Your are looking at an all original, unmolested 1968 Chev C10 short wide bed, big back window. This is a very rare configuration and the most sought after, they only made this front clip with the sloped hood and the Chevrolet lettering across it in 1967-68. This is a 2WD and full coil spring suspension, which makes is super easy to drop and modify the suspension. This truck has never been messed with, the paint is original and has never been repainted, it has a really nice patina which I buffed to bring out the character. If you're looking for that rat rod look then this truck has it. It was originally sold at Leo Rice Motors in Gooding, Idaho, I got it from a guy who had stored it since 1989 which is 24 years it sat and not in circulation or on the roads. I brought it all back to perfect mechanical condition; new brake master cylinder, new brake shoes, drums turned, new brake wheel cylinders, new aluminum radiator, new battery, new fuel pump, took the fuel tank out, completely cleaned it, all new rubber on all systems, fuel lines, radiator hoses, belt. I bought all new bearings and seals, rebuilt the front axles/spindles, rebuilt the carburetor. Basically brought it all up to speed mechanically while leaving the nice patina finish. This truck is in it's raw form, has the 250 cubic inch inline six, 4-speed tranny, no power steering, no power brakes, just absolutely as simple as they come, which is what makes it so great. It's starts right up first time with the manual choke, purrs like a kitten, goes down the road smooth as glass for a 45 year old truck. If you want that authentic raw experience of the old world vehicles in their purest form, this is your truck. Dash is all original and uncut for a modern radio like you see so many times. It's nice to see one that was well taken care of; no idiots have got a hold of and modified and rigged. It's truly a great truck to leave as is and enjoy, or an excellent starting point for a full resto. I require a $1000 non-refundable deposit 24 hours after the auction ends, please if you're not serious don't waste your time, my time, and all of the serious buyers. Buyer is responsible for all transportation / shipping expenses, I would like it picked up no later than 2 weeks after the auction ends. Please contact me prior to bidding if you have questions or would like to resolve any concerns. I don't have it for sale locally so you don't have to worry about me pulling the rug out from under bidders to end the auction early, it will run for the duration of the auction!

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
