Greetings,


I bought this truck at the Mecum Kissimmee Auction in January, 2012.  The paperwork I received at auction stated it had a frame off restoration in 2008.  I drove it home to Charleston, SC after auction....400 miles with no issues. It's always been a very good running machine and I've done several key upgrades since for safety and reliability.  If you've ever restored one of these trucks, you know how expensive it can be.  I never skimped on parts as you will see below. I will make it as brief as possible but I want you to know what you are getting if you choose to buy my truck. In SC, you must have AC. This truck has a aftermarket unit that works and blows very cold. Also has a working heater. 

BRAKE UPGRADE:
 Parts bill from this alone was $1231 ( have receipt) all parts are easily replaced should/when they wear out.
Purchased from Performance Online out of California
1963-70 6 lug stock spindle disc brake wheel kit (deluxe)
Cross drill and gas slot upgrade
Braided stainless brake hose upgrade to 10mm with a GM Caliper
Power brake booster kit 11" disc fronts.  drum rear(rebuilt)
New brake proportioning valve

IGNITION UPGRADE: 
 All MSD to include MSD 6AL / MSD coil and distributor as well as spark plug wires.  Carb was rebuilt and jetted when ignition was done by experienced Chevy mechanic who also races at local tracks.  Truck fires right up and runs perfect with a "just right"rumble that you would want and expect. 

STEERING UPGRADE: 
Installed chrome IdidIt column shift with TILT ($421).  New Grant wheel (signals and horn function)

COOLING upgrade:
American Radiator  with two 1" cores. Dual fans.  Keeps truck running at no greater than 190 Degrees even at 95 degrees here in Charleston. 

Miscellaneous: performed in 2008
Truck has aftermarket headers with new aluminum gaskets(2012)  and true dual flow master exhausts. 
New gas tank was installed in stock position. 

Just replaced the rear main seal (June2013) and I have a total replacement seal kit from Summit that will go to new owner so you have that covered down the road. Also replaced the oil pan(orange stock) and transmission pan (chrome) and their respective seals.  Rear differential was serviced last year with new cover (chrome) fluid and seal.  Has 3.73 gears. 

Almost forgot- Installed a 3 pt. seatbelt for driver and passenger from LMC Truck.

Truck starts/runs/drives/stops as it should. The front brakes do squeak a bit when they get hot. You might eliminate this with a different shoe compound-  these came with performance kit. Truck stops straight and true as is. 

All hoses are good, top hose was replaced when I put in radiator.  

The cab and the bed floor are original.  All other fenders and tailgate are replacements. There is a tiny bit of surface rust on passenger side interior door frame that is starting....about the size of two quarters.  It will need attention at some point but again, it has just started and is very minor. 

If you have any questions, please ask.

This is a turnkey truck.  I put it in one show and it won a trophy locally.  It's not absolutely perfect but it is very nice and something you can get in and drive and be very proud of for years to come.  It does get admiring looks and thumbs up whenever I drive. The  velocity yellow paint has a terrific shine and really fits a short bed muscle era truck. Speaking of muscle, this C10 will flat out get up and go! Ive never abused it, but I do enjoy  the sound and the acceleration it provides for a bit of a thrill from time to time.  It is tuned and ready with synthetic oil and non ethanol premium gasoline. I also use a zinc additive when changing oil just for longevity of internal parts.   I am selling because I am building a cabin in Western NC and I need the liquidity. I've enjoyed it and you will too. 

Of course there is no warranty on something of this age.  It is sold as is but I believe you could drive it just about anywhere if you wanted to.

I have a 100% Ebay rating and have sold 3 vehicles over the years on Ebay including a 2011 Cadillac CTSV that I drove to Utah for the buyer! I've had pleasant experiences on eBay and I am a nice man but please don't waste our time if you are not a serious buyer or do not have the funds to complete transaction. I will report non-paying bidders to eBay. 

 I expect a $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction close. I can store truck in my garage for 30 days until you or your shipper comes to get it. It must be paid in full for me to store. 

I will entertain reasonable offers. If you are out of USA, I would gladly drive truck to one of the ports here in Charleston to be shipped to you. (Buyer pays for actual shipping) The first vehicle I sold on eBay went to Holland!

Thanks for looking at my auction!

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
