1962 Chevy Rampside Pickup-52 Yr. Old Patina- Barn Find


Up for sale is a very rare, 1962 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside pickup truck aka "FC" (Forward Control)-Flat 6 cylinder /3 spd. manual /145 CID) This vehicle was acquired from the original owner this year and was revived to its current running and driving condition.  It has a clear NJ title and is registered as a 2014 historic vehicle (QQ) in NJ.  The truck comes in a very rare and original color combination -White with Omaha orange stripe (the original paint). The interior is a gold and white painted cab with orange vinyl and printed fabric seats also original. This truck lived and worked in Northern NJ most it's life as a roofing contractor workhorse and was parked back in the mid 90's. Only 4,100 units were made in 1962 and there are none left to speak of in this original condition. Barn Find-Original. Any Rampside especially in New Jersey, has been modified or molested in some way or repainted. Not this one. This one is in a time warp! Look at the photos!

 It was originally purchased at H.O.B. Motors in Plainfield, NJ.  and the dealer logo is still mostly in tact on the rear panel. It has 60,000 +/- original miles on the odometer. The engine was rebuilt by the original owner at 55,000 miles. It runs, stops, and drives very well for its age. There are Bias Ply tires on the rear wheels and radials up front for easier handling.  It has an amazing 52 year old color patina.  The dash is radio delete but has a ash tray and glove box as the options. The heat works, the wipers work, the lights work, even the cigarette lighter works!  The frame is very solid. It is a tank. The FC Rampside was just tuned up and has new brakes and brake lines all the way around. The gas tank was removed, chemically cleaned and washed and re-installed.  All glass is good with no cracks.  This vehicle has rust. Specifically, the door rockers/steps on both sides need to be replaced and the driver's side bed rocker needs to be replaced.  The floors are solid with the exception of the areas adjacent to the rockers but nothing major. The bed is very solid with only surface rust. No holes. Doors are good and fit and latch properly. Has some dings in the bumpers but chrome is decent.

Here are some things that will need attention for the prospective buyer. 
  • Driver and passenger side floor patches are required
  • Driver and passenger side dog leg rocker/steps need to be replaced.   I have replacement dogleg rockers in hand
  • Driver side bed rocker panel needs replacement - I have the panels in hand
  • The carburetors need a rebuild and adjustments to run optimally
  • It needs new tires all the way around
  • It needs window felts as the windows shake in the frame
  • It needs shocks al the way around
  • It needs door weather strips once doglegs are replaced
  • The windshield rubber is all there should be replaced as its dry
  • The bench seat needs to be re-upholstered

This truck can be driven as a daily driver or lowered, slammed, bagged, as a rat rod or completely restored. It is the perfect candidate as it is unmolested. You never see these trucks anywhere. Yes...you see the Ford Econoline pickups and the Dodge A-100's but it is very rare to see the Chevy Rampside from that era. It was only made from 1961-65 and each year the production numbers dwindled down. If you want to turn heads this truck is all you need. I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible based on the prior owner information, my inspection, and  an auto technician's feedback. It is not perfect by any means but its a true running survivor! Drive it home.

 Make an offer. I might say yes!

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories

Sat, Feb 29 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:
