1969 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Base 5.7l on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:99999
Location:

Liberty, Missouri, United States

Liberty, Missouri, United States

See pics.  Third generation pickup (father-in-law to brother-in-law to me) has a remanufactured 350 with about 20,000 miles, Edlebrock carb and intake, headers and many newer parts. Finally decided that a full restoration isn't going to happen and ready to get her out of the barn. Newer tires and brakes. Truck has been in the barn for 18 months but starts and runs.  Has a wood bed with a plate steel overlay and all the usual rust.  

Small reserve because I'm not giving her away. I'll accept Paypal or cash (but not a check from your secretary accidentally made out for more than the sale amount) i.e. no scammers.

350 V8, three speed manual, 2 wheel drive. NO air.  Standard dash (no tach).  Clear Missouri title in hand.

The good:  before we placed her in the barn she passed the Missouri inspection each year and was driven on a routine basis.

The bad: been sitting for 18 months.  Runs but should be checked out before being driven too far.

Forgot to tell you this is a long bed and obviously a fleetside.  Here's a list of parts we replaced since aquiring it from the brother-in-law:


Remaufactured 350 (but numbers are correct for 1969)
all front suspension
ball joints
front control rods and bushings
heater core
clutch and throwout bearing
brakes
wheel cylindars
blower motor
Eldebrock 4 barrel carb (650 I think)
Headers (cheap ones - sounds like one bank has rusted out)
dual exhaust
shocks
master brake cylinder
truck floor shifter (was three on the tree)
a Chevy AM/FM cassette radio (not period correct but from the late 70s)

I plan to get out into the barn tomorrow and take a bunch more pics.

 Added a bunch of pictures taken today in the barn. Someone asked me how long ago the cab corners and bed arches were replaced - Joe thinks it was about 25 years ago when he got the truck from grandpa.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We 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.

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.
