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! |

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
