This is a 1969 Chevy C10 two wheel drive long bed truck. It is the typical truck of this era, has some rust, some mechanical issues, a few cosmetic flaws and lots of character and potential. It is NOT a numbers matching show truck, a concours restoration or a time capsule unmolested truck. it is a good old work/shop truck with a good base to start with or just keep it like it is and drive the wheels off of it. It does have it's good points as well as bad, I will try to cover both sides as best as I can.
First, mechanical condition.. It is a small block Chevy, not really sure what size. It starts right up, idles fine and pulls down the road. It has been converted to HEI ignition and should really have a new set of spark plug wires, the ones on it are pretty shabby. It has a Holley 600 carburetor on a factory intake. Has shiney valve covers and air cleaner but they have seen better days. Cast iron exhaust manifolds with dual exhaust. It is a three speed manual transmission , 3OTT (three on the tree). If you know these old trucks you know what is coming next, the shifter linkage needs adjusting. It drives and shifts but you have to know the "touch". To go to second, you almost slide up into reverse, then back down and up n over into second. The shift collar has been broken at one time and looks like it was JB Welded back together. Again, nothing major but a common problem with these old trucks and would really need to be fixed before doing a lot of everyday driving. The truck was an air coditioned model but the a/c components are long gone. Power steering works good and brakes stop like they should. Lights burn, wipers wipe.
Next, cosmetic condition. It has rust, has had some rust repaired and still needs body work. Chrome front and rear bumpers, pretty nice grille and has had the passenger fender replaced at one time, although it has a dent in it now. Tailgate has a big dent along the top but still functons as it should and bed is in real good shape. Rockers are rusty, inner front fenders are like they all are,, rusty. The good point is the area above the windshield does not appear to be rusted out like a lot of these trucks do. Doors open and close, passenger side outside door handle button is broken but you can still open the door with it. Paint job looks like a home shop effort but color is good. It is popping off in some spots. Interior needs a drivers side door panel.
I know i was pretty rough on the truck but had rather talk it down than mislead anyone about it. Does it need work, oh yeah. Would it be a good drive it while you work on it truck, oh yeah. Would I take off to either coast in it,, oh no, no way. All in all, it is just a good old truck that could make you a good shop truck, work truck or with effort and money a really nice cruiser. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask as I am sure I missed some things. We are flexible enough that we can work with your shipper if at all possible. Thanks and good luck.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
