This is a very original, rare, and solid 1961 Chevy Custom C-10 Fleetside pickup. It only has 83,030 actual miles on it. Very solid truck with no signs of rust repair that I can see. Came out of lower Arkansas where snow and salt are not an issue. All original body panels, floor pans, rockers, body mounts, fenders, etc. The underside of this truck has not been painted or undercoated to hide any rust or repairs. Even has the original spiral shock adsorbs and spare tire wheel. One repaint years ago in the factory 2 tone turquoise and white that it came with from the factory. Still in very nice shape with just some minor road chip touch-ups from it being driven over gravel roads. Still shines up nicely. Bed has newer hard wood and stainless steel strips. Interior appears to be all original except for a replacement seat cover, door sill plates, and maybe the rubber mat. It shows very well. Glass is all very good except for one small rock chip that is not noticeable unless you lift up the left wiper blade. Suspension is all stock and very tight. Brakes are all stock and very good. No power brakes or steering. Radial tires and exhaust are new. Chrome and stainless trim is very nice. Nice quality aftermarket CD - AM/FM radio in glove box with remote. Comes with both original, and very thick, Chevy truck dealer body and mechanical service manuals. Truck was originally a 283 V-8 with a 3 speed on the column. It is now running a rebuilt 350 with a rebuilt 350 turbo transmission. Both run out great. The only issue with it is that the guy re-used the original stick steering column and hooked up the shifter rod to the 2nd and 3rd stick lever. It works OK once you get used to it, but you have to feel your way into gear. I did pickup an automatic column for it and it is included in the sale. I do have an original bell housing with proper hydraulic slave cylinder and a later model fully synchronized 3 speed tranny for a little more if you want to put it back as a stick shift.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
