond to polite emails requesting clarification. Sorry - Thanks! |

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint
Sun, Feb 6 2022Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:
Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men
Tue, Apr 7 2015The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.
