* 1978 Chevrolet C-10 Fleetside Pickup * * Cheyenne BIG-10 * Before you and up for bid is my 1978 Chevrolet C-10 "BIG10" 2WD Fleetside pickup. The ownership history & particulars on the truck are as follows: * In the family since new. On 9/22/77, Harry & Elizabeth Larsen traveled the short distance from their home in Arlington, S.D. to Anderson Chevrolet in De Smet, S.D., to take delivery of their new 1978 Chevy C-10 pickup truck. The truck had been specially ordered earlier that summer. Arlington and De Smet are both rural farming communities in the southeastern S.D. For those literarily familiar, yes, De Smet is the town where Laura Ingalls Wilder was raised, and the subject location for five of her books including "Little Town on the Prairie", which reflect upon her childhood there. * A one rancher owner, garaged & pampered, non-smoker, no accident history pickup truck. * Only 50,654 actual miles! * Ordered with 24 options, they are as follows: * A28 Sliding rear window * E63 Fleetside Box * LS9 V8 engine 350 CID w/4 bbl carb * N33 Comfort tilt steering wheel * PO1 Bright Wheel Trim Covers * UF2 Cargo Lamp * Z53 Gauge Pkg * Z84 Cheyenne Pkg * A01 Soft-Ray Tinted Glass * C60 All Weather Air Conditioning * F44 Heavy Duty Chassis * MX1 Auto Transmission * NL2 Auxillary Fuel Tank * N41 Power Steering * UA1 HD Delco 4000 Watt Battery * U63 AM Pushbutton Radio * U76 Windshield Antenna * ZY4 Deluxe Two Tone Paint * 64D Buckskin Woven Fabric * V46 Chrome Front Bumper * XLD, YLD, ZLD L78-15 Front, Rear & Spare tires. * The BIG-10 model is a versatile heavy duty workhorse, (6200 GVWR) what distinguished it was the massive girder beam front suspension (3400 lb capacity) heavy duty front coils, heavy duty rear leaf springs, heavy duty front disc/rear drum brake system with power assist. BIG-10's also operated on either lead-free or regular gasoline. Having only been driven slightly more than 50K miles over the course of 36 years, the 350 V8 runs very well. There are absolutely NO annoying drips or leaks. The TH350 transitions smoothly through its upshifts, and goes easily into reverse. The truck is essentially a solid rust free example, (NO salt or winter corrosives)there is light stone chipping at the lower corners at the front of the bed, (see pics) this adds to the truck's patina. This is an original "survivor" truck, it has not been restored. The Cordova brown paint is factory original to the truck, it is deep metallic root beer in color that still has a nice finish to it. (see pic to illustrate reflection) The white on the sides have been resprayed, the trim was removed prior to doing so. The interior rates a 9.5. The upholstery is near perfect, as the seats were always covered. The carpet are in great shape with no heel wear. The original cab length vinyl floor mat is present. The door panels are in great condition, no dents to the Cheyenne package aluminum inserts. Nice kick panels. All gauges are fully functional. No steering wheel cracks. Perfect headliner and sun visors. Perfect dash, there are NO cracks or warps. All safety features, lights, wipers, horn, directionals, emergency flashers, etc. are fully operational. The factory AM radio still plays well. The truck is equipped with factory AC, though it is not blowing cold. I checked into a new compressor, they are approximately $160.00. The system would necessitate retrofitting to 134 refrigerant. Excellent heater/defroster. All original glass, the windshield still displays the 1978 state inspection sticker. It had 2 small chips which were resin filled, neither chip is in the drivers field of vision. The windows roll up & down properly. All weatherstripping is soft and pliable, the window brows are in good condition. Power steering Nice grill Nice chrome front bumper, NO pits, flaking or rust. Recent service includes new belt(s), hoses, fresh fluids, a brake service and 4 new Hankook 235/70-15 all season tires, (under 10 miles) and alignment. The factory original full size Dayton spare is present, while it holds air and is not dry rotted, I would not rely upon it. The bottle jack and tire tool are in their factory provision under the hood. Dual fuel tanks, the switch over works fine. The 8' bed is in great shape showing only light scuff wear, the tailgate opens and closes properly, and the cargo lamp works. The truck is wired with a period correct brake controller. All original keys, owners manual, warranty book, assorted operational pamphlets, purchase titling contract, build sheet and the original sales brochure will accompany the sale of the truck. At 36 years of age, the C-10 looks, runs and drives great! It is a very solid and tight truck. It goes down the road effortlessly, and stops accordingly. It has the power to accelerate, when needed. You are bidding to purchase the C-10, not to be the first to look at it. Inspections are welcomed and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. Thank you. Please have your funding in place prior to placing your bid. Thank you. Please consult with your spouse, therapist, pet or Magic 8-Ball prior to placing your bid, as I am not running a clinic for the confused. Thank you. I have set a reasonable and fair reserve for the C-10. It is commensurate with the condition of the truck, the care it has received, the ownership history, and the very low miles. Do NOT ask me what the reserve is, as I will not disclose it. