1969 Chevy C20 Longhorn Edition on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:99999

We bought the truck last summer for our 16 year old son as a restoration project.  He has decided he doesn’t want to “fix up the truck”…so we bought a 1986 Chevy K10 that was already done.  The 1969 is the most iconic year for the vintage Chevy Trucks, in my mind.

 

Here are the assets of the truck (which was named Bulla by our son)

The truck is a great truck mechanically

Everything works as it should

It starts

Drives nice

Doesn’t use or leak any fluids

The tires are in good shape

The rims are very nice. 

Is a Factory A/C Truck – which means the pieces are there to run A/C this summer.  It will need a Compressor.

It is the Rare Longhorn edition – The truck has a 8’6”bed.  In 1969, the bed would have been wood. Somewhere along the way someone welded in a diamond plate bed.  It has no RUST inside the bed – on the floor or sides.

The frame is solid.

 

The liabilities:

Passenger side rocker is virtually gone

Minor Dings & Dents

Pinhole rust on the outside of the bed – all has been treated with Rust Kill

Rust on Drip Rail

 

It could be a great daily driver.  It has a great patina to it and we get compliments all the time.  This year of truck has each andevery piece reproduced – so it is a easy project truck, if someone wanted to restore it.  Redone it is valued around $10-15,000 according to Hagerty. Here are some current prices of the repair parts from LMC Truck’s Website – https://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/CB/full.aspx?Page=4

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
