Year:1973
Mileage:111000

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. |

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Recharge Wrap-up: U of M wins Solar Challenge, family attempts record-breaking e-bike ride
Thu, Aug 14 2014The University of Michigan Solar Car Team has won the 2014 American Solar Challenge. It is the team's eighth national championship, its fifth in a row, and its first using Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The race took place over 1,722 miles and seven days traveling across eight states. The team's car, called "Quantum," outpaced the nearest competitor by four hours. Looking forward, Michigan Solar Car Project Manager Pavan Naik says, "The switch to Siemens tools will give us the ability to model and simulate everything and truly allow us to optimize the performance of our new vehicle. As we start on our quest to win the World Solar Challenge in 2015, we'll be leveraging a full complement of PLM solutions." Read more in the press release below. The EcoCar3 competition, in which teams will convert Chevrolet Camaros into hybrid electric cars, begins in September. The various college teams will have four years to lessen the car's environmental impact as much as possible while maintaining performance and, of course, that cool Camaro design. EcoCar3, which is put on by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, kicks off with a workshop in Novi, Michigan from September 16 - 18. Read more at the DOE website at the dedicated EcoCar3 site or watch the announcement video at our previous post. Zap and Jonway Auto are shifting to a high rate of EV production. Zap already has two lines creating the Urbee EV to met demand, and is switching over a third to make electric minivans and SUVs. The company aims to produce 30,000 EVs by 2015 for the Chinese market. Zap says it has a backlog of 25,000 Urbee orders. Read more in the press release below. A family of four hopes to make a world record-breaking, 6,000-mile electric bike journey this fall. The family, which recently drove from Argentina to Montana in a pickup with a camper, will ride from Montana to Maine, then down the East Coast to Florida in an attempt to break the record for longest electric bicycle ride. They'll use two bikes. The Father, Thomas, will ride one of the bikes carrying one of the children, while the rest of the family rides in a support vehicle, with the mother, Dylan, riding the second bike when they can find others to drive. They have started a crowdfunding campaign for some of the equipment needed to document the trip. See the video below or read more at Treehugger.
