1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup Custom 283 V8 4-Speed Small Window One Owner Survivor Hello in
eBay land. I have a great find for
you! This is a 1963 1/2 ton Chevrolet C-10 with the original 283 V8 and all of its original paint too. Other than the seat, this truck is all factory
original including the paint. I found this
truck in the barn on a farm just like one would expect. It had not been started or moved since at
least 1990. I doubt if it was used much
before then either. The plates are
original Pacific Wonderland and the bumper still has the brand of the local
Chevy dealer that sold it new. I fell in love
with the truck right away. It was far
from perfect and still is.. The bones
are what I look for in a find like this one.
The fact that a vehicle is only original once motivates me to buy these
whenever I find them. I mean really, how
many like this are out there anymore? I
hope that what I did to it and what I purposefully didn’t do will help tell the
story and give the new buyer either a starting point or a finished truck
depending on their desire. The fact
that the truck only had one owner is another check in the plus column for this
Chevrolet.. Unfortunately, the owner
died and I didn’t get to talk to him about the truck. I bought it from his estate and had it towed
to my shop. The seat was
all ripped up, the brakes were frozen, the gas in the tank was past old, the
shocks were solid, and it had not been started in an eon. I had some work to do.. We first pulled the seat out and sent it to
the upholsterer’s so he could source the material and get it looking right
again. Next we removed the gas tank and
sent it out to be cleaned and sealed.
While this was happening away from the shop we got started on the brakes
and shocks. I also pulled the carburetor
and personally rebuilt it. (I wish all
carbs were this simple). We also
started polishing the finish. It really
came back nice.. Yes, there is a lot of
patina.. I wouldn’t change any of
it.. You can’t make a truck look like
this on purpose.. It takes 50 years of
life to do it. The truck is really quite
solid. It has lived its whole life in
Oregon and even though it rains.. (a
lot) we don’t salt the roads and
vehicles remain pretty rust free around here.
There are a few spots that would be easy to fix, but I
wanted to show the truck honestly and let the next owner decide how far to go
with the truck’s restoration. The
passenger front corner of the hood has a spot, there is a pin hole in the driver’s
rocker panel on the top side, and there is a smale hole on the inside of the tailgate. That’s all I could
find though. The floor boards are solid
and so is the frame. The wood bed
is also original and has some soft wood and splits.. It’s totally useable, but also easy to
replace too. If I was keeping the truck
that would be my first “do it yourself” project.. I should
take a second and talk about the engine.
Just from an aesthetic point of view it is really stunning. Totally clean and original.. Simple and pretty and factory in every way. Once we got
the tank back and the carb was back in place we added fuel, installed a new
battery and gave her a crank.. She
started immediately and ran as smooth as anybody could hope. I cannot say enough about the motor in this
truck.. The engine is rock solid. It does not move at all. It revs smoothly and delivers even power
too. No leaks no issues at
all.. It is an old design so you need to pull the choke when its cold and let it warm up a bit.. it is beautiful though and very simple to understand. I couldn’t wait
to drive it so I jumped in on a bucket to check out the rest of it.. I’m sure the new brakes and shocks helped out
but I was really impressed. The clutch
is perfect as are all the syncros and even though there is no power steering or
brakes, it is super easy to drive..
(even sitting on a bucket J..) The heater
works, the blinkers work, the lights all work, the cool wipers work.. I was grinning from ear to ear.. I got the
seat back a few days later and wow.. I
mean show truck wow.. I put it in and we
were finished.. To sum up,
this is an original patina 1963 Chevrolet with a perfect seat and beautiful
engine. It may look old and tattered to
some, but that is the point.. It runs
and drives runs like a dream. This C-10
has a ton of vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future
appreciation. I am setting
the reserve very low and I know the Chevrolet will sell as
long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any
and all questions before bidding. #3. Please
contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is
an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to
describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees. #5. I will
not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the truck. Pay-Pal is for the deposits only, the balance
must be paid by certified check or wire.
Legitimate and legal buyers only please.
Just be real
and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or
her purchase. I have 100% positive
feedback and I plan on keeping that.
Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the
last second and worry about missing out.
Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two
Sun, Jun 19 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
Weekly Recap: Geneva's splendor reflects growing demand for ultra-luxury cars
Sat, Mar 7 2015Geneva is one of the most glittering auto shows in the world, but the list of high-powered and bespoke luxury cars was decadent this year even by the rich standards of the Swiss exhibition. It's great for enthusiasts to revel in the flame-throwing Aston Martin Vulcan, the racing-inspired elegance of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept and the insane performance of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, but there's a reason for all of this opulence: the luxury market is big business. And it's growing. IHS Automotive forecasts that so-called ultra-premium sales will nearly triple this decade from 123,000 to 353,000 units around the world. The estimate includes brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, but doesn't count BMW, Mercedes and Audi, which offer less expensive models in addition to their high-end flagships. Though IHS includes Porsche and its relatively large volume in the study, the ultra-premium segment is still set grow at about the same rate, even without the German automaker's figures. So what is propelling all of this growth in the most expensive segment of the auto industry? Put simply, there's more rich people. IHS Automotive principal analyst Tim Urquhart pointed to economic expansion in China, market recovery in the United States and a surge in the lucrative technology sector as contributing factors. This dovetails with a research report by UK-based Oxfam, an international relief organization, which found the world's richest one-percent owned 48 percent of global wealth in 2014, and it's expected to increase to more than 50 percent by 2016. View 17 Photos Carmakers are moving quickly to capitalize with new products, expanding their portfolios with low-volume speedsters like the 800-hp V12 Vulcan at Geneva, and plans to enter new segments, like Rolls-Royce's strategy to make an SUV. "Ultra-premium carmakers are looking to explore ways of growing their product offerings, and thus their bottom lines, in this most potentially profitable of segments," Urquhart wrote in a report on the Geneva show. In a nutshell, there are more choices for people with more money. It's a good time to have expensive taste. Other News & Notes 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata production launches It won't be long now. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata arrives later this year, and it's officially in production. Mazda announced this week that the roadster began rolling off the assembly line at its Ujina factory in Hiroshima, Japan.
