DOES NOT INCLUDE WINCH & PTO, but you can add $350 and keep them.  I have a guy that will pay me $350 for them, but you can have first crack if you win the truck.  As a result, I have lowered my reserve.

This is a C-20, not a C-10.  Ebay did not give the C-20 as an option, so that's why it says C-10. 

I bought this truck from the city of Lorain at an auction.  It was used by the parks dept to pull a box to drag baseball fields.  It was only used in the local area and that is why the mileage is so low.  It was parked inside and not used during the winter time, which is why the body is so clean.  It has dents and dings and needs a restoration, but it's a very nice candidate for that & is super solid.  

Although it runs nice, i recommend taking it home on a trailer - I have only driven it a very short distance, so I wouldn't trust it until you looked it over good first.  This truck is extremely solid.  It only has minor surface rust on the frame and underneath - not heavy scale. I will add a few more photos in the next day or two, to show the areas that need attention.  It looks like a brand new aluminum radiator was installed fairly recently along with upper and lower radiator hoses.  The tires are pretty decent and have well over 50 percent tread.

I'm going to let the pictures do the talking.  Ask questions before bidding.  I am NOT interested in trading anything.  It has a 350 engine & it has a 4 speed with first gear being granny gear.  If you want any pictures of a specific area, give me a clear description of what you are looking for and an e mail address to send the picture to.  

I have set the reserve at a very reasonable $2,500.  I believe a truck as solid as this is worth far more, but I would rather just get rid of it - i have too many vehicles.  You won't find too many old trucks in this condition without going out west, so if you are from the midwest, factor into your bid, the shipping cost that you may save.

$200 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours or I will offer it to the next highest bidder.  This is to cover my ebay fees if you don't follow through and i have to relist.  Everybody likes to bid, but people don't like to follow through with paying.  DON"T bid unless you have the money and plan to pick it up.  NO EXCUSES.  

Cash on pickup.  I will be going on a 3 week vacation starting May 8th, so you need to pay and pickup before that or you will be waiting until after the 4th of July.

I will NOT end the auction early.  If you want it, BID.

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.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace

Fri, Oct 16 2015

General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.
