Frame Off Restored To Stock Orginal Condition on 2040-cars

                                      1972 Chevy C-10 / Custom

               Very hard to find stock, unmolested Tangier Orange & Birch White  -  350 / 4bbl, manual trans, gauge package, factory AM/FM radio, deluxe seat, molded door panels and headliner

         This truck has an interesting background.  It was a family heirloom that later became a father/son stock restoration project about 9 years ago. They did a 3/4 frame-off (except for the cab bare shell) full mechanical and cosmetic redo. The project took over 1-1/2 years of constant work and was almost completed when the father became suddenly ill and passed before it was completely finished. The son could not bear to complete their work or drive it anymore. Then it just sat…………………………………………………..until I rescued it. 

      I bought the truck with the sole agreement I would finish it properly. His hope is that someone will appreciate the time, effort and commitment that he and his dad put into it. Please know I love these trucks, have restored and owned so many I could tell you where, what type, and size of any fastener on any part. Here is the list of systems of what has been addressed collectively to date.

  Body:  All parts were removed from the frame except for the cab bare shell. The cab mounts and rockers were replaced. The underside was hand-cleaned, treated with POR-15 then undercoated with Wurth professional coating.  The bed inside and top rails were sanded and sprayed with Rhino liner, then top coated with matching factory color. The inside of the bed floor and sides looks like it has never been used.  The underside was also POR-15’d and undercoated with Wurth. The truck was completely painted in the original factory color by the dad and son while it was apart before reassembly.

Engine  Rebuilt stock long block with Edelbrock Performer intake and Holley 650 with electric choke properly calibrated for this application. Dressed to look like a period correct Z-28 (optioned like it would have come that way)

Transmission  New flywheel, clutch assembly, pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, oil changed to synthetic, new u-joints

Cooling System  New water pump, radiator, heater core, all hoses and clamps, coolant, heater box case restored

Fuel System  New gas tank, seat insulator, sender, lines, pump and added inline fuel filter, rebuilt carburetor

Brakes  Rebuilt master cylinder, new rear brakes and wheel cylinders, flushed entire brake system; new fluid. The left rear drum still wears the GM factory sticker.

 Electrical  New alternator, battery, battery cables, headlights, front and all side marker lenses are new as well as most all the bulbs have been replaced

 Interior  Steering wheel is new reproduction correct GM Z-15 optional wheel, new floor mat, new headliner, the window regulators and locks have been cleaned and lubricated, the original AM/FM radio works well

 Bumpers  The front is re-chromed and the rear is new

    I have had many of these trucks and this one is probably overall one of the cleanest, nicest driving stock examples I’ve had in some time. When driving the steering wheel is straight, no rattles or squeak’s, it shifts nice and the brake pedal is firm with very smooth stopping. Shown is an original GM Service manual, original dealers sales brochure and owners manual.

    This color combo is also my favorite. It is nice enough to take to the local cruise-ins but could just use as weekend family truck. All it needs is new owner that can appreciate what has been done and enjoy it!

Bidders, bid with confidence!  Look at my rating - 100%. I have been a member here for many years. That didn’t happen by accident. I have that because I’m an honest guy and very easy to deal with. I have completed almost 400 transactions where some of the dollar amounts were very high.

International Bidders  I have sold and assisted with delivery of vehicles to countries outside of the US. There is an inland shipping port near me as well as a sea port @60 miles further. I am very experienced dealing with international buyers / shippers / delivery.

Questions   If you would rather ask / discuss by phone instead of email, contact me here and I will provide my number.

Transporting   If the winning bidder lives outside my area you could:

1) Rent a car and drive here then drive the truck back. There is an Enterprise car rental facility close by.

2) There is a major airport near me you could fly in and drive the truck home.

3) I have a great guy with a roll back who is very professional and courteous who can safely and reliably transport the truck to your home. His rates are competitive.

4) You send your own transport to pick it up. I will accommodate you with any of these as best as I can with my schedule.

 Payment  $1500.00 deposit by PayPal due immediately after auctions end. The balance to be paid by wire transfer - or - cash at pick up. With PayPal fees going into outer-space, I started using bank wire transfers some time ago and found them to be easier, the fees are almost nothing and safer than PayPal. Anyone who wants to bid and is not familiar with bank wire transfers contact me first and I will explain in detail; it's easy as pie!

 Reserve Price  Is very fair and under the current market. I am open to buy it now offers and reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks!

Bidders with no or low feedback scores  Contact me first but know your bids will most likely be cancelled out.

Updated  Payment Instructions  To clarify the terms above: The balance is due within 48 hours of auctions close by wire transfer unless picking up in person and paying cash. If in person, the truck must be picked up within 7 days of auctions end. Thanks! 

ZERO  / LOW Feedback Bidders    Attention!  I just cancelled a bidder with zero feedback who did not respond to repeated emails. I just took a $1000 loss on the current bid. Again to show I am an honest in this process I do not do 'ghost' bidding to drive the auction up - OR - allow people to bid with no history and do not respond to polite emails requesting clarification. Sorry - Thanks!
