1974 Chevrolet Super 10, C10 Cheyenne 1/2 Ton Pick-Up, Dark Red, Regular Cab

Selling for my friend who is on active duty and will be gone for about 3 years and I cannot keep it at my parent's house for that long.  He is open to offers and we are showing the truck (by appointment) at 6pm Tuesday and any time on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so we can close the bidding Monday. 

Location: Perris, CA 92571

This truck has the following modifications and most were done in August 2012:

Engine: 350 V8 5.7L Engine - Upgraded Engine
Carburetor:  Edelbrock Carburetor - New
Replica Boyd Coddington Rims and Brand New Daytona Tires
Runs Excellent.  Many items replaced such as starter, fuel pump, oil pump, hoses, radiator, and he has documentation for many of the items.  That is pictured as well. 
This is a great truck for the person that wants to lift or lower it.  It is stock suspension currently. 

I try to assess any item for what I notice are very good things about the item and any flaws or errors.  I would recommend you take a look and test drive it as soon as possible.  It fires up quick and t sounds like a fire breathing monster!
My friend is open to offers.  If the bid reaches a certain amount, I will stop selling it in other markets so please make sure to bid as early and often as needed - or Just Make an Offer!  Email me with questions via eBay or text me at 951-238-0162.  Ask for Kase. 

Pros: 
Rebuilt and swapped 350 engine!  600 miles on the new engine and about 52,000 miles overall on the vehicle. 
New Edelbrock Carburetor! 
New fuel, water, and oil pumps! All gauges work (except fuel gauge).
New starter!  All lights and signal lights working great and windshield wipers working great too. 
New replica Boyd Coddington style wheels
New Daytona tires with maximum tread life
Power Steering!  GREAT Brake System! 
Great glass!  Seats Three and all original seat belts. 
98% dent and scratch free!!!
No Smog Needed and Clean Title 
Original CA Blue Plates!!!!!!!! 

Runs Excellent! Numerous documents including engine replacement papers, and Pep Boys services for other items. 

This is now a Classic Truck and a rare Cheyenne find. It no longer has the areas for the trim so it is a smooth body - dent free and mostly scratch free as well.  Original bed was left unpainted.  

Cons:
Paint:  Not great.  The person that did it was careless and appeared to have done it hastily and not in the correct conditions.  However, the body is mainly scratch and dent free which is amazing!  Whoever did the body work - great job.  No kudos to the painter however. 

Driver door locking mechanism is not great.  Needs an extra step. 
Windows roll up fine but then rolling down all the way is an issue.  Sometimes they get stuck about 1/2 way down.  You can easily access the inside of the door by removing the panel but I have not had time to take a look and see. 
Tranny:  Original but old.  Please keep that in mind.  It was not replaced like engine and carb, pumps and starter and all the other items. Will need a service periodically.  Shifts Great. 
Suspension:  Does make a pop on the passenger side.  I checked it out and the tie rods need replacement but if you get it lowered or raised, those are included in the parts package and will be replaced regardless.  It drives and turns fine however and the power steering is great but it will make a pop occasionally.
Interior:  Old - could use a carpet kit, seat cover, and dashboard cover.  All are about $110 online per item.  Very cheap and makes it very easy to fix up and look good again.
A/C and Heater:  Not working/Disabled.
CD Player:  None.  There are 6x9 speakers in the panels but no CD player. 
One Fuel Tank:  Since the owner was preparing to lower it and beef it up, only one tank on the passenger side is enabled.  The driver side fuel tank is disabled.  I have fueled it up and it is kind of low to the ground.  It takes some getting used to in regards of where to hold the nozzle, but it hold about 9-10 gallons just fine. 

My personal opinion:  It will take about $600 to $1,500 to get her looking like a champ. Some of the issues are issues that are not pertinent to its utility but if you want the $15,000 valuation, you will need to put in some extra work. If I had the money, I would buy it - unfortunately, I do not...  If you want to have me do the replacement, you would need you to buy the parts and we can work on a deal for labor. 

Again - No Reserve!!!  Submit your Offers and we will review them!  If you want, come down and check her out!  It is awesome and the sale proceeds will go to a good person! 

Good Luck Bidding.  Sale is As-Is and we have tried to list all the proficient and deficient items that we have noticed in the test drive and while taking pictures.  This is a used vehicle that is 40 years old.  Please keep that in mind.

We prefer Pick-Up.  However, you will need to arrange for shipping.  Truck needs to be picked up in its current location.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
