1968 Chevy C-10 350 V8 Muncie 4spd Chopped Top Hot Rod & Motorcycle Shop Truck ! on 2040-cars
Wind Gap, Pennsylvania, United States
CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a very cool 1968 Chevy C-10 Hot Rod Shop Truck with a chopped top, 350 V8 engine and a Muncie 4-speed car transmission. Please take the time to look over all 24 photos that I have listed here on this auction. You can also click on any photo to supersize and zoom in on all photos. This truck was originally a Virginia truck. It came to Pennsylvania in 1993 and has had the same owner for the last 20 years. It was customized and owner restored to his liking, and well maintained ever since. He had a small motorcycle shop and this truck was used as the shop truck to transport the bikes. It runs, drives, and stops great and can be enjoyed immediately on the day of purchase. It is however a northeast truck and shows some evidence of some rust issues that were addressed over the years. The body work is not 100% and is showing some age upon close inspection. This truck has great curb appeal and is a head turner with it's 4" chopped top, 5" dropped front spindles, 4" rear blocks and air shocks. It's also equipped with power steering and power disc brakes so it's a breeze to drive.
ENGINE: Engine is a chevy 350 cubic inch small block with a casting # 3970010 which was used from 1969-1979 in both truck and high performance applications. Most of these blocks had 4-bolt mains, but since the oil pan wasn't removed I can't make that claim. Heads are casting # 3782461 which is also a high performance item. As you can see in the picture showing the cylinder head casting # the engine is extremely clean inside. Engine is topped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and modern 4106 Edelbrock carburetor. It is also equipped with headers and reliable HEI ignition. It runs well with no noises or smoke. TRANSMISSION: The transmission is a Muncy 4-Speed with casting # 3885010. These were used in passenger cars from 1965-1967. The shifter is a Hurst Indy unit with a tall truck style handle. DIFFERENTIAL: Owner stated that the rear is the original non-posi unit that came with the truck. BODY: As you can see in the photos, this truck has it's own unique look and is chopped and lowered. All glass was professionally cut and is tinted. No plexiglass was used. Owner stated that the rear cab mounts and cab corners were replaced. Inside of the bed is coated with a Spray-On Bedliner, and is equipped with two front mounted heavy duty eyelets to tie down motorcycles or whatever you would like to haul and secure. Rolled pans were installed front and rear and custom front bumpers were installed to complete the custom look. Motorcycle turn signals were used as front turn signals and hot rod mirrors are installed on the top of the doors. There is some pitting on the door handles as they appear to be original units. All emblems were shaved. INTERIOR: Original bench seat was replaced with two wide seats with armrests, and a combination console/storage compartment in between. Bottom of driver's seat was just re-upholstered and also a new carpet was installed. An aftermarket stereo was installed to supply the tunes. The two switches that you see near the instrument cluster are for back-up and interior lights. Inside of the roof shows the extensive work that went into the chopping of the top. There is no headliner in the truck. It is black painted metal. Gas pedal, brake and clutch pedal pads were replaced as well as a new padded dash cover. The emergency brake does not hold and will need some attention. TAX ADVANTAGE: Since this is a commercial vehicle there are advertising tax advantages. Check with your accountant. TERMS OF SALE: Again this is a northeast truck, and did not spend most of it's life in the Arizona Desert. It is not a #1 truck at a #3 price. It is not a vehicle that you would take to one of the EGO-RAMA auctions in January and sell for stupid money. It is however priced reasonably for what it is so A REAL CAR PERSON CAN AFFORD OWN AND ENJOY IT. Please check my 100% positive feedback and buy with confidence. After reading the entire description and checking out all 24 photos here on the auction feel free to ask any questions on the truck. I have accurately and honestly described this truck to the best of my knowledge based on a complete physical inspection, driving, and servicing the truck and also based on conversation with the previous owner. If any prospective buyer has any further questions as to the integrity or condition of this vehicle then I welcome and encourage you to call me and make an appointment to come see the truck in person to satisfy any questions you may have. This truck is sold in AS-IS condition with no actual, implied, or expressed warranty or guarantee of any kind. The day you buy the truck it is your truck. That is why I provide a complete and thorough description with complete and thorough pictures and welcome any buyer to come see the truck in person. There will be an Ebay required $300.00 paypal non-refundable deposit to be paid buy the winning buyer using either the buy it now option or the winning buyer at the end of the auction. The most accepted, preferred and encouraged method of payment is funds in hand and a local pickup of the truck. Any other method will need to be discussed with me first and approved before proceeding with the sale. Shipping will be the financial responsibility of the buyer. I will be happy to recommend previously used shippers. I will also be happy to reasonably assist in the appointment set-up, pick-up and loading of the truck. My contact # is at the top and bottom of this ad to make it very easy for any prospective buyer to reach me at. So lastly any questions at all on this truck please don't hesitate to CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Thanks and good luck ! |

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors
Wed, Oct 22 2014Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant
Mon, Jun 23 2014The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
