1967 Chevy C10 Short Bed Street Rod – Show Truck
Overall Details:
You are looking at an amazing work or Art. Must be seen in person to appreciate the quality of this frame off restoration. No expense was spared and there are no short cuts whatsoever. It also only had the very best skilled experts touch it during throughout the entire build process. No shade tree 90% effort as seen on most restorations….. rather Barret Jackson Quality Craftsman that have perfected what they do. The detailed pics should show some of what I am talking about so you can get the idea. Of course, you can come see the car and inspect it, you will be speechless.
This truck has been driven enough to sort out any new build kinks and that could have been present. From the first start though, it has started, ran and driven perfect. In total, I’ve driven it 385 miles to be exact. It is 100%, no issues whatsoever. It drives much better than when it was new in 1967. Mechanically perfect, no issues of any kind. It drives straight, stops great, runs cool and handles excellent. Quality sound deadener was used throughout the interior compartment to cancel road noise, it is very quiet inside now and has a very solid, new car feel to it. The driving experience is nothing like you would expect from a 67 era truck, it is nothing short of exceptional in every way. The exhaust note is deep and throaty with some rumble, but not at all offensive or annoying like some. Turn key and go and it puts a smile on your face that just won’t go away. On a scale of 1-10 in the following categories I’d rate is has follows:
Quality of paint and body 10 Interior 10 Running and driving 10 Creature comforts 8 (no ac) Power / performance 10
Listing everything would take hours, here is a Summary:
Paint and body / Frame off rotisserie Restoration $25,000 Interior / Gauges / Column / Stereo / Wiring $ 2,500 496 CI BBC Hot Street Engine / 400 Built Trans / Rear $12,500 Suspension / Wheels / Fuel System / Cooling / Exhaust $11,000
TOTAL: $51,000
This build is extensively documented and will come with a huge pile or receipts and details. I have most, but not all of the build paper work.
That build dollar is not counting misc little things or the price of the truck to begin with. This is real money and some would try to recover 100% of the build cost or more. The way the truck looks and drives I think that would not be out of line. I took over the process on my dollar when a friend hit a ‘brick wall’ financially speaking to finish it due to the auto plant where he worked closing. I had a complete car that needed nothing so we made a trade. At that point, the truck was 70%-75% complete. I got into it from what I felt was a great deal and will pass that along and more to sell it. I knew the complete history of the build and had full confidence in all work that had been performed as I know the shop that did most of hit as well as him. I have a restoration shop, the remainder of the work was done by me.
Build Highlights:
Body, Paint and Frame:
The entire process started by with a complete disassembly of the truck, down to every single nut and bolt being removed, bagged and labeled. From there, all parts that were to be reused were media blasted and epoxy primed for excellent paint adhesion. This included the frame, cab body and all misc parts. Then, all new body panels were purchased – including fenders, bed sides, inner wheel openings, tail gate, doors, hood, rockers and cab corners all new. Each panel was installed and straightened as needed to perfection. Then, the car was put together to fit all panels and achieve perfect body gaps. Finally, it was block sanded several times and then its’ beautiful Code 81 Flame Red Base Coat Lear coat was carefully applied and buffed to perfection by one of the best painters in our area. The bed was done in beautiful Oak and it turned out perfect. This phase of the build was done by a restoration shop called Custom auto works by the renowned Wally Enders.
Engine and Drivetrain:
Next came the engine build, no corners cut here. I wanted a great street motor with power to spare. To achieve that, a totally race prepped short block was acquired from a local racer and sent to a top notch machine shop for the works. A set of rare and highly sought after corvette L88 heads were totally gone through as well with all new valves and race valve job. A healthy but not too radical Competition Cams cam was purchased and the engine was completed with an Team G aluminum intake, Pro Systems 1,000 cfm holley carb, MSD distributor and custom ceramic coated Cooks 2 and 1/8th” headers with a custom full mandrel bent 3” aluminum coated exhaust out the back. It ended up making plenty of power . Yet, it drives very tame when you do not press the gas pedal too hard – which was exactly what I hoped for. I’d estimate the horsepower to be at least 550hp but closer to 590-610hp. It is a rush for sure, I did not build it to be a race car, but it is very powerful and if you like horsepower you will LOVE this truck.
All the supporting cast is top notch as well. Fully pro built automatic 400 turbo trans, Transmission Specialties torque converter spec’d for this build, built rear end, drive shaft, etc. Complete professional wiring from Painless, cooling system and fuel system all the best money can buy.
SUMMARY
This truck runs, looks and drives amazing. It lacks nothing, turn key and drive to any show and take first place.
I’ve built dozens and show cars and have been doing type work for a living for over 25 years, so I have a trained eye. This truck is second to none, top to bottom. Bid with confidence as there is zero chance of being disappointed. PLEASE look closely at the pics, they were all just taken and I used a high resolution camera to try to show the details well. There is no photo shop stuff the pro’s do to make things look better and nor am I a photographer, but I assure you the truck looks as good or better than the pics show it, no surprises here. Title is clean, free and clear and in my hand.
NO SCAMS – NO TRADES – NO PICTURE COLLECTORS – NO DREAMERS. Please, serious buyers only with the funds to buy inquire or bid on this truck. The truck will not leave my shop until it’s paid for in full. I have spent a lot of time describing the vehicle so as not to waste you time, please do not waste mine.
636-744-3800 – SERIOUS BUYER ONLY please, text or call.
Thank you for looking!!!

My computer keyboard is on the way out and it presented a challenge typing the description. I can not fix them now that there are bids, if anyone has questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Thank you and Best of Luck. |

GM puts e-commerce shopping in car dashboards
Tue, Dec 5 2017DETROIT — General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving. GM's Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said. GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said. "This platform is financed by the merchants," Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant's application on its screens, and "there's some level of revenue sharing" based on each transaction, he said. It is too soon to say how much revenue GM could realize from the Marketplace system, he said. The GM Marketplace will compete for customer clicks and revenue with hand-held smartphones, which offer a far richer array of applications than the GM system will at the outset. Amazon.com is partnering with other automakers, including Ford, to offer in-car e-commerce capability through Amazon's Alexa personal assistant system. For example, GM will launch Marketplace with just Shell and Exxon Mobil icons in the fuel category. The only restaurant available for in-car table reservations at launch is the chain TGI Fridays, GM said. In addition, there will be apps for parking, and ordering ahead at coffee shops and restaurants such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Applebee's. "We will be adding more vendors," with some coming in the first quarter of 2018, Chamorro said. In addition, he said GM plans to expand integration into its vehicles of music, news and other information services. GM also hopes to use its in-car Marketplace connections to expand purchases of products and services, such as additional access to in-car wifi, from its own replacement parts business and dealer network. Customers can "expect to see more service promotions coming through the platform," Chamorro said. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video:
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies
Sat, Jun 27 2015Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
