1962 Chevy C10 Shortbed Fleetside Pickup - Classic Hot Rod Truck on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
|
"Where were you in '62" - as the advertisements for 'American Graffiti' use to say. Well, in 1962 this beautiful Chevy C10 shortbed pickup was created. There are many classic pickup's for sale here on Ebay, but what sets this apart from so many others is that it has been in California since day one. In fact, I have restored the "black plates" which have been on this since 1963 !
The truck was painted a urethane 2 stage teal metallic that is vibrant and classic at the same time. The paint looks fantastic and gets compliments all the time. Out back I chose to have world famous 'Gaylords' make a fiberglass hard tonneau cover , then painted it to match the rest of the truck. Inside the bed is as clean as the rest . Stained and multi varnished oak wood strips , separated with chromed steel dividers really give detail . It is what you would expect from a vehicle this clean. Inside the cab has the dash, cab, and doors painted body color. The seat was upholstered in a black leather and velour. In is very comfortable and will not hurt your back after a long road trip . The seat legs, emergency brake handle, accelerator pedal rod, and brake pedal rod were chrome plated for that extra added touch of detail. All of the glass is in excellent condition. windows easily roll up and down like they should. The heater, windshield wipers, lights, turn signals work perfectly. Accessory gauges were install to insure accuracy . They include Amp, Oil pressure, and Temperature. Carpet is black and has floor mats. The engine is a very strong running 350 with 5,000 miles. It has a 4 barrel carb and HEI distributor. The compression ratio is at 9:1 so that it can operate on pump fuel. A very mild RV cam was installed so that extra power and reliability can be insured. Nothing too radical. Longevity was the objective with the build. The transmission is a TH 400 automatic. The shift linkage is connected to the original column shift. I wanted everything original in appearance but with modern amenities. One can literally drive this truck anywhere on the planet. I say that with certainty folks! The truck can sit in the garage for weeks, yet when you get in it, turn the key, she'll start up every time - just like a Timex watch! Dual exhaust is a must with a vehicle like this. A set of magna flow mufflers were installed, and exhaust exits out of the rear - just under the bumper. A pair of chrome "pea shooter" tips complete the look out back. As for wheels and tires, I opted to go with a classic look. Champ Pro 235x75x15 radials with thin white walls , and steel wheels with beauty rings and "dog dish" hubcaps give the pickup a great feel and retro style. There you go folks. There has been a lot of money spent on this beautiful pickup over the years, but I am willing to let this go at a fraction of that amount. If you like what you see, are serious, and not a tire kicker, give me a call. I am open to reasonable offers . Partial trade might be considered. I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Ask all questions prior to bidding and/or purchasing . All sales are final. There are no warrantee's , exchanges, or refunds. I know of two very reasonable & reputable auto transport companies. Buyer pays for shipping, and I will see to it that the truck arrives in a safe and prompt manner. I will gladly ship this anywhere in the world. Feel free to call me any time - day or night. Thanks and have a wonderful day, Alex (909)-437-2068 |

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
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).
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
