My wife purchased this truck in the early 1990's with the intention of driving it and restoring it back to the original factory condition.
This truck is a standard model cab, 3 speed Manual Column Shift with a heater. It also has the factory correct/original am radio not hooked up. To our knowledge, my wife is the 3rd owner and our belief is it has always been a California truck (current registration is South Dakota but it has never been there).
THE NOT SO GOOD......
It has rust in all the usual places; a little worse on the right upper rocker panel and right lower door area (nothing that can't be repaired). NO RUST goes through completely to the exterior. No salt used on the roads in Southern California where this truck has been.
: - ) NOW FOR THE GOOD PART : - )
We started to plan for a restoration because all the original parts were (and still are) on this truck except the hubcaps. It runs good; clutch and pressure plate have less than a 1000 (one thousand) miles on it and a new battery, cables and regulator were installed this month. Oil changed in engine and air filter as well as fresh valve adjustment. Spare tire and wheel included (although no hanging mechanism which can easily be obtained).
When we bought this truck, the speedometer / odometer did not work so we had no idea what the actual mileage was. About 15 years ago we had the speedometer / odometer repaired and the mileage is currently at about 1700 miles. Yes! That's not a typo.... we only put about 1700 miles on this truck in the past 15 years!
New Restoration parts included:
New carpet and reupholstered original equipment seat installed
Interior Mirror and New glove box installed
All the following items listed are new in the box (these parts were going to be installed during the restoration):
Front and Rear Window Rubber
Driver and Passenger side Felt lined window channels
Wind wing rubber kit
New tail lamp lens and gaskets
Extra rear view mirror
The previous owner moved the signal light switch out of the column and hung it under the dash (it works). We hung after market gauges under the dash (easily removed) and original idiot lights are still operational. It also has an aftermarket am/fm cassette player attached under the dash but not permanently mounted to eliminate any modifications / holes in the original dash (easily removed). This truck runs and drives as it should but if the buyer chooses, this will make a great winter restoration project. If you follow ebay, two weeks ago a restored 1965 Chevrolet Step side short bed sold for $21,600.
This truck comes with an original era shop manual (not the small Haynes or Chilton's type), new points, condenser and u-joints in a box. It also comes with an excellent condition locking Delta Aluminum Diamond Plate tool box (clamped, not drilled, to the bed) $300 item.
To make it clear, this truck is a turn key, fully operational non restored running truck with about $2000.00 worth of fresh parts ready for your restoration..... or a daily driver as it sits!
This truck comes with a fully transferrable Clear, South Dakota Title so ownership can be transferred to your state.
Vehicle is being offered with a fair reserve and is available for inspection approximately 45 minutes north of San Diego, CA.
The successful high bidder will submit a $500.00 Non-Refundable Deposit within 48 hours of close of auction, with the balance due within 5 days.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
