NOTE : Pick up is Nampa Idaho .Oregon Border ...No longer Scottsdale AZ ..If you are looking at this ad then you already know that these C10 trucks are among the coolest trucks on the road. This is my 1972 Chevy C10 pick up. It is a Fleetside short wheel base truck, which is by far the most desirable of all the C10 range! This really is an amazing find and a great basis for a restoration or just a mild lowering for a quick attitude change.
From the seller:the truck is showing 87,000 miles currently and was disclosed to me as being the original milage. I have no reason to doubt this statement as the truck is very unmolested and original. This is an original Blue and white truck which is by far, the best looking color combo on these trucks. The paint is still very presentable and with a buffer, it shines up pretty well. I did a quick once over on the whole truck and it comes back very nicely. The truck does have some rust as is typical of these trucks. It has the usual rust in the rockers, door bottoms, and cab corners. It also has rust in the bed. The worst is on the drivers side where it has rusted through. It could be patched but a replacement side is so cheap, that you could go that route if you wanted. I left it since the paint is still strong and matches the patina of the rest of the truck, and honestly it never bothered me. Also the tailgate has a dent in it where it looks like something was dropped on it, as you can see in the photos. . Everything underneath the truck is original and untouched!. Another great thing about this truck is it has all the factory trim still in place, both body and rocker trim giving it a much more deluxe look. All the trim is still there and in good shape.
For power this truck was born with a 350/350 combo motor and trans. It still has the original motor and trans( Matching Numbers) in it which is awesome! The motor runs strong and the trans goes through the gears like it is supposed to. I have not had any issues with the drivetrain in the truck. The truck starts up with just one pump of the gas pedal like it should. Just continue to change the oil regularly and service the other fluids and you should be good to go for many more miles. No strange noises, no stumbling, just good solid american V8 noise coming out of the original exhaust. This is what you would expect from a low mileage original truck. The brakes were recently serviced and work just as they should. This truck, being a 72 comes from the factory with disc front brakes. This particular truck does not have power brakes or power steering, but you never notice either being heavy. The tires are newer and have decent tread left on them, and the factory heater works as well and keeps the cab nice and warm.The shifter lever is hard to get into park and I will try to adjust it this week- I got it from the guy in Boise like that and have not adjusted it .
Inside the truck it is mostly original. The dash pad has been replaced with a new one and the steering wheel is new also. It looks very nice and clean inside with the new gauge bezel to clean up the dash. Seat cover does not have any splits or cuts in it. The door panels still have good color on them and both original arm rests are there too. The stock rubber floor mat is there but has some splits near the gas pedal. I chose to leave this as its original and fits the patina of the truck. Everything works on the dash, lights, heater, wipers, and all the gauges and warning lights. Overall the inside of this truck is very clean and great looking. All the glass on the truck is good too with no cracks or chips. Its well preserved.
In total this is a very cool truck that has been able to resist modifications throughout its life. Trucks like that are hard to find. Another great upside to this truck is that it comes with the original window sticker, owners manual along with the original owners info and the metal build tag as well as the dealership that sold the truck. Things like that solidify the history of this truck and make it so much more interesting. The glove box door build sticker is still there and in great shape showing all the options that this truck came with. The truck has a clean CA title in my name and is ready to go. This is a great candidate for a full restoration since everything is still original and born with the truck, or just use it as is as a daily driver or shop truck. Selling as is, where is without exception. Note- We moved from Arizona and now live in the Oregon area, theTruck is stored and to be picked up in Oregon/Nampa Idaho border area (ou choose), can assist with shipping..... Must be paid within 72 hours of auction end , selling at NO RESERVE... Thanks for checking it out. Note: Pick up is in Oregon/Idaho Border (near Nampa Idaho) ...no longer AZ.
On Jan-30-13 at 08:15:03 PST, seller added the following information:
I have had numerous emails on the truck but the answers are not being posted for some reason so I will add to the listing most of the questions: Yes the floors can be patched and do not need full replace, yes the bedsides need the same work , yes the fenders are good except the lower rear and the doors are the same ,yes it runs and drives out good, no work need on engine or trans except normal maint, yes the seat and interior is good, yes I have contacts to a shipper that goes to the east and midwest and down to Texas area. We live near the Idaho/Oregon border and the truck will be picked up at 97914. Thank you and good luck.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
