Thanks for taking a look at this auction. This is my baby that I hoped to never be in a position where I needed to let it go but my fiance' and I have just purchased a house with a one stall garage, single parking space and we have two vehicles we drive and then there is this one which we have no space for. Also, after all the costs involved with purchasing a home, we are in need of funds for closing costs and such. Sorry to go on, but this is killing me because I had hoped to restore it for my boys but I guess such is life.

Anyhow, what she is: A 1969 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside with the rarer bed that has space for the spare tire on the side. I bought this truck from a man who is a professional race car builder located in Muncie, Indiana. He put this together for a sweet rodded up truck. The engine block numbers are #3782870 which reads as a 327cid V8 which was originally out of a 1963 Corvette. It's horsepower was 375 horse from the factory with a 2 barrel carb and the 4 barrel version was rated at almost 400 hp. This one does have the two barrel and it also has a Flamethrower Distributer. He paired the motor with a short track race car transmission which is a Saginaw 4 on the floor and it has a Hurst Shift Kit. Bringing up the rear is a Chevrolet Limited Slip Posi 12 Bolt rear end which I believe to have somewhere around a 373 - 411 gear since it's pushing 3000rpm's at 60mph. The engine also is equipped with what I believe to be true Hooker Headers, but the brand cannot be confirmed. As the final piece to the drivetrain, the man that built this wanted it to have a deep throaty sound so he installed a special exhaust system which I had never heard of but I looked it up on the net and the system he installed costs about $800 just for the kit that you have to install. It is actually designed for a diesel engine truck. The brand is Silverline, and I took a pic of the exhaust tips so you could see that.

This truck is a runner. I drove it home from Chicago to my home which was about a 3hr drive and it performed great. Even the headlights, tail lights, side markers, and dash lights work including a lit custom tach. The bed is solid, so is the frame however if you are going to restore it right, you are going to need a new cab. The floor, rockers, cab corners and inside all along the top of the windshield is rusted something terrible. But when I looked for a cab on craigslist, I actually found several from $175 to $350 for a whole cab. It will come with an extra pair of doors and front fenders as well as an extra pair of tires and a passenger side inner front fender. It's power steering but manual brakes. No stereo but the dash hasn't been molested and its uncut ready for a stock replacement. As far as wiring, the truck is fine except the blower motor which is on a toggle switch. The front seat is in great shape with no rips and if I remember correctly it has a newer fuel tank behind the seat. Right now it just needs a battery and it is ready to go down the road. However, upon a successful auction I will take part of the money I get for the $500 I would require within 24hrs to purchase a new battery so it will be ready to go. I just put a brand new speedo cable on it last year. I also will be including an authentic set of front and rear 1969 Michigan Licence plates which if you register and title her in Michigan, it will only cost you $30 for the rest of your life with no renewal fees.

There is quite a bit of money invested but I am realistic and I know I'll never get back what I have into it. My reserve is set at the bare minimum that I can bear to take and I will say it is very reasonable keeping in mind the drivetrain alone.

Upon winning, like I said I would like to have a $500 down payment within 24 hours. I will then buy a battery and it is a runner so I would be even willing to drive to meet you to drop it off but I can only go 75 miles from my location which is Holton, Mi 49425. However, if you are from a distant state and are going to need it shipped, I will work with any shipping company that you employ but you will be responsible for setting it up and paying for it. If my reserve is not met, I will contact the highest bidder and let them have a chance to make me an offer. If it is a reasonable offer and I accept it, I will relist it with the offer as a buy it now price so they may then confirm the purchase as I will not do anything against ebay rules buy trying to sell it outside of ebay. I did take a video of the truck starting and running. As I came around back, there was a little black smoke coming from the right bank. I set the camera down and filed both pipes as I cracked the throttle. Upon reviewing the video, I saw smoke coming out of both pipes. This appeared to me to be unburnt fuel because I have never done a tuneup nor have I ever adjusted the carburetor and I think its running rich. Lastly I would suggest adjusting the valve train. A few months ago I thought I did a good job because I got all the clack out of the rockers but every now and then it will tick for just a second. Here is the video:

Thank you again for taking the time to consider this diamond in the rough. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. Good luck and Happy Bidding!

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper

Fri, Nov 10 2017

With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.
