Here is my 1965 Chevrolet C10
I really do not want to sell this truck, I would love to keep it and restore it while using it as a driver but its just not in the cards right now. So, here is a very good start to your Hot Rod truck. Engine fires right up and sounds great. I purchased this from a guy who had spent some money on it and then just larked it in his shop. The original 6 was removed for a freshly rebuilt 305. Started with a block and had all machine work done and built up from there. There is a new intake along with a holley carb. New Distrib and wires as well. Headers and new exhaust let it breath. There is also a flex fan up front to keep it cool along with a transmission cooler. The tranny is a turbo 350 auto with a hurst stick in the floor of the cab. The front has been converted to disc. 5x5 lug all the way around. A new master under the hood as well, no power brakes but they stop great and dont pull to either side. The interior is super clean and simple. The seat has had new pad and and covered. A temp and oil pressure gauge are mounted under the dash and work well. The gas tank has been vatted and replaced and looks great. The wood slats for the bed have been removed and replace with one solid piece of wood. Once again, this truck is a great start to a very nice final result or drive it as is. The body on this truck is super solid. There are dings all over it but nothing big at all. The body is super straight. There is one rust through spot right behind the passenger side front wheel on the fender. An easy fix for a body guy. There are a couple of other very small rust spots right on the drivers floor board as well. Once again,very minor and minimal for these trucks. The side glass is good, but the windshield is cracked pretty good. The hood and the tailgate both open as they should. I started it right up and drove it 25 miles to my shop this past week and went 70 down the highway the whole way. This really is a cool old truck. It is driver but it is still a project. I will help load the truck up if shipping is desired or come check it out and pick it up. The inspection and registration is not up to date. Also, original owner manual and Protect-O-Plate is included.
Thanks for looking.
This vehicle is being sold as-is.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
