If you like this body style and are looking for a good original truck to just drive and enjoy then look no farther, I absolutely love driving this truck, hate to sale but have a family so the funds are more important than me grinning behind the wheel of this classic. It's lean, mean, and clean. Sitting under the hood of this classic Chevrolet is a powerful number matching 350 cubic inch V-8 engine that is mated to a turbo 400 automatic transmission. All lights, blinkers, horn, wipers, etc work as they should. The interior is a great mix of vintage and new. If that is true, Junkyard Life surmises that they must have had a terrible sales team in the truck department. Amazing what some soap, elbow grease and determination can do to a junky ride.
Things seem to work out for Keith because he treats people respectfully and often goes out of his way to do things for people in need. This Ruby Red runner is a great driver and ready for the next local cruise-in or show. Sometimes things just work right. This truck is currently insured, plated and registered to me, Georgia is a non title State on pre 1985 vehicles, but this comes with all documentation such as a notarized bill of sale, registration and insurance info which will allow you to obtain a title or any other documentation needed to plate it in your state. The tilt wheel is not worn out, the original radio plays good, the clock still works, the heat works good, the ac compressor was removed when it went bad and never replaced.
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch Junkyard Life staffer Keith Lively hauled the treasure truck home. He strapped a small fuel jug to the grill, routed the fuel pump lines, checked fluids looked great , added a hot battery and cranked that baby right up! Under the hood is the 350 cubic-inch V8. He feeds his passion for dilapidated Detroit iron by writing, photographing and sharing his adventures. The orange bed shines after layers of surface rust and grime are removed. Plus, you get the right truck features like a gun rack and a sliding rear window for the old-school truck breezes. Wheels are getting a makeover. I will accept payment through Paypal if you want to pay half of the fee otherwise I will accept Cash, postal money orders or personal check once cleared.
Description for Chevrolet C-10 1976 Up for sale is my 1976 Chevrolet Big 10 Scottsdale Bonanza edition, I am the second owner of this truck, This truck has been Garage kept and well taken care of it's entire life. Now factor in the set of Rally wheels, power steering and analog gauges to go with that eye popping exterior. I sell my junk to pay for more car parts and food for the family. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. Scottsdale was a trim level above the base model Chevy trucks. This truck is basically a time capsule and has been well maintained since day 1. Heat only, no air, manual brakes.
It seems we here at Junkyard Life have gone a bit C-10 crazy. It runs quiet and appears as balanced today as it did in 1976. Well, fifteen minutes after being unloaded, it was running again. Stripes that once appeared over the tops of the front and rear fenders have disappeared. It is a Long wheelbase which drives smoother and hauls more.
But we would have thought it was considering the odd combination of options. This Chevy has all the right features to work and play just as hard as you do. Seat belts work fine, original jack still in place, still have the owners manual. Oh, and don't forget the bullet hole in the hood. New paint and some trim rings are on the parts list. It starts with the tan on the door panels and dash that also have the classic wood-like trim. But take some time to look at this package as a whole.
The tilt wheel is not worn out, the original radio plays good, the clock still works, the heat works good, the ac compressor was removed when it went bad and never replaced. I will accept payment through Paypal if you want to pay half of the fee otherwise I will accept Cash, postal money orders or personal check once cleared. But wait, what did we find in the glovebox?. Thanks for viewing my auction. If the consistent waves and thumbs-ups from passing drivers doesn't make you smirk, the rumble of the exhaust alone, will.
Before the cleanup began this was a down and dirty truck. Junkyard Life staffer Keith Lively is that nice guy you know who makes friends with ease. Red panties, Mardi Gras beads and a hotel matchbook. Oddly it is optioned with a Quadra-jet topped 350, a manual three-speed transmission, manual brakes, no air conditioning and a 3. We can only image it's a great story.
This is by definition a 1976 Chevrolet Scottsdale, short wheel base, stepside dressed in Tangier Orange and accented with a sporty white stripe package. So it feels even more impressive when you see it has been upgraded to a full Classic Instruments setup with a large speedo and tach. Maybe, that's why the wife wanted to get rid of the old truck? Stripes all around even on the tailgate of the 1976 Chevy Sport truck. It happened at a bar is all we were told. Good tires, Good brakes, rear cab light works, everything pretty much works as it left the factory in 1976.
I have a video of this truck driving down the road at speeds at 70 mph running smooth that I can send you if you would like to see it, ebay doesn't allow me to post it here. A really odd-optioned, one-owner refugee from the best our opinion era ever! The original owner reported that the truck sat on the lot of Sutherlin Chevrolet in Pell City, Alabama for six months. Remember the inoperable status and how the original owner just wanted to see it run again? Getting some respectable rubber under those fat rear fenders is a top priority. The factory style rally wheels are wrapped in radial tires, which give the truck a very muscular stance. I am placing a low fair reserve on the truck below what I feel the truck is worth.
