1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup Custom 283 V8 4-Speed Small Window One Owner Survivor Hello in
eBay land. I have a great find for
you! This is a 1963 1/2 ton Chevrolet C-10 with the original 283 V8 and all of its original paint too. Other than the seat, this truck is all factory
original including the paint. I found this
truck in the barn on a farm just like one would expect. It had not been started or moved since at
least 1990. I doubt if it was used much
before then either. The plates are
original Pacific Wonderland and the bumper still has the brand of the local
Chevy dealer that sold it new. I fell in love
with the truck right away. It was far
from perfect and still is.. The bones
are what I look for in a find like this one.
The fact that a vehicle is only original once motivates me to buy these
whenever I find them. I mean really, how
many like this are out there anymore? I
hope that what I did to it and what I purposefully didn’t do will help tell the
story and give the new buyer either a starting point or a finished truck
depending on their desire. The fact
that the truck only had one owner is another check in the plus column for this
Chevrolet.. Unfortunately, the owner
died and I didn’t get to talk to him about the truck. I bought it from his estate and had it towed
to my shop. The seat was
all ripped up, the brakes were frozen, the gas in the tank was past old, the
shocks were solid, and it had not been started in an eon. I had some work to do.. We first pulled the seat out and sent it to
the upholsterer’s so he could source the material and get it looking right
again. Next we removed the gas tank and
sent it out to be cleaned and sealed.
While this was happening away from the shop we got started on the brakes
and shocks. I also pulled the carburetor
and personally rebuilt it. (I wish all
carbs were this simple). We also
started polishing the finish. It really
came back nice.. Yes, there is a lot of
patina.. I wouldn’t change any of
it.. You can’t make a truck look like
this on purpose.. It takes 50 years of
life to do it. The truck is really quite
solid. It has lived its whole life in
Oregon and even though it rains.. (a
lot) we don’t salt the roads and
vehicles remain pretty rust free around here.
There are a few spots that would be easy to fix, but I
wanted to show the truck honestly and let the next owner decide how far to go
with the truck’s restoration. The
passenger front corner of the hood has a spot, there is a pin hole in the driver’s
rocker panel on the top side, and there is a smale hole on the inside of the tailgate. That’s all I could
find though. The floor boards are solid
and so is the frame. The wood bed
is also original and has some soft wood and splits.. It’s totally useable, but also easy to
replace too. If I was keeping the truck
that would be my first “do it yourself” project.. I should
take a second and talk about the engine.
Just from an aesthetic point of view it is really stunning. Totally clean and original.. Simple and pretty and factory in every way. Once we got
the tank back and the carb was back in place we added fuel, installed a new
battery and gave her a crank.. She
started immediately and ran as smooth as anybody could hope. I cannot say enough about the motor in this
truck.. The engine is rock solid. It does not move at all. It revs smoothly and delivers even power
too. No leaks no issues at
all.. It is an old design so you need to pull the choke when its cold and let it warm up a bit.. it is beautiful though and very simple to understand. I couldn’t wait
to drive it so I jumped in on a bucket to check out the rest of it.. I’m sure the new brakes and shocks helped out
but I was really impressed. The clutch
is perfect as are all the syncros and even though there is no power steering or
brakes, it is super easy to drive..
(even sitting on a bucket J..) The heater
works, the blinkers work, the lights all work, the cool wipers work.. I was grinning from ear to ear.. I got the
seat back a few days later and wow.. I
mean show truck wow.. I put it in and we
were finished.. To sum up,
this is an original patina 1963 Chevrolet with a perfect seat and beautiful
engine. It may look old and tattered to
some, but that is the point.. It runs
and drives runs like a dream. This C-10
has a ton of vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future
appreciation. I am setting
the reserve very low and I know the Chevrolet will sell as
long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any
and all questions before bidding. #3. Please
contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is
an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to
describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees. #5. I will
not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the truck. Pay-Pal is for the deposits only, the balance
must be paid by certified check or wire.
Legitimate and legal buyers only please.
Just be real
and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or
her purchase. I have 100% positive
feedback and I plan on keeping that.
Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the
last second and worry about missing out.
Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

It's time for Corvette to attack Porsche
Fri, Jun 26 2015For most of its existence, Porsche was a smug little sports car company with a fairly limited lineup and small but steady sales. Any time the company strayed from its air-cooled, rear engine formula, the purists would turn their noses. The 944? The 948? "Not a proper Porsche," they'd sniff. And then came the greatest sin of them all: the Cayenne. To the purists, this was treason. Porsche making an SUV? Horrors! Of course, you all know how it turned out. Porsche grew to be a profit-generating juggernaut within the Volkswagen Group. And since one SUV wasn't enough they added another, the Macan. By the end of the decade Porsche will have quadrupled its global sales. You have to wonder what else it has up its sleeve. Couldn't this be a lesson for General Motors? It has a terrific sports car brand in Corvette. In fact, it's arguably the most iconic brand within GM's full-line portfolio. But for its entire existence that brand has been locked up within Chevrolet. Maybe it's time for GM to treat Corvette as a stand-alone company. Maybe it's time for GM to unlock that brand and treat Corvette as a stand-alone company. A Corvette SUV could be a killer first step. Since Porsche only makes two SUVs, maybe Corvette could make three. Small, medium, and large. And just as Porsche has the Panamera, an executive sedan from team Corvette could become an instant "gotta-have" for the yacht-buying jet set. Of course, the Corvette purists will cringe. And the biggest hue and cry will come from Chevrolet's US dealers. That's why the best place to launch the new Corvette brand would be far away from those franchisees: in China. Chinese consumers have no pre-conceived ideas that 'Vettes can only be sold in Chevy stores. And Chinese enthusiasts very much admire Corvette's historic pedigree. You've no doubt read about how Chinese authorities are cracking down on conspicuous consumption. That makes the timing even better. Corvette's selling point has always been that it is an amazing bargain for the performance you get. What a perfect way to undercut Porsche. In fact, pairing the Corvette brand with Cadillac in China could be just the shot in the arm that Cadillac's Chinese dealers need. Despite having very competitive cars, Cadillac lags far behind Audi, Mercedes, and BMW. What Cadillac dealers need is a lot more showroom traffic. And a jaw dropping lineup of Corvette-branded vehicles could bring in throngs of buyers.
Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year
Tue, Nov 17 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan
Sat, Jul 22 2017Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.
