Actual Survivor In Great Shape on 2040-cars
Ottawa, Illinois, United States
|
Up for your consideration is a 1972 Chevrolet custom deluxe c-10 this is a two owner, original survivor with authentic patina...the real deal! The truck was originally sold from Zscheile Motor Company at Burlington Kansas The truck still comes with the original dealer imprint plate! Very rare... along with the warranty info /emissions booklet/ and owners manual...all original! This truck is 90 % stock and untouched... The tires are not original, tailgate was replaced, along with some parts under the hood... The original rims, carburetor, wires, points distributor, and air cleaner are available if you are interested in the parts. the carb ,distributor wires, and air cleaner assembly where replaced with newer higher performance parts. (I have the originals in a box) The motor is completely stock and is the 4bolt main and higher compression engine...it requires the 91 octane or higher...still has the original diagnostic sticker to prove it! The motor runs excellent and strong. The trans was refreshed but is the original trans to the truck. shifts strong with no issues, very dependable. the rest of the drive train and suspension is all original and in excellent working order. the truck also has the rear leaf suspension and is very tight, not the wore out money pit of the trailing arm style! The truck has newer dual exhaust with new performance mufflers all in great shape Has new brakes up front, calipers were restored along with the original front rotors The rear brakes are new and the drums are original to the truck, all in great shape\ All the brake lines and fuel lines are in great shape The frame of the truck is in good shape and solid The body is all original and shows authentic patina and wear over the years... this is what is hot now. The real deal! a survivor...a natural not made to look like it is one... priceless originality.... The only rust issues the truck has, is the inside of the bed around the wheel wells and back by the tailgate do have rust that could be repaired and the natural patina of the truck wouldn't be harmed, the rust is on the inside and wouldn't interfere with the exterior look. There is rust on the lower drivers side door but fits the look of the truck... clear coat it to protect it and have the original look. guys are paying big bucks to have this look done. The truck starts, runs, steers, and stops excellent, it is fun and easy to drive.... turns all kinds of heads and is conversation piece at your stops. Very cool truck with no issues, jump in and drive it next spring... or do your custom tweaks during the winter and have it the way you want it come spring! Some one started to put in vintage a/c and didn't finish... I haven't removed it yet. you can either finish it or remove for the complete stock look. The only reason I am selling the truck...I actually bought it for my dad two years ago... worked on everything to make it easy to drive/safe/ and dependable.... and tried to give it to him as a surprise gift...( his favorite truck 30-some years ago was a 1972 that looked just like this one) but he told me he wasn't in to it anymore the love for the old truck was gone... I was pretty shocked... but anyway... I am finally going to sell it now... hopefully it will go to someone who has a passion for it... and will drive and enjoy it. Thanks for looking
Now for the legal crap Clear title in hand....ready to go no warranty cash in person or a bank to bank transfer I'm not going to deliver it to you for a reasonable price so don't ask. hire a company. I will only be involved to watch it be loaded out and hand the hauler the paperwork...(once the truck has been paid in full) NO LOWBALLERS OR TIRE KICKERS deposit of 250 due in 24hrs through paypal If you need to let it set here that's ok, but it will be agreed upon before end of auction and you will pay for the entire truck first. if it sits here past the agreed date I reserve the right to resell it... I reserve the right to end the auction early, (for sale locally) If you have reasonable questions: send and email and be patient for me to reply...I don't check email every day

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
