1966 Chevrolet C 10: Unrestored Super Survivor - This truck is nearly 100% untouched, just as it left the Fremont CA assembly line in 1966 including: Factory turquoise paint, interior, bed, engine, transmission, etc. Odometer reads 8900 actual miles. Original owner claims even the tires had never been replaced!

Stored indoors since new, and used only lightly on a berry farm for a few years in the sixties, it was parked after its owner was forced to give up driving due to health issues. It then remained in the same garage/barn basically unused for nearly forty years. It was listed for sale on Ebay in December 2007 by the original owner.
