NOTE : Pick up is Nampa Idaho .Oregon Border ...No longer Scottsdale AZ ..If you are looking at this ad then you already know that these C10 trucks are among the coolest trucks on the road. This is my 1972 Chevy C10 pick up. It is a Fleetside short wheel base truck, which is by far the most desirable of all the C10 range! This really is an amazing find and a great basis for a restoration or just a mild lowering for a quick attitude change.
From the seller:the truck is showing 87,000 miles currently and was disclosed to me as being the original milage. I have no reason to doubt this statement as the truck is very unmolested and original. This is an original Blue and white truck which is by far, the best looking color combo on these trucks. The paint is still very presentable and with a buffer, it shines up pretty well. I did a quick once over on the whole truck and it comes back very nicely. The truck does have some rust as is typical of these trucks. It has the usual rust in the rockers, door bottoms, and cab corners. It also has rust in the bed. The worst is on the drivers side where it has rusted through. It could be patched but a replacement side is so cheap, that you could go that route if you wanted. I left it since the paint is still strong and matches the patina of the rest of the truck, and honestly it never bothered me. Also the tailgate has a dent in it where it looks like something was dropped on it, as you can see in the photos. . Everything underneath the truck is original and untouched!. Another great thing about this truck is it has all the factory trim still in place, both body and rocker trim giving it a much more deluxe look. All the trim is still there and in good shape.
For power this truck was born with a 350/350 combo motor and trans. It still has the original motor and trans( Matching Numbers) in it which is awesome! The motor runs strong and the trans goes through the gears like it is supposed to. I have not had any issues with the drivetrain in the truck. The truck starts up with just one pump of the gas pedal like it should. Just continue to change the oil regularly and service the other fluids and you should be good to go for many more miles. No strange noises, no stumbling, just good solid american V8 noise coming out of the original exhaust. This is what you would expect from a low mileage original truck. The brakes were recently serviced and work just as they should. This truck, being a 72 comes from the factory with disc front brakes. This particular truck does not have power brakes or power steering, but you never notice either being heavy. The tires are newer and have decent tread left on them, and the factory heater works as well and keeps the cab nice and warm.The shifter lever is hard to get into park and I will try to adjust it this week- I got it from the guy in Boise like that and have not adjusted it .
Inside the truck it is mostly original. The dash pad has been replaced with a new one and the steering wheel is new also. It looks very nice and clean inside with the new gauge bezel to clean up the dash. Seat cover does not have any splits or cuts in it. The door panels still have good color on them and both original arm rests are there too. The stock rubber floor mat is there but has some splits near the gas pedal. I chose to leave this as its original and fits the patina of the truck. Everything works on the dash, lights, heater, wipers, and all the gauges and warning lights. Overall the inside of this truck is very clean and great looking. All the glass on the truck is good too with no cracks or chips. Its well preserved.
In total this is a very cool truck that has been able to resist modifications throughout its life. Trucks like that are hard to find. Another great upside to this truck is that it comes with the original window sticker, owners manual along with the original owners info and the metal build tag as well as the dealership that sold the truck. Things like that solidify the history of this truck and make it so much more interesting. The glove box door build sticker is still there and in great shape showing all the options that this truck came with. The truck has a clean CA title in my name and is ready to go. This is a great candidate for a full restoration since everything is still original and born with the truck, or just use it as is as a daily driver or shop truck. Selling as is, where is without exception. Note- We moved from Arizona and now live in the Oregon area, theTruck is stored and to be picked up in Oregon/Nampa Idaho border area (ou choose), can assist with shipping..... Must be paid within 72 hours of auction end , selling at NO RESERVE... Thanks for checking it out. Note: Pick up is in Oregon/Idaho Border (near Nampa Idaho) ...no longer AZ.
On Jan-30-13 at 08:15:03 PST, seller added the following information:
I have had numerous emails on the truck but the answers are not being posted for some reason so I will add to the listing most of the questions: Yes the floors can be patched and do not need full replace, yes the bedsides need the same work , yes the fenders are good except the lower rear and the doors are the same ,yes it runs and drives out good, no work need on engine or trans except normal maint, yes the seat and interior is good, yes I have contacts to a shipper that goes to the east and midwest and down to Texas area. We live near the Idaho/Oregon border and the truck will be picked up at 97914. Thank you and good luck.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
