1970 Chevy C10 Longbed - Older Resto - 350/auto - Upg A/c - Ps/pb - Rust Free on 2040-cars
Clarkston, Michigan, United States
1970 Chevrolet C10 - Longbed – Upgraded A/C – Solid – Rust Free You are bidding on an absolutely gorgeous, rust free Chevy Pickup with numerous dollars invested in its 10-plus year old restoration. The previous owner invested a lot of time and money in this truck and won numerous casual car shows in the early 00’s. Unfortunately, health issues has brought this truck to the market. This longbed is an absolute head turner from its gorgeous two-tone paint, to its custom hounds-tooth interior. Although it has an older restoration, the paint still shows glossy and beautifully. The overall cosmetics are still very good overall. Some of the trim pieces are starting to look dated including the side bumper strips (slight-peeling), and the front grill liner (hazy). The interior is in excellent condition. The seats, interior paint, gauges, and windows all show excellent. The black carpeting does have sun fading which I’ve included photographs of. Also, the interior door trim shows some scuffing on the armrest (mostly on the driver’s side). On most cars and trucks, the underbody speaks very highly of the true condition of the car. The underbody on this C10 is very clean and solid. I’ve included numerous photos to help portray its excellent condition. Mechanically, this truck runs, drives, and idles beautifully. I’ve included a video of this. The power steering and braking are an absolute breeze to operate and preform flawlessly. The suspension is still strong and tight. The tires are newer with a lot of tread. The upgraded air conditioning blows ice cold and all the electrical (including the radio) work just fine. I also just put in a brand new battery. Under the hood, this Chevy sports a strong 350 CID engine with upgraded components including hooker headers and is dressed up nicely but not too “showey”. The engine compartment looks good overall but would definitely benefit from a professional detailing. Other points to mention: The truck spent the latter end of last summer (about two months) outside, and consequently, there is some hardened sap on the paint of the back/back right side of the truck that I personally haven’t had the time to remove properly. Also, the vinyl bedliner could use a full-out cleaning. (There is some black speckling on it from being in the rain). The front right wheel-well chrome has a small crease in the chrome insert and could probably be “re-set”, if not replaced very inexpensively. Also, there is a nick on the front right side bumper strip (shown in photos) As mentioned above, this truck has an older restoration but still shows beautifully. Other than a few minor details, this Chevy shows a well-cared for ownership history.
About me: For the past few years I have invested in numerous solid, (usually targeting original) classic cars which I enjoy casually and then turn and sell. I like to have a different classic every year when the Woodward Dream Cruise rolls around in August. I have owned many Chevy’s in the past including two documented SS Chevelle’s and I’m always looking for something new!
Please don’t hesitate to send me an email with any questions you may have. Also, the truck is available for inspection and may be test-driven. If you would like to talk over the phone just send me your phone number and I will do my best to contact you/set up an appointment. Please have any questions answered or inspections preformed before making a bid! I require a $1000 deposit at the auction close and the remainder within 3 days. Thanks, and good luck on your bidding!

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
