1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup Custom 283 V8 4-Speed Small Window One Owner Survivor Hello in
eBay land. I have a great find for
you! This is a 1963 1/2 ton Chevrolet C-10 with the original 283 V8 and all of its original paint too. Other than the seat, this truck is all factory
original including the paint. I found this
truck in the barn on a farm just like one would expect. It had not been started or moved since at
least 1990. I doubt if it was used much
before then either. The plates are
original Pacific Wonderland and the bumper still has the brand of the local
Chevy dealer that sold it new. I fell in love
with the truck right away. It was far
from perfect and still is.. The bones
are what I look for in a find like this one.
The fact that a vehicle is only original once motivates me to buy these
whenever I find them. I mean really, how
many like this are out there anymore? I
hope that what I did to it and what I purposefully didn’t do will help tell the
story and give the new buyer either a starting point or a finished truck
depending on their desire. The fact
that the truck only had one owner is another check in the plus column for this
Chevrolet.. Unfortunately, the owner
died and I didn’t get to talk to him about the truck. I bought it from his estate and had it towed
to my shop. The seat was
all ripped up, the brakes were frozen, the gas in the tank was past old, the
shocks were solid, and it had not been started in an eon. I had some work to do.. We first pulled the seat out and sent it to
the upholsterer’s so he could source the material and get it looking right
again. Next we removed the gas tank and
sent it out to be cleaned and sealed.
While this was happening away from the shop we got started on the brakes
and shocks. I also pulled the carburetor
and personally rebuilt it. (I wish all
carbs were this simple). We also
started polishing the finish. It really
came back nice.. Yes, there is a lot of
patina.. I wouldn’t change any of
it.. You can’t make a truck look like
this on purpose.. It takes 50 years of
life to do it. The truck is really quite
solid. It has lived its whole life in
Oregon and even though it rains.. (a
lot) we don’t salt the roads and
vehicles remain pretty rust free around here.
There are a few spots that would be easy to fix, but I
wanted to show the truck honestly and let the next owner decide how far to go
with the truck’s restoration. The
passenger front corner of the hood has a spot, there is a pin hole in the driver’s
rocker panel on the top side, and there is a smale hole on the inside of the tailgate. That’s all I could
find though. The floor boards are solid
and so is the frame. The wood bed
is also original and has some soft wood and splits.. It’s totally useable, but also easy to
replace too. If I was keeping the truck
that would be my first “do it yourself” project.. I should
take a second and talk about the engine.
Just from an aesthetic point of view it is really stunning. Totally clean and original.. Simple and pretty and factory in every way. Once we got
the tank back and the carb was back in place we added fuel, installed a new
battery and gave her a crank.. She
started immediately and ran as smooth as anybody could hope. I cannot say enough about the motor in this
truck.. The engine is rock solid. It does not move at all. It revs smoothly and delivers even power
too. No leaks no issues at
all.. It is an old design so you need to pull the choke when its cold and let it warm up a bit.. it is beautiful though and very simple to understand. I couldn’t wait
to drive it so I jumped in on a bucket to check out the rest of it.. I’m sure the new brakes and shocks helped out
but I was really impressed. The clutch
is perfect as are all the syncros and even though there is no power steering or
brakes, it is super easy to drive..
(even sitting on a bucket J..) The heater
works, the blinkers work, the lights all work, the cool wipers work.. I was grinning from ear to ear.. I got the
seat back a few days later and wow.. I
mean show truck wow.. I put it in and we
were finished.. To sum up,
this is an original patina 1963 Chevrolet with a perfect seat and beautiful
engine. It may look old and tattered to
some, but that is the point.. It runs
and drives runs like a dream. This C-10
has a ton of vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future
appreciation. I am setting
the reserve very low and I know the Chevrolet will sell as
long as we all play by these rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any
and all questions before bidding. #3. Please
contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is
an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to
describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees. #5. I will
not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the truck. Pay-Pal is for the deposits only, the balance
must be paid by certified check or wire.
Legitimate and legal buyers only please.
Just be real
and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or
her purchase. I have 100% positive
feedback and I plan on keeping that.
Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the
last second and worry about missing out.
Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla factory tour video, Obama rejects Keystone XL
Sat, Nov 7 2015Tesla takes us on a 90-second factory tour in a new video. In the footage, we see humans and robots hard at work putting together the electric cars we all know and love. Pieces of the manufacturing process are interspersed with larger shots of the factory floor. In the end, we see the finished product leave the factory and speed off onto a cone course. Check it out in the video above. President Obama has rejected the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline. After a seven-year review, he says it would not be in America's interest to build the 1,179-mile pipeline to bring oil from Canada's tar sands to the Gulf of Mexico. He cites passing a bipartisan infrastructure bill as a better way to create jobs, says US gas prices are already falling, and that reducing reliance on fossil fuels is a better way toward energy security. "The industry can find a different way to move that oil," says Christine Tezak, energy market analyst at ClearView Energy Partners. "If prices go up, companies will get the oil out."

Donations raised from the auction will help the organization bring student robotics projects to communities in need of greater science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education representation. "The Volt exemplifies technology, and behind the next-generation Chevrolet Volt is a diverse team of engineers who understand the power of science and math," says Chevrolet Marketing Director Steve Majoros. "FIRST brings science and math alive outside the classroom, just like we are bringing it alive on the road." Read more from Chevrolet. Nissan has been ranked among the top five percent of global corporations in the Carbon Disclosure Project's (CDP) 2015 Climate Change Report. Nissan scored a perfect 100 points in CDP's Climate Disclosure Leadership Index. Nissan's successful Leaf EV, as well as its efforts to reduce well-to-wheel CO2 emissions by 90 percent by 2050, earned the automaker its high marks. "Nissan is providing customers with innovative products and promoting effective use of energy and resource by increasing sourcing diversity, such as with renewable energy and recycled materials," says Nissan Corporate Vice President Joji Tagawa. "We will continue our activities to achieve our environmental philosophy of 'a Symbiosis of People, Vehicles and Nature.'" Read more in the press release below.
2022 Detroit Auto Show Editors' Picks
Fri, Sep 16 2022As tends to be the case in this post-ish-pandemic world of auto shows, the North American International Auto Show was a strange one. It was at least mostly indoors and thus not at the mercy of Mother Nature. And unlike that first Chicago Show following the initial pandemic shutdown, this one was all assembled before the media arrived. Even with a much thinner show floor, the Detroit Auto Show still gave us a number of noteworthy reveals. Now, full disclosure, the rules for our Detroit picks were made a little more flexible, since some of these vehicles were revealed a little before the week of the show. But we still focused on vehicles that were making their show debut, and were actually present on the floor. Sadly, that means we had to leave out the Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S electric SUV concepts. Odds are, those would've made it into our list of the top five if they had actually been on display. Now, on to the winners. 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe View 18 Photos 5. 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe This was an easy one. While there's nothing so remarkable about the Willys that it makes this package a must-buy, it's nice to see another model available with the 4xe powertrain. Just one question, though: Where was the Recon? – Byron Hurd Chevrolet Blazer EV View 7 Photos 4. 2024 Chevy Blazer EV As a fan of the K5 and S-10 Blazer generations, I was a bit bemused when the current-gen crossover came out ... until I drove it and realized how good it actually is. Now that there's a Blazer EV incoming, I feel like I can become a true fan again. And there's a lot for fans to appreciate: FWD, RWD and AWD versions, and even a 557-horsepower SS variant. In a lineup of practical, Ultium-based Chevy utes, it's good to see an attainable product that enthusiasts can get behind — along the lines of Ford with its Mustang Mach-E — while we wait for an electric Corvette. — Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder 2023 Chrysler 300C View 28 Photos 3. 2023 Chrysler 300C In a poignant press conference with the Spirit of Detroit statue in the background, Chrysler sent its flagship 300 out properly with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8. Stellantis design chief Ralph Gilles articulated the car's successes — its many awards and sterling reviews from its early days — and the cover came off with a veritable 300C hot rod on display. One more time, the 300 is at full strength. To be clear, this isn't the 300S with an available 5.7-liter.
