This is a very original, rare, and solid 1961 Chevy Custom C-10 Fleetside pickup. It only has 83,030 actual miles on it. Very solid truck with no signs of rust repair that I can see. Came out of lower Arkansas where snow and salt are not an issue. All original body panels, floor pans, rockers, body mounts, fenders, etc. The underside of this truck has not been painted or undercoated to hide any rust or repairs. Even has the original spiral shock adsorbs and spare tire wheel. One repaint years ago in the factory 2 tone turquoise and white that it came with from the factory. Still in very nice shape with just some minor road chip touch-ups from it being driven over gravel roads. Still shines up nicely. Bed has newer hard wood and stainless steel strips. Interior appears to be all original except for a replacement seat cover, door sill plates, and maybe the rubber mat. It shows very well. Glass is all very good except for one small rock chip that is not noticeable unless you lift up the left wiper blade. Suspension is all stock and very tight. Brakes are all stock and very good. No power brakes or steering. Radial tires and exhaust are new. Chrome and stainless trim is very nice. Nice quality aftermarket CD - AM/FM radio in glove box with remote. Comes with both original, and very thick, Chevy truck dealer body and mechanical service manuals. Truck was originally a 283 V-8 with a 3 speed on the column. It is now running a rebuilt 350 with a rebuilt 350 turbo transmission. Both run out great. The only issue with it is that the guy re-used the original stick steering column and hooked up the shifter rod to the 2nd and 3rd stick lever. It works OK once you get used to it, but you have to feel your way into gear. I did pickup an automatic column for it and it is included in the sale. I do have an original bell housing with proper hydraulic slave cylinder and a later model fully synchronized 3 speed tranny for a little more if you want to put it back as a stick shift.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
