Vehicle description
Up for auction is a 1960 Chevrolet C-10 pickup that has hada lot of restoration/customization work put into it. This was my father’s car, and one of many projectcars he left behind. I am selling it formy widowed mother. I have a little bit of knowledge of the work that went intoit, but unfortunately my father did not leave a detailed description of thework performed and overall condition. Therefore,I am providing a description of the truck to the best of my knowledge and havetried to include a lot of pictures. Ialso posted a video walkaround with the truck running at the following link: https:/ youtu.be/l-vJctNgQMY I do know that he took the truck down to the frame, removedall corrosion, and applied a corrosion-preventative coating (such as POR-15) tothe frame. The suspension/chassiscomponents look to be either refurbished or new aftermarket. I was told the engine came from a late-2000s CadillacEscalade. The transmission, from thebest I can tell, looks to be a 4L80E with a manual valvebody (in other words,it must be manually shifted). Here is a full disclosure of the condition of the truck to thebest of my knowledge: The tailgate says “CORVETTE” instead of “CHEVROLET” simply becausemy dad loved Corvettes. No other explanation, really. The body is in really good condition with no noticeabledings or scratches. The trim and badging look to be either refurbished or aftermarketnew. Aftermarket wheels and near-new tires. Equipped with power steering that works well. Doors and hood open and close well. The weatherstripping looks to be new. The headlights and taillights work. Turn signal lever works, but the turn signal lights do not. Windshield wipers work. Aftermarket tachometer. OBD2 port. Odometer doesn’t work so true mileage is unknown. There are functional coolant lines to the heater core, but Idon’t know if the internal components work (e.g. the blower motor, dash levers etc.) The truck is equipped with rear air bags. There is an aircompressor under the hood and a PVC air tank at the rear of the truck. I don’t know much about this system, otherthan it works and seems to inflate to the proper height after starting thetruck. It doesn’t appear the interior was fully finished before myfather passed away. The seats and carpetlook like they were installed temporarily until he had time to fully finish theinterior. For example, the seats are from a 1980s Corvette and were painted orange,and the carpet looks to be simply scraps of automotive carpet pieced togetherthat he may have had laying around. Thenew owner may want to put some additional work into the interior to improve theappearance. The engine starts after only a few seconds of cranking. Irecently pumped out the old gas, put some fresh gas in, and drove it around fora few miles and didn’t notice any hesitation, stalling, or other engine/drivetrainissues. I noticed there is light exhaust smoke until the engine iswarmed up to operating temperature. I’m not sure what kind of smoke it is, but Idon’t believe it’s oil or coolant (but I’m not 100% sure). My best guess is the smoke is from a richair/fuel mixture until it reaches operating temperature. The dual exhaust system exits in front of the rear wheels,except the right-side exhaust tip is missing. It’s currently just a hole exiting themuffler. The height of this truck puts some of the engine,suspension, transmission, exhaust, and various other components very close tothe ground. I’m not sure how much of anissue scraping and bumping would be during normal driving, but I thought it shouldbe mentioned as something a prospective buyer should be aware of. I noticed there were a few minor oil/fluid leaks that appearedafter I got it running. One of them looks to be from the rear differential, oneof them is near the engine (not sure if it’s transmission fluid, power steeringfluid, or engine oil). Since I don’t know enough about the overall mechanicalcondition of the engine/transmission to say with confidence that this could be drivena long distance, I would suggest the prospective buyer either pick it up viatruck/trailer or have it shipped. The truck is being sold as-is. I am not offering a warranty of any kind. Once the transaction is complete, the sale isfinal and I will not offer any refunds, so only serious buyers should place abid. In conclusion, I fully realize this truck is not in perfect condition. For this reason, I am not trying to get topdollar out of it and have set the reserve price at what I’ve been told is veryfair and reasonable. I am just wantingto quickly sell off some of my late father’s assets to get my mom some much-neededmoney so she can deal with some other pressing financial issues. The ideal buyer would be someone who wants a mostlycompleted truck they could put some additional work into to make it their own. Winning bid requires a $500 PayPal deposit within 48 hoursof auction end. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will do my bestto answer. Thank you for your interest!
