Hello, I’m listing a very cool 62 Chevrolet with documentation to its original owner, and documentation of its mileage over the years.
I bought the car in 2022 from a person who put new tires on the car, changed the oil, “went through the brakes” and other work to get the car roadworthy after what I believe to be many years off the road.
It's a 1962 Chevrolet C10 long bed fleetside pickup truck, Bought new from Gene Hamilton Chevrolet on 5-10-62, Dry Oregon truck, All original survivor from the Brigade blue paint to the factory wheels and hubcaps
235ci 6 cylinder engine, 3 speed manual transmission, runs, drives, shifts and stops fine.
I have had a number of work items completed by pro shops, including a new exhaust system installed, new shifter bushings, had the carburetor professionally rebuilt, new turn signal switch, new horn, new wiper arms, new side and rear view mirror.
The car has all the patina, scratches, and dents from farm life, but lived its life in Oregon and does not seem to be ever driven in the salt. Sheetmetal is solid. I have kept it in a barn during the two winters I owned it. The back window is cracked, and there are dents/scratches all over the car. There is a rip in the drivers seat - I believe the interior is all original. The speedometer needle sticks but the odometer seems to operate fine despite the needle sticking, I’ve taken a video to show what I mean. I drive this car all over town, runs to the hardware store, and it gets more enthusiasm/thumbs up than any of my sports/muscle cars do!
The car comes with original manuals, warranty cards, maintenance documentation, and this letter from the original owners:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN...•
The above designated '62 Chev pickup was purchased by Elmer H. Taylor on behalf of, my father, A C Taylor, from Gene Hamilton Chev on Mound Road in Warren, MI in 1962.
With the help of another friend in Warren, we built a slide in camper which could sleep four people and drove it all the way to the farm in Oregon.
This pickup odometer shows the correct mileage this vehicle has been driven, as far as I know.
The only modification I know of has been the addition of another leaf in the rear springs in order to get more farm items such as grain sacks, hay bales, and loads of sheep or pigs transported to the auction markets In the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
It has never been in any major accident or wreck. Only the typical farm scrapes against fence posts or stumps while bringing in loads of fire wood for the stoves of the farm house.
It was always kept in the barn and never left out in the weather. It has always been owned by a Taylor family member and kept in Oregon until March 13, 2016 when it was hauled to Washington.
