This is a rare 1968 Chevrolet Longhorn 3/4 ton 2WD pickup truck. This truck originally came with a 327 but now has a 350 with approximately 20,000 miles on it. It runs excellent and the original 400 Turbo-hydramatic trans works smoothly.I do have an original 1968 truck 327 that I will sell if interested.

This truck came equip with factory power brakes ( I do have the original PB and will include them in this auction) but they have been replaced with manual brakes. Brakes work great. 

In 1968,the Longhorn model debuted on 3/4 ton trucks.These have a 133" wheelbase.... identical to the one ton vehicles, and an extra 6" was added to the bed. Longhorns, were 2wd only; no factory Longhorn 4x4 were built. These trucks are extra heavy duty with leaf spring/coil rear-ends. Because these were designed to carry larger loads than other pickups, it’s been engineered for extra support and better balance all along its 133 inch wheelbase. Its rear suspension, for instance, is built around tough two stage leaf springs for steadier going and surer handling.’ (Coil spring front suspension teams with the rear leaf springs.)You can haul an 11 foot camper and with the bumper that slides out another 3', you can pull your boat and have easy access to your spare tire if you get a flat as the bumper opens up as well.

All sheet metal is in very SOLID condition with NO rust in the usual places and very minor surface rust here and there. This was painted years ago and was NOT painted over rust or bondo.

The bed of the truck has the original wood bed that appears to be in good condition... custom diamond plating was installed over the original bed floor. The chrome was removed to begin a restoration but unfortunately, has since been lost. All glass is good and everything opens and closes like it should. This truck came with 3 factory fuel tanks, bucket seats, and A/C. Seats were replaced with a bench seat (I have original 1968 bucket seats that came out of a 1-ton truck that I will sell if interested...needs reupholstered) and A/C was removed. I'm not sure about the gearing but it is high geared and will go 70 MPH easy on the freeway.Tires have approximately 70% tread left. Will make a road trip...no problem.

 

This a very nice daily driver or an EXCELLENT SOLID truck to restore.

 

Please don't bid unless you have more than 10 positive feedback or bid will be removed.

I wanted to include that I do have most of the original A/C parts but not all... I will include these parts with the truck to the winning bidder.

To clarify some of the questions about this truck.... This is a 1968 Chevrolet Custom Camper Longhorn 2wd 3/4 Ton Pickup that originally came with a 327, bucket seats, A/C, power brakes, & 3 fuel tanks. I do have a factory 1968 truck 327 (NOT the original)...needs rebuilt that I will sell...I have buckets seats for this truck...they need upholstered...I will sell. Lastly, I have the original factory power brakes that will be included with the truck to the winning bidder. This is a beautiful solid truck that has been taken care of and is in excellent condition for this type truck. The collector will appreciate this one.

1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled

Mon, Jan 19 2015

The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.

Fernando Alonso fails to qualify as Pagenaud takes Indy pole

Mon, May 20 2019

Former Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso narrowly failed to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday as France's Simon Pagenaud took pole position for the May 26 race. Kyle Kaiser beat out Alonso for the final spot in the 33-car field when he finished third, one spot ahead of the Spaniard, in a six-car shootout that determined the Indy 500's last row. The 23-year-old Kaiser, the last driver to take the track, averaged 227.372 mph for his four laps, a mere 0.019 mph ahead of Alonso's 227.353 mph average in the McLaren-prepared Chevrolet. "We never surrendered. We kept trying," Alonso, 37, told reporters after a tough week at the famed speedway. The Spaniard crashed his Chevrolet in practice on Wednesday and missed nearly two full days of practice while a back-up car was prepared. Then he tried five times on Saturday to qualify, puncturing a tire on the first attempt. Alonso had a completely new set up for Sunday's shootout but could not get the speed he needed to qualify. "I think the car felt better today than what we had yesterday. (So I am) happy with things we tried," he told reporters before learning he had not qualified. Pagenaud had a four-lap average speed of 229.992 mph to become the first Frenchman to take the pole since Rene Thomas in 1919. "It's just amazing," Pagenaud, who last week won the IndyCar Grand Prix on the track's road course, told NBC Sports. "Obviously last week was amazing, but this is even more special." He will be joined by Ed Carpenter (229.889) and Spencer Pigot (229.826) on the front row. But the Cinderella story belonged to Kaiser, the 33rd qualifier. "I don't think I can wrap my mind around what we just did," he said after bumping Alonso from the field. "This is all the credit to the team. They've been working non-stop trying to get this car ready for us and they did everything that we needed to get into this field."
