Wind Gap, Pennsylvania, United States

CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a very cool 1968 Chevy C-10 Hot Rod Shop Truck with a chopped top, 350 V8 engine and a Muncie 4-speed car transmission. Please take the time to look over all 24 photos that I have listed here on this auction. You can also click on any photo to supersize and zoom in on all photos. This truck was originally a Virginia truck. It came to Pennsylvania in 1993 and has had the same owner for the last 20 years. It was customized and owner restored to his liking, and well maintained ever since. He had a small motorcycle shop and this truck was used as the shop truck to transport the bikes. It runs, drives, and stops great and can be enjoyed immediately on the day of purchase. It is however a northeast truck and shows some evidence of some rust issues that were addressed over the years. The body work is not 100% and is showing some age upon close inspection. This truck has great curb appeal and is a head turner with it's 4" chopped top, 5" dropped front spindles, 4" rear blocks and air shocks. It's also equipped with power steering and power disc brakes so it's a breeze to drive.
ENGINE: Engine is a chevy 350 cubic inch small block with a casting # 3970010 which was used from 1969-1979 in both truck and high performance applications. Most of these blocks had 4-bolt mains, but since the oil pan wasn't removed I can't make that claim. Heads are casting # 3782461 which is also a high performance item. As you can see in the picture showing the cylinder head casting # the engine is extremely clean inside. Engine is topped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and modern 4106 Edelbrock carburetor. It is also equipped with headers and reliable HEI ignition. It runs well with no noises or smoke. TRANSMISSION: The transmission is a Muncy 4-Speed with casting # 3885010. These were used in passenger cars from 1965-1967. The shifter is a Hurst Indy unit with a tall truck style handle. DIFFERENTIAL: Owner stated that the rear is the original non-posi unit that came with the truck. BODY: As you can see in the photos, this truck has it's own unique look and is chopped and lowered. All glass was professionally cut and is tinted. No plexiglass was used. Owner stated that the rear cab mounts and cab corners were replaced. Inside of the bed is coated with a Spray-On Bedliner, and is equipped with two front mounted heavy duty eyelets to tie down motorcycles or whatever you would like to haul and secure. Rolled pans were installed front and rear and custom front bumpers were installed to complete the custom look. Motorcycle turn signals were used as front turn signals and hot rod mirrors are installed on the top of the doors. There is some pitting on the door handles as they appear to be original units. All emblems were shaved. INTERIOR: Original bench seat was replaced with two wide seats with armrests, and a combination console/storage compartment in between. Bottom of driver's seat was just re-upholstered and also a new carpet was installed. An aftermarket stereo was installed to supply the tunes. The two switches that you see near the instrument cluster are for back-up and interior lights. Inside of the roof shows the extensive work that went into the chopping of the top. There is no headliner in the truck. It is black painted metal. Gas pedal, brake and clutch pedal pads were replaced as well as a new padded dash cover. The emergency brake does not hold and will need some attention. TAX ADVANTAGE: Since this is a commercial vehicle there are advertising tax advantages. Check with your accountant. TERMS OF SALE: Again this is a northeast truck, and did not spend most of it's life in the Arizona Desert. It is not a #1 truck at a #3 price. It is not a vehicle that you would take to one of the EGO-RAMA auctions in January and sell for stupid money. It is however priced reasonably for what it is so A REAL CAR PERSON CAN AFFORD OWN AND ENJOY IT. Please check my 100% positive feedback and buy with confidence. After reading the entire description and checking out all 24 photos here on the auction feel free to ask any questions on the truck. I have accurately and honestly described this truck to the best of my knowledge based on a complete physical inspection, driving, and servicing the truck and also based on conversation with the previous owner. If any prospective buyer has any further questions as to the integrity or condition of this vehicle then I welcome and encourage you to call me and make an appointment to come see the truck in person to satisfy any questions you may have. This truck is sold in AS-IS condition with no actual, implied, or expressed warranty or guarantee of any kind. The day you buy the truck it is your truck. That is why I provide a complete and thorough description with complete and thorough pictures and welcome any buyer to come see the truck in person. There will be an Ebay required $300.00 paypal non-refundable deposit to be paid buy the winning buyer using either the buy it now option or the winning buyer at the end of the auction. The most accepted, preferred and encouraged method of payment is funds in hand and a local pickup of the truck. Any other method will need to be discussed with me first and approved before proceeding with the sale. Shipping will be the financial responsibility of the buyer. I will be happy to recommend previously used shippers. I will also be happy to reasonably assist in the appointment set-up, pick-up and loading of the truck. My contact # is at the top and bottom of this ad to make it very easy for any prospective buyer to reach me at. So lastly any questions at all on this truck please don't hesitate to CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Thanks and good luck ! |

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
