You are bidding on an all original one owner 1968 Chevrolet C-10 Survivor Fleetside pickup Model # CE10934 equipped with its original Chevy 307 200 hp. 8 cylinder engine, manual transmission with manual overdrive. Many say "Survivor" however only few trucks really qualify. A survivor is one in which the vehicle is at least 95% original. This C-10 spent all of its life in a dry garage in eastern washington. I acquired this vehicle after the original owner (from 1968 to 2013) passed away. He was an electrical engineer that took meticulous care of his possessions. He primarily used the truck to go out on his 25 acres and get firewood and occasionally a road trip to seattle. He kept records of oil changes, and odometer mileage numbers throughout the years in a little book he kept in the glove box.(I still have) Looking through it I realized that most all of the miles were from 68-86 where the odometer read 68,281. After his 1986 log-in, the next one said "lube oil +filter on sept 28, 02 with the mileage 70,120. After this his health declined. He would start the truck every year and drive it very little according to neighbors. Apparently when he first bought the truck he took it to Seattle and out to Poulsbo, Wa. where he had property. In the glove box was the original 1968/69 ferry schedule. On the visor was a registration receipt folder clip-on with every receipt from every registration he got. Its still there. I have the original owners protection plan and vehicle warranty brochure with the metal tag with his name on it, as well as the original 1968 shop manual. Also other memorabilia that was in the glove box. Interior: It has all the original interior. Original Seat, original side panels, original floor matt, original mirror, original visors, EVERYTHING on interior is original. The radio/stereo plate on the dash is still blank with no radio ever installed. Same with the cigarette lighter spot. The dash has no cracks, all the gauges work , the ceiling is without a scratch, door panels almost perfect with a couple minor scratches is all, original rear view mirror showing a little age around the edge. Exterior: This truck is at least 95% original if not more*. From what I can tell the only thing he had done to the truck over the years was he had Midas put on a new muffler and pipe. The only wear on the truck is in the bed where he tossed the firewood. The original wood bed is still in and it has probably 50% of the original paint on the wood. No rot, just worn. A beautiful Patina actually. The outside mirrors are original with only small blems, The bumpers - front and rear- appear to never have been even bumped and have their original paint. The rear bumper has never had a trailer hitch. License plate light works as do all others. The body is straight with the exception of two small dings, one on each side, hardly noticeable. Never been in an accident. The Paint on the body is all original! All the glass and lights are flawless. The paint is in amazing shape. No touch ups have been done, just a wash and shine.The aluminum, chrome is in great shape with the exception of one area on the passenger side of front grills outer edge. The white area in the front and on the bumpers has some pits but not bad. Has original windshield wipers, gas cap, wheels, and hub caps. There is very little rust -mostly surface down low. The underside is virtually rust free with the exception of a little bit underneath to the right of the door by wheel well. Nothing of any real concern. Again this was in a dry garage all its life. *The wheels and hubcaps are original but look to have been painted or touched up. (I think) Motor: Has the original 307 8 cyl. engine with the original 2 barrel Rochester carb. and original Rochester carb. Its a three on the tree with manual overdrive (pull/push knob in/out) Manual choke (pull/push knob in/out) . The only things I've done to this truck is I replaced the plugs and rebuilt the carb, replaced fuel lines and filters, changed the oils and flushed the radiator, turned the key and it purrs like a kitten. Drove it from Spokane to Priest Lake Idaho 180 miles RT and then From Spokane to Seattle (288 miles). Thats it. It ran perfect and doesn't leak oil. I've owned this truck for only a few months. Seattle is where it is now stored. I'm selling it because I feel someone who really appreciates the originality of this truck, or a collector, should own this beauty. I'm not a car guy, not a truck guy. But this is an amazing find. Its so rare to find a truck especially that is in this good of shape AND has not been compromised from its original state. I challenge you to try and find one and then you'll know what I'm talking about. This truck emanates a real history of someone who simply used the truck as a truck, respected it, took good care of it, and thats it. We should be so simple. Please if you want any other pics, or info please ask. I will do my best to answer clearly, honestly without any hidden agenda. I will be glad to assist in transport as well. Sold as is of course. I guess Im suppose to say that. $1000 Deposit within 24 hrs of end of auction and balance within 3 days. |

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
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.
