CLASSIC SHOW TRUCK FOR SALE

1968 Chevy C-10 Fleetside SWB


Completely restored; ground up, frame-off, full rotisserie with all new parts. Only 1,100 miles.

Frame and cab are matching numbers.

Like most true gear-head projects this car started out to be a “dail driver”. Haha

As usually happens with us perfectionists, every time I replaced a old part with a new one I kept finding it made all the others look bad. So what do you do...well if you are really picky you replace them all and end up with a show truck that is driveable on a daily basis.


These 1967-1968 Chevy C-10 shortbed trucks are HOT and very collectible. This one is the best of the best, and it is totally done and ready to start winning trophies or simply being admired at your local cruise-in. Has the highly sought-after small back window for that rare old-school look.


Fully professionally rebuilt 305 Chevy (.30 over) bored, balanced, blueprinted, decked, port-matched, roller rockers, GM roller cam. Built for durability and mpg, not racing...but with 3.73 rear end gears it'll move.  Probably puts out 275-300 hp on pump gas getting over 20 mpg with its' AOD trans. Has Edelbrock Performer intake and matching 600 cfm electric choke carb with all Lokar cable/kickdown/selector cables etc.

Arp bolts and all new complete custom wiring. Noisy gear drive and Flomasters with 3” stainless exhaust tips give it a truly great sound.


Trans: Fully rebuilt Corvette 700R4 overdrive trans with shift kit.


New radiator, 3 HP mini-starter, ceramic coated headers, stainless cut-outs for exhaust. Front power disc brakes with 2.5” dropped spindles and 3” lower front coil; rear has 4” dropped coil...all new. Entire suspension and steering is completely new. Gas tank moved from inside tank to between cab rails for safety (21 gal)...filler concealed in bed of truck for security/looks.


Frame was stripped to bare metal (as was the entire truck) and then the frame was primed and painted with numerous coats Eastwood's Ceramic frame paint. Has beautifl black Haartz canvas premium flush-fit Craftec tonneau.


Bed is sprayed color-matched heavy-duty rubberized Raptor protective covering so it can haul items to car shows without marring up a wood floor.

Has a fire extinguisher and full-sized spare tire and jack mounted in bed.


Has all new Classic Industries Velocity ($800) gauges in new dash pod and pad. Note: The colorbar under thye dash does not go with the sale.


Over $10,000 in body and paint using only the best PPG paint and clear. Custom Metallic Pearl Red (reddish metallic maroon) paint was $800 gallon alone...and all PPG primers, sealers and clear were the best PPG available. Best Goodmark front quarteres, doors, cab corners and rockers plus new hood (costing over $2,200 for all parts prior to “fitting” by an expert fabricator) was smoothed to perfection...gaps are great. Tons of blocksanding went into paint prep and follow-up color-sanding. Firewall is smoothed.


BMW 5 series Antracite leather buckets, center and overhead consoles. All new carpeting, usb stereo with power amp, and power recessed antenna. Power steering and front power disc brakes all totally new. $2000 invested in Vintage Air Sure-Fit A/C, heat and defrost (blows cold). New dash pad, weatherstripping, window fuzzies and all new glass. Lots and lots of Dynamat throughout so the truck is super insulated and quiet with great audio sound clarity.


Chromed 16” American Racing IROC rims and new 255/65/16 General Grabber Ultra High Performance tires. All new complete front suspension with HD sway bar...corners like it is on rails. Of course, all rear brakes/shocks are new. Runs/drives awesome. Was always a Southern truck.

Front and rear bumpers were brand new... then I had them triple chromed show plated because I wasn't crazy about the cheezy chroming on the new bumpers I had bought. They now look great.


All headlight/tailight receptacles are new with all new nuts/bolts/screws. Has glass blue dots for olod school look. My wife says I have OCD. lmao


This truck gathers a crowd wherever it goes...and tons of “thumbs ups” while getting there.


No trades...only reluctantly selling to buy a friend's muscle car that I have been wanting for a while. Please NO Brokers...don't need help selling.


Hagerty places value at $45,000 which I feel is too high-although you could easily put that into one this nice. A few of similar apparent quality on eBay are listed for $33,000 to $40,000. You can't build it this well for my selling price-plus it could take years like mine did. Keep in mind it is a frame-off, nut and bolt restoration with most bolts replaced with all new GM bolts or stainless steel button head bolts. Grade 8 was used where applicable. Attention to detail is everywhere you look.


Has a truck cover that is included.


I invite personal inspections or can work with a local appraisor that you pay for. The truck looks much better in person as I am not much of a photographer. Have all documentation on the rebuilds.


Please DO NOT bid if you haven't got the money in hand, have to clear it with the wife first or are really just playing around here on eBay. Check my feedback...I have a perfect 100% rating.


There is a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit due within 24 hours of your having won the bid. Remember...this is a legal and binding contract.


Truck is sold As-Is, Where-Is without warranty. Should you have any questions please call me at 256/443.8846 and I will do my best to answer them. Can also provide names and contact numbers of fabricators and mechanics that have worked on this great show truck and that are familiar with the truck's condition.


Truck is located in Florence, AL (2 hours SW of Nashville or 2.5 hours NW of Birmingham...or fly into Huntsville, AL and drive your new baby home.

I am only 1 hour West of Huntsville (NW Alabama).


Truck will not be released until all funds have cleared my local bank via cash or wire transfer. Can work with your auto shipper regarding scheduling...shipping costs will be 100% your responsibility.

I can store the truck indoors for 10 days after the sale if needed.


I will not divulge the reserve (kinda destroys the whole auction concept), but it's a steal at the reserve price. So bid to own this classic beauty.

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt

Sat, Sep 12 2015

The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale.

On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
