1973 Chevrolet Cheyenne C-10 Stepside Pick Up, One Owner 350 Automatic on 2040-cars
United States
|
Regretfully, I am selling my 1973 Chevrolet Cheyenne C-10 Stepside pick up. I bought this truck from the estate of the original owner after he passed away. It was his "baby" for over 40 years and always garage kept. I intended to use it as an all-around truck, but after driving it for about 100 miles, I decided this SUPER original stepside deserved something better. This really is the perfect starting point for a show truck or street rod. Everything on this truck screams original. The bed has all its original wood planks, and I was told it is the original paint covering them. The original owner had the dealership install a genuine Leer, all aluminum, bed cap the day he bought it (which I am told is an extremely rare and valuable retro / nostalgia item for collectors in this condition). This cap stayed on the truck for the entire 41 years of its life, along with a protective carpet covering the bed, which preserved the wood in remarkable condition. The entire truck was protected with ZIEBART from day one. From what I can tell, the truck is extremely solid with very little rust. The body is very straight and has no big dings or dents Most of the paint appears to be original, with some touch up work done. The paint looks decent, but it definitely isn't show quality. Don't get me wrong, it still turns a lot of heads, it just isn't perfect. The chrome is fantastic all around the truck. The original grill is in perfect shape with no cracks. The interior is very original and still retains its original carpet which is in fantastic condition. The dash is gorgeous with no cracks. The gauges look like new. The seat has a couple of small splits, but the foam is all in tact, and the small splits can easily be repaired. I was actually surprised by the condition of the seats when I lifted the cover. The 350 V8 engine runs very good but has not been tuned up in who knows how long. The transmission shifts very smoothly, and the front suspension is extremely tight. When I bought this truck, I drove it home for nearly three straight hours and had no problems. I was actually extremely surprised with how tight the steering felt for a truck of this age. Very few rattles, noises, etc. I cannot verify this, but I was told even the spare tire is the factory original. This truck is certainly not perfect, but it is in amazing condition for its age. Trucks this original are extremely rare, and this one will make a fantastic restoration or simply drive it as it is. I encourage anyone interested in the truck to come see it in person and inspect it before the auction ends. After that, high bidder owns it. |

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years
Wed, Jan 28 2015If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
