1965 Gmc C1000 Shortbed Original Paint Patina Shop Truck Same As Chevy C10 on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
|
1965 GMC C1000 Shortbed Small Window Pickup w/original paint and 98000 original miles. Original paint with great patina. No rust straight and dry California truck. This truck was manufactured and sold in California and was owned by the same owner in Sonora, CA from 1965 to 2012 when he was simply too old to drive it. The truck never left Sonora until I bought it. As a matter of fact it was sold by the Sonora GMC dealership and we will include the original license plate frame, protecto plate, and service manual. Truck was a plain jane no option 230ci/3 speed. Powertrain (now): 383CI Small Block Chevy built w/1995 5.7 4bolt 1 piece rear main truck engine block and 400ci crankshaft. Engine runs the 1995 swirl port heads, Edelbrock Aluminum Air Gap intake, Edelbrock Peformer Carb, HEI Ignition, aluminum water pump, and is dressed up with Newstalgia Fauxmobile Rocket valve covers and air cleaner and Speeway Rams Horn headers. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. Dual exhaust with quiet turbo mufflers. This engine was not built for this truck but I had to put it in there. It will smoke the tires right off the truck if you floor it. 700r4 Automatic OD transmission built by Bowtie Overdrives with their kickdown linkage, TV Cable, and valving. All transmission tuning was done by Bowtie and the trans shifts great. This trans was meant for another project but ended up going in this truck. Truck cruises at 70 or 80 but is capable of much more. Rear Axle and Differential are out of a 1972 C10 and have 3.73 axle ratio and 5 on 5 lug pattern. Brakes and Chassis: Truck was professionally lowered by Jimenez Brothers Customs (JBC) of Chop Cut Rebuild and Rod & Custom fame. Drop spindles and springs were used in front and the truck was converted to power disk brakes. Front lug pattern is 5 on 5 to match the rear. Truck was converted to power steering and a GM power brake booster and master cylinder w/proportioning valve were installed. The rear end was treated to an axle flip kit, shackles, and a mild C-notch (bed is not cut). Lowered high performance shocks were installed front and rear. The E-Brake is not hooked up yet but the parts are included in a box. Sway bars were added front and rear as well. Basically this truck steers, corners, and stops(and shifts) like a late model truck. Dropped cross members were powder coated and installed during the chassis modifications.
Paint and Body: As you can see we kept the exterior plain and just buffed the original paint to get the tree sap off. There is no rust through anywhere on the truck except 2 erasure head sized holes in the right front floor board. The rust was sanded and treated. Truck is completely dry. All glass is good and comes with all new rubber for glass, doors, windows, body, tailgate bumpers, door handles and mirrors (all new rubber is still in boxes). The old stuff works but we wanted new. New bed wood and rails were installed. The wood is stained and sealed and the rails were powder coated. Original hood was louvered and fits the look of the truck. Interior and Electrical: Seat is original and covered in black velour. We put a couple of “Mexican” blankets over it because they fit the look of the truck. A new carpet kit (black) is included as are new stainless door sills. Pinstripes were added to the interior and can be seen on the glove box and ash tray. All lights and electrical work except the original GMC radio. Heater and defroster work too (with no leaks) but the heater hoses were not reconnected after the engine swap. Wheels and Tires: Stock Chevy Steelies in 5 on 5 were stripped and powder coated satin black. Chevelle caps with GMC logos were installed. Tires are 205/75r15 white walls and have about 1000 miles on them now. A set of aluminum drag lite wheels with radials are included if that’s your thing. They’re free. Phil is selling the truck locally. Feel free to call him with any questions 951-905-2923 Youtube videos (poorly shot by myself) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcIAiWcOsgA&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqWxs3wDqag&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjMFUfYC09M&feature=youtu.be I built this truck for me with plans on keeping it for ever. No short cuts were taken but wife and kid got in the way and as you know things change. I passed it on to Phil who put the bed wood in etc. Phil has a bunch of other high end projects and is looking to send the GMC down the road. The only things left to do is install the carpet and new rubber kits (included) and I would install A/C (everything else is new or replaced). The truck was built with a SPAL electric fan. It has a thermo switch but Phil has it running direct. I personally think it sounds like a shop vac running at high speed and takes away from the rumble of the truck. I'm throwing in a brand new flex fan (still in the box). You can swap out the fan if the electric one annoys you as well. Truck runs drives and stops great. Suspension is low but has been modified to allow pretty good travel and new low profile bump stops were installed. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it on long trips (except for that no A/C thing). Additional pictures and videos are available upon request. |

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
