Looking for vintage, super cool and something no one else has?

Offered for sale is a 1965 Chevy C-10 Fleetside LWB. V-8, 3-speed, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning with an original Pullman Camper.

For Sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction early.

This truck came from a collection in Oregon that was mainly ford vehicles with this chevy as an exception. The collection was bought by someone in Florida. He kept most of the fords and sold me the chevy.

The truck was built in the Fremont California plant and what information I was able to track was that it was titled in California, Washington and Oregon. The odometer is showing 36k. I found a log book with entries in the high 90?s, from not all that long ago, so that would put it at 136k miles. I was told it had two owners before the collector bought it.

This truck has a very unique camper built by Downey Sheet Metal Shop (California). The company made these campers in the 50?s and 60?s. I was told this camper has been with this truck since new. It has a 1964 serial number, on the camper, so that coincides. The camper is intact and everything works. It has the original canvas that is in excellent condition. The (double) roof slides back for shade and weather protection and none to three panels can be easily added. It does not have the original mattress or curtains as they all hit the dumpster immediately after I got it home. I ordered a new mattress and material and the bride made a mattress cover, pillow cover, sheet and matching curtains. The only thing else we did to the camper was makeup and replace the missing trim around the bed compartment doors and replace the shore power connection.

The truck ran and drove great and solid ? tight and no rattles. It has a newer GM target (crate) 350 engine but had no other toys so we added the ps, pb and a/c here at our shop in Kissimmee. The a/c also incorporates a heater and defroster. The truck had original upholstery that was still all there but cracked in places so we reupholstered the seat. It has two additional fuel tanks mounted under the bed with a switching valve next to the driver.

This was a repaint and it looks good. I had to spot in a couple places where it was ?keyed? on the left door and quarter. The outside mirrors were rusted and replaced.

The only thing that does not work is the original radio. I replaced the speaker but the radio just crackles. I haven?t done anything with this as I assume a new owner will want something different. I have a local shop here that can repair the radio if you want original.

This thing runs, steers, stops, and drives great. You will not be disappointed ? and it attracts a lot of attention.

I have used this twice at dirt bike races in Florida, in the summer, and slept in the camper without needing any more than the side and back windows opened ? although I had a fan ready just in case.

I have the tailgate ? I have no idea if it is the original one - I was told it was. It is straight as an arrow.

Selling price is $14,900. I don?t think there is another truck quite like this available. If someone wanted the truck without the camper I would also consider that.

Thanks for looking.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

2015 Chevy Silverado Custom Sport is subtle in black

Mon, Jan 12 2015

In a world where trucks are growing bigger, bolder grilles and more muscle-bound looks, Chevrolet is trying something a bit different with its recently revealed Custom Sport edition for the 2015 Silverado at the this year's Detroit Auto Show. The edition leans on being understated, instead of screaming about its abilities. The design is supposed to be a throwback to the Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late '60s that brought a touch of elegance to these usually utilitarian vehicles at the time. The heart of the package is its monochromatic body-color touches for the bumpers and grille surround. The one on display at the show is especially attractive with a chrome-accented black grille that fits perfectly with the rest of the body. The edition does get a bit more shine with chrome covering the 20-inch wheels, door handles, mirror caps and side moldings. In addition, buyers get projector beam headlights, tow hooks and heated power mirrors. The custom package is available on the LT trim in black or white and on the LTZ in black or White Diamond Tricoat. Take a look at this monochromatic take on the Silverado as it sits in the Motor City. 2015 SILVERADO OFFERS CUSTOM SPORT PACKAGE Inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks that helped launch personal-use pickups DETROIT, 07/01/15 – With the new 2015 Silverado Custom Sport special edition, Chevrolet pays homage to one of its most iconic pickups, adding a sophisticated monochromatic look to double- and crew-cab Silverados. The Custom Sport package features body-colored front and rear bumpers and a body-colored grille surround with a chrome-accented black grille. Other accents include 20-inch chrome wheels, chrome door handles and mirror caps, and chrome body-side moldings. The package also includes projector beam headlamps, tow hooks and heated power-adjusted mirrors. "The Custom Sport special edition was inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late 1960s," said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. "Those CST models added a touch of elegance to a great all-around truck, just like the Custom Sport package for the new Silverado." The redesigned 1967 Chevrolet pickup entered the market at a time when trucks were starting to move off the jobsites and into the driveways of cities and suburbs. The 1967 Custom Sport Truck, with its bright trim, plush carpet and bucket seats, helped launch a wave of personal use pickups that continues today.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06

Tue, Nov 25 2014

The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.
