I had to list it as a C-10 because ebay does not give a C-20 option.  

Let's keep this as short as possible:

If you are looking for a resto-modified, lowered, lifted, color-changed, leathered-up, blinged-out pick-up with 24" chrome wheels and a stereo more powerful than the engine........... this is NOT your truck.

But if you are searching for a mostly original, unaltered, unabused, classic Chevy C-20, than you are looking at the right pick-up.

What we have here is an honest 1972 C-20 with a factory big block and WORKING factory A/C. 
It originated in dry Eastern Washington and was used to haul around a pick-up Camper. That's the reason why it is equipped with front stabilizer, rear suspension leaf springs, heavy duty front shocks and camper mirrors. It also has two extra tanks on each side of the truck bed.

It is medium olive metallic with a white top. It was repainted many years ago and the paint still shows very nicely.
There is absolutely no rust on this truck and the rocker panels, cab corners and the truck bed are in excellent condition.
I added the brackets for a DrawTite 5th wheel hitch, but I never used it. The complete hitch assembly comes with the truck.

The interior is olive cloth and it was reupholstered with the original material about a year ago. It is like new again.

The dash has one very small crack (about 1 cm long).

The original green rubber floor shows some wear on the driver side.

The right door panel seems to be a darker green (instead of the olive green) and shows some scuffs.

There are a couple of small dents on the right door where the mirror is attached.

A tachometer was added to the steering column and it works.

The orig. AM radio is completely intact and plays fine.

A/C was just completely rebuilt, using the orig. housing of the compressor, and refilled with R12. It is freezing cold.

Since I collect mainly European classic cars, my in-depth knowledge about classic Chevrolets is unfortunately not great. 

What I can tell you though, the power and the sound of this monster is unbelievable.
It has hooker headers, a "mild" cam and flowmasters.  It is the perfect "sleeper" truck.
It looks like the engine was rebuilt, since it runs absolutely flawlessly.
The Turbo 400 transmission also works perfectly.

This truck needs nothing and has no issues.  I would not hesitate to drive it across country if the cost of fuel was not a factor. LOL.
It has a clear Washington title in my name with 1972 YOM (year of manufacture) plates  which can stay with the truck.
It is smog exempt in California and most, if not all, other states.

Buttomline, it is 41 years old, has aged gracefully and brings a smile to your face every time you drive it.

2016 Chevrolet Malibu First Drive [w/video]

Mon, Dec 7 2015

You have to appreciate honesty in this business. When a car company admits its offering in a segment isn't up to the task, it catches you by surprise. The surprisingly open Chevy reps stopped short of saying that making the last Malibu smaller was a mistake, but given that the righting of the ship included a lengthening of this new model, it was certainly implied. The eighth-generation Malibu lasted only three years, with a major update coming just one year in to try and fix some of the bigger concerns. The goal for the 2016 Malibu wasn't to make a competent product better, it was to make an okay one good again. That started with a stretch. The Malibu is long again, a big car that meets America's warped idea of a midsized car. Because of this, the Malibu's dimensions sidle up to the Impala's. In fact, it's within a fraction of an inch of the Impala's wheelbase measurement, and sits right between the last Malibu and the Impala in terms of EPA passenger volume. The back seat gets the most of the payoff, bringing it back into competition with other midsized counterparts. The Malibu is now one of the longest in the segment, but also among, if not the, lightest. The 2016 model is claimed to be about 300 pounds lighter than its dimensionally challenged predecessor. While most new models tend to choose between lighter or larger these days, Chevy managed not-insignificant improvements to both. Styling doo-dads no longer separate the trim levels, it's the features inside that fuel the upsell. Some of that weight came out of the front end. The aluminum hood is lighter than before, and we'd wager that's because it stops very short of the leading edge of the car. Instead, the nose is enshrouded in a big plastic fascia, which has to be an advantage at the scales but creates a somewhat unfinished look. That's amplified by the fact that everything ahead of the hood is a bit busy, and actually surprisingly aggressive, in contrast to the rest of the design. The new Cruze, with its cowl-to-grille hood, wears a more cohesive new-Chevy front end. The styling adopts the, dare we say it, coupe-like look of many (most?) new family sedans. The profile is attractive enough but almost generic now since the Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, and others have already moved in this direction. The rear-end styling is inoffensive, almost original Mercedes CLS meets current Impala.

Our favorite mid-engine Corvette theories and rumors

Tue, Sep 13 2016

The mid-engine Corvette! We just saw blurry photos through the foliage, and are hearts are all aflutter because it means that this car is real. And it's the most " never before" Corvette since 1984. Which leads us to all kinds of wacky theories and speculation. Everybody knows something or heard from a guy. None of those guys (or gals) from GM are talking to Autoblog, to be clear. But that won't stop us from stirring the pot. Let's go over a few point-by-point. The pushrod engine will be replaced by an overhead-cam V8 Car and Driver has repeatedly reported that an overhead-cam engine will come after the mid-engine Corvette's debut with an old-school pushrod. We've heard the same thing firsthand, albeit from a source with no connection to the development of the Corvette or powertrain. "At some point two valves can't pass future emissions regulations," said the guy we know. While the pushrod engine is compact, the design makes it difficult - if not impossible - for sophisticated variable valve timing (and lift) systems that control combustion with more precision. Hasty conclusion: The pushrod engine has a finite life in front of it. This one's a lock, it's a just a matter of when. Bowling Green's new paint shop is really the mid-engine assembly line Credit to Reddit for this one. Like we said, everybody knows a guy. But let's look deeper. The new paint facility costs $439 million dollars and adds 450,000 square feet, almost half the size of the existing plant. Plus GM announced another $290 million in upgrades at Bowling Green Assembly. That sure sounds like a lot of money, but you can actually spend that much on a paint booth. Porsche spent 500 million Euros (about $561 million dollars) to add the Macan assembly to its Leipzig, Germany plant in 2014. Chrysler shelled out $850 million for a paint shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan. GM spent $600 million for a new paint shop at the Fairfax (Kansas City) plant. Honda, on the other hand, is working on a thrifty $210 million project in Marysville, Ohio that includes a 300,000 square foot expansion, and the low-volume Acura NSX facility only cost $70 million. Hasty conclusion: The square footage and cost could easily mean a new assembly line instead of (or in addition to) a paint line. And if the NSX plant was really that cheap, GM could have hidden a similar sum in its existing announcements.