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the "survivor" 1978 Chevy C-10 Fleetside BIG-10 Cheyenne pickup truck, that you see before you. A $1000.00 initial payment is due within 24 hours of auction close VIA PayPal. The balance is then due and payable within 7 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer that the balance be paid VIA a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. I will accept PayPal for the entire purchase ONLY if the buyer pays ALL PayPal related fees including the initial payment. Cash in person upon arrival is also acceptable for the balance. If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback, less than 10 eBay transactions, or excessive negative feedback, you will need to CALL ME prior to submitting your bid to express your intentions, otherwise your bid will be cancelled, and you will be blocked from further bidding. This guideline is in place due to disingenuous bidders that place bids, win auctions, and then fail to fulfill their purchase commitment(s). Thank you. If you cannot or will not abide by any of these simple terms, please do not bid. I am a legitimate seller simply seeking a legitimate buyer. Thank you. Transportation and or delivery is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Trailered delivery is possible within the lower 48 states for $1000.00. (non-negotiable) I can also recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. If you make your own arrangements, I will assist in coordinating with your chosen shipper. The truck and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. If you choose to fly in and drive home, I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. While I am confident that the truck could be driven home safely to anywhere in America, bear in mind that it is a 36 year old truck and as such, the pragmatic approach would be to ship it. Also given the age of the truck, it is understood by the buyer that it is being sold in "as is" condition, with no expressed, written or implied warranties. I strive to thoroughly represent a vehicle honestly and accurately. Those that have purchased my vehicles are consistantly pleased, with expectations exceeded. Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. This is a relatively inexpensive truck that most anyone can afford and enjoy for many years to come. To those interested, yes, the truck is "EMP proof". Clear Colorado title in my name. I am not a dealer. I am a collector hobbyist that is eager to commence on a project that necessitates the space presently occupied by the Chevy. The truck and title will not be released until full payment has been received. Ebay only provides for 24 pictures. I have chosen pictures that best present a concise overview of the truck. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me directly and present your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave a message, and I will return your call promptly. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid! Jeff (719)-492-1234, c

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
2017 Chevy Bolt charged up for production
Thu, Jun 11 2015Chevy's decision to call its new electric car the Bolt has stirred controversy and confusion, but regardless, it's well on its way to becoming a production reality. The prototype captured in these shots is heavily camouflaged, but the crossover/hatchback styling cues are still evident. The car also has a tall greenhouse, slight creases in the sides, and a sloping roofline in back. There's a rapidly rising body line that makes for less glass for rear passengers, but that's probably part of the camo. The Bolt is expected to arrive for 2017 and will be sold in all 50 states. The Chevy Bolt carries the promise of bringing EV technology to a broader audience. Chevy said the car will cost about $30,000 after possible tax incentives and could have a range of 200 miles. It will be assembled at General Motors' Orion Assembly factory north of Detroit. The Bolt will augment the plug-in hybrid Volt in Chevy's green fleet, and it will compete against vehicles like the BMW i3 and Nissan Leaf. Related Video:
Weekly Recap: BMW rolls out ambitious plug-in hybrid electric plan
Sat, Dec 6 2014"We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important." – Julian Arguelles Let there be no doubt, BMW is serious about electric vehicles. The German automaker said this week it will make plug-in hybrid versions of all of its core models, an aggressive move that demonstrates its commitment to electric propulsion systems. BMW did not specify which vehicles will get the plug-in systems or provide a timeline for when they will arrive. But the announcement is clearly more than blustering, and the company revealed a 3 Series plug-in prototype this week at an event in France. BMW said the 3 Series uses a version of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 horsepower, 300 pound feet of torque) with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission in place of the torque converter. It has an all-electric range of 22 miles. A plug-in X5 with the same powertrain was also displayed alongside the 3 Series, though the X5 has been on the auto-show circuit for more than a year, including a recent stop in Los Angeles. Those two vehicles use "eDrive," and BMW's plans represent the first widespread transfer of its technology from development of the i3 and i8 models to more mainstream products. BMW said it's developing electric powertrains so they can be deployed rapidly across its range, and they are flexible enough to be used with fuel cells in future products. Enticingly, BMW is also working on a "Power eDrive" system, which debuted in a 5 Series GT concept at the event in France. This setup has two electric motors powered by a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and when teamed with a four-cylinder turbo, pump out about 670 hp. Reinforcing BMW's commitment, the company will add more than 200 jobs at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany, to support electric-vehicle development. The moves come as BMW and other automakers diversify their portfolios while fuel economy and emissions regulations are getting tighter around the world. The United States has set a 54.5-mpg CAFE requirement for the 2025 model year. BMW said the electric vehicles were developed with an eye toward the US market, its government policies and its wide-ranging commuting styles. "We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important," spokesman Julian Arguelles said. Ben Scott, a senior analyst in London with automotive research firm IHS, said BMW's moves are expensive – but necessary – to keep pace with the market.
