This is a rare 1968 Chevrolet Longhorn 3/4 ton 2WD pickup truck. This truck originally came with a 327 but now has a 350 with approximately 20,000 miles on it. It runs excellent and the original 400 Turbo-hydramatic trans works smoothly.I do have an original 1968 truck 327 that I will sell if interested.
This truck came equip with factory power brakes ( I do have the original PB and will include them in this auction) but they have been replaced with manual brakes. Brakes work great.
In 1968,the Longhorn model debuted on 3/4 ton trucks.These have a 133" wheelbase.... identical to the one ton vehicles, and an extra 6" was added to the bed. Longhorns, were 2wd only; no factory Longhorn 4x4 were built. These trucks are extra heavy duty with leaf spring/coil rear-ends. Because these were designed to carry larger loads than other pickups, it’s been engineered for extra support and better balance all along its 133 inch wheelbase. Its rear suspension, for instance, is built around tough two stage leaf springs for steadier going and surer handling.’ (Coil spring front suspension teams with the rear leaf springs.)You can haul an 11 foot camper and with the bumper that slides out another 3', you can pull your boat and have easy access to your spare tire if you get a flat as the bumper opens up as well.
All sheet metal is in very SOLID condition with NO rust in the usual places and very minor surface rust here and there. This was painted years ago and was NOT painted over rust or bondo.
The bed of the truck has the original wood bed that appears to be in good condition... custom diamond plating was installed over the original bed floor. The chrome was removed to begin a restoration but unfortunately, has since been lost. All glass is good and everything opens and closes like it should. This truck came with 3 factory fuel tanks, bucket seats, and A/C. Seats were replaced with a bench seat (I have original 1968 bucket seats that came out of a 1-ton truck that I will sell if interested...needs reupholstered) and A/C was removed. I'm not sure about the gearing but it is high geared and will go 70 MPH easy on the freeway.Tires have approximately 70% tread left. Will make a road trip...no problem.
This a very nice daily driver or an EXCELLENT SOLID truck to restore.
Please don't bid unless you have more than 10 positive feedback or bid will be removed.
I wanted to include that I do have most of the original A/C parts but not all... I will include these parts with the truck to the winning bidder.
To clarify some of the questions about this truck.... This is a 1968 Chevrolet Custom Camper Longhorn 2wd 3/4 Ton Pickup that originally came with a 327, bucket seats, A/C, power brakes, & 3 fuel tanks. I do have a factory 1968 truck 327 (NOT the original)...needs rebuilt that I will sell...I have buckets seats for this truck...they need upholstered...I will sell. Lastly, I have the original factory power brakes that will be included with the truck to the winning bidder. This is a beautiful solid truck that has been taken care of and is in excellent condition for this type truck. The collector will appreciate this one.

Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]
Tue, Dec 2 2014The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.

Is this GM's next electric crossover?
Thu, Nov 16 2017GM made headlines this week when CEO Mary Barra presented the company's electrification and automation plans at the Barclays Global Automotive Conference in New York. "We are committed to a future electric vehicle portfolio that will be profitable," Barra said, which could be taken as a jab at Tesla. In the presentation ( PDF here), though, we see a new vehicle in a slide titled "Leveraging existing BEV platform to expand in near term." The vehicle, seen above, accompanied the captions "New CUV entries" and "two entries by 2020." Is this a sneak preview of an upcoming electric crossover from GM? The image seems too realistic and intentional to be a random placeholder. If this is, indeed, an upcoming battery-electric CUV based on the Bolt, the question remains: Will it be a Chevy or a Buick? It has no visible badging, but it shares DNA from both brands. As Inside EVs points out, though, it does bear a resemblance to the Chevrolet FNR-X concept unveiled in Shanghai earlier this year. With two CUVs on the way, it's not unthinkable that there could be a version for each brand. In addition to this slide, the presentation includes plans for an "All new multi-brand, multi-segment platform" launching in 2021. The all-new modular battery system will cost less than $100 per kWh, providing higher energy density and faster charging. The platform will host at least nine different vehicles, including a compact crossover, seven-seat luxury SUV and a large commercial van. GM has said it will launch 20 new EVs by 2023, and that it targets 1 million EV sales per year by 2026. Many of those sales will be in China. Related Video:
