Thanks for taking a look at this auction. This is my baby that I hoped to never be in a position where I needed to let it go but my fiance' and I have just purchased a house with a one stall garage, single parking space and we have two vehicles we drive and then there is this one which we have no space for. Also, after all the costs involved with purchasing a home, we are in need of funds for closing costs and such. Sorry to go on, but this is killing me because I had hoped to restore it for my boys but I guess such is life.

Anyhow, what she is: A 1969 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside with the rarer bed that has space for the spare tire on the side. I bought this truck from a man who is a professional race car builder located in Muncie, Indiana. He put this together for a sweet rodded up truck. The engine block numbers are #3782870 which reads as a 327cid V8 which was originally out of a 1963 Corvette. It's horsepower was 375 horse from the factory with a 2 barrel carb and the 4 barrel version was rated at almost 400 hp. This one does have the two barrel and it also has a Flamethrower Distributer. He paired the motor with a short track race car transmission which is a Saginaw 4 on the floor and it has a Hurst Shift Kit. Bringing up the rear is a Chevrolet Limited Slip Posi 12 Bolt rear end which I believe to have somewhere around a 373 - 411 gear since it's pushing 3000rpm's at 60mph. The engine also is equipped with what I believe to be true Hooker Headers, but the brand cannot be confirmed. As the final piece to the drivetrain, the man that built this wanted it to have a deep throaty sound so he installed a special exhaust system which I had never heard of but I looked it up on the net and the system he installed costs about $800 just for the kit that you have to install. It is actually designed for a diesel engine truck. The brand is Silverline, and I took a pic of the exhaust tips so you could see that.

This truck is a runner. I drove it home from Chicago to my home which was about a 3hr drive and it performed great. Even the headlights, tail lights, side markers, and dash lights work including a lit custom tach. The bed is solid, so is the frame however if you are going to restore it right, you are going to need a new cab. The floor, rockers, cab corners and inside all along the top of the windshield is rusted something terrible. But when I looked for a cab on craigslist, I actually found several from $175 to $350 for a whole cab. It will come with an extra pair of doors and front fenders as well as an extra pair of tires and a passenger side inner front fender. It's power steering but manual brakes. No stereo but the dash hasn't been molested and its uncut ready for a stock replacement. As far as wiring, the truck is fine except the blower motor which is on a toggle switch. The front seat is in great shape with no rips and if I remember correctly it has a newer fuel tank behind the seat. Right now it just needs a battery and it is ready to go down the road. However, upon a successful auction I will take part of the money I get for the $500 I would require within 24hrs to purchase a new battery so it will be ready to go. I just put a brand new speedo cable on it last year. I also will be including an authentic set of front and rear 1969 Michigan Licence plates which if you register and title her in Michigan, it will only cost you $30 for the rest of your life with no renewal fees.

There is quite a bit of money invested but I am realistic and I know I'll never get back what I have into it. My reserve is set at the bare minimum that I can bear to take and I will say it is very reasonable keeping in mind the drivetrain alone.

Upon winning, like I said I would like to have a $500 down payment within 24 hours. I will then buy a battery and it is a runner so I would be even willing to drive to meet you to drop it off but I can only go 75 miles from my location which is Holton, Mi 49425. However, if you are from a distant state and are going to need it shipped, I will work with any shipping company that you employ but you will be responsible for setting it up and paying for it. If my reserve is not met, I will contact the highest bidder and let them have a chance to make me an offer. If it is a reasonable offer and I accept it, I will relist it with the offer as a buy it now price so they may then confirm the purchase as I will not do anything against ebay rules buy trying to sell it outside of ebay. I did take a video of the truck starting and running. As I came around back, there was a little black smoke coming from the right bank. I set the camera down and filed both pipes as I cracked the throttle. Upon reviewing the video, I saw smoke coming out of both pipes. This appeared to me to be unburnt fuel because I have never done a tuneup nor have I ever adjusted the carburetor and I think its running rich. Lastly I would suggest adjusting the valve train. A few months ago I thought I did a good job because I got all the clack out of the rockers but every now and then it will tick for just a second. Here is the video:

Thank you again for taking the time to consider this diamond in the rough. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. Good luck and Happy Bidding!

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This 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...

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
