You are bidding on a 1971 Chevy Cheyenne Super C10 .  This truck was purchased with the intention of doing a full frame off restore, but after going through and inspecting/replacing all the mechanical issues of the truck (and with several projects already in the garage), it became a driver.   This truck is an original unmolested truck (aside from the engine) that is NOT a Frankenstein creation and has all the original sheet metal that came with the truck whenever it rolled off the assembly line.   This truck was purchased from the family that had owned it for a majority of its life….it has not been juggled around from owner to owner .  The Cheyenne Super is an extremely popular and sought after style of the C10 trucks as it was top of the line in late ’71 and ’72.  I am head deep in 2 other restorations and simply do not have the time or room for the truck. This truck is ready to be driven as is or is a perfect candidate for a restoration.

Engine Compartment:

-v8 305 Chevy that is extremely practical for everyday driving and gets great gas mileage.  It starts, idles & runs perfectly....very dependable and mechanically sound.

-Quadrajet 4 barrel carb

-350 Turbo Automatic Transmission that shifts great

-Erson cast aluminum valve covers

-New water pump

-Power Steering

-Power  Brakes

-Aftermarket 3 core radiator

 

Exterior:

-The body of this truck has no dings and is perfectly straight

-The truck has nice patina as is, but if you want to do a complete restore, it does have the typical rust in the lower pocket of the right front fender, around the fender on the left back driver's side, under the passenger door corner, and in front of the passenger tub in the bed  (please note pics)….all are easy to fix as plenty of companies offer replacement panels, and these issues are very typical of these trucks.  If you buy one of these trucks and these are not issues, more than likely they have already been addressed.  The inner fenders also have the traditional rust in the front. 

-Rockers, cab corners  have been replaced and are in excellent shape

-5 lug with power steering & disc front brakes

-All steering/suspension components on this truck are tight

-Undercarriage is great shape...please note pics.

-New shocks

-Front & rear bumpers look new

-Stock height

-Tires are practically new with Eagle Alloy wheels

-Hitch

 

Interior:

-Tilt steering

-All seals & glass are in good shape

-All gauges/electrical work

 

If you are looking for a C10 pickup, you are already aware of the potential and value of the Cheyenne Super, and understand how difficult they are becoming to locate.   Overall, this truck is extremely solid and is a very nice dependable driver as is or if you are looking for a candidate to restore, this truck provides the perfect platform to start.  If you have any questions or want other pics, please don’t hesitate to ask. Buyer is responsible for shipping/pickup of vehicle.  Serious inquires only!  A Paypal deposit of $500 is due within 48 hrs. from auctions end with balance due in cash, wire transfer, or cashier’s check from bank(check will need to be verified before truck is released)Clean/Clear title in my name with matching numbers on the original door tag ready to transfer…..

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

Even if GM does close all 5 of those plants, it'll still have too many

Wed, Nov 28 2018

DETROIT — General Motors' monumental announcement on Monday that it will close three car assembly plants and two powertrain plants in North America and slash its workforce will only partially close the gap between capacity and demand for the automaker's sedans, according to a Reuters analysis of industry production and capacity data. Sales of traditional passenger cars in North America have been declining for the past six years and are still withering. After GM ends production next year at factories in Michigan, Ohio and Ontario, it will still have four U.S. passenger-car plants — all operating at less than 50 percent of rated capacity, according to figures supplied by LMC Automotive. In comparison, Detroit-based rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will have one car plant each in North America after 2019. The Detroit Three are facing rapidly dwindling demand for traditional passenger cars from U.S. consumers, many of whom have shifted to crossovers and trucks. Passenger cars accounted for 48 percent of retail light-vehicle sales in the United States in 2014, according to market researchers at J.D. Power and Associates. This year, sedans will account for less than a third of light vehicle sales. That shift in turn has left most North American car plants operating far below their rated capacities, while many SUV and truck plants are running on overtime. The collapse in passenger-car demand is a challenge for nearly all automakers in the United States, including Japan's Toyota and Honda, which have the top-selling models in the compact and midsize car segments. Toyota executives said last month they are evaluating the company's U.S. model lineup. But Toyota also plans to build compact Corolla sedans at a new $1.6 billion factory it is building in Alabama with partner Mazda. The obstacles facing GM in its plans to close more auto factories became apparent on Tuesday as U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to block payment of government electric vehicle subsidies to GM. While it is not certain that Trump unilaterally has the power to do that, he made it clear he intends to use his office to pressure the company to keep open a small car plant in Ohio that GM says will stop building vehicles in March.
