Lambrecht Auction Purchase

[68LambrechtC10]

Hello all.....

I'm new to the forum and found you by doing a lot of internet searching yesterday while watching the Lambrecht Chevrolet Live Auction.

I won the high bid for a 1968 C10 Longbed Pick-Up, miles unknown.
This is not my first Chevy. I've owned a 69 Blazer, 72 Blazer, 76 Blazer, 95 Diesel Suburban, 98 3500 Dually, 2012 Tahoe.....(short list).

I pre-bid on it with a maximum bid of $2,100 (the price I won it for) and was actually on the road when the auction happened. Wish I could have seen it in person, or online for that matter.

The reason I bid on it was totally by chance. I knew I wanted a mid 60's pickup and this one just 'spoke to me'. I did a VIN search on it and it originally came with a L6 so someone added the V8... :-)
Lots of unanswered questions that I will know better when I see it and drag it onto the trailer.

My reasoning for buying this 1968 C10 is this. Millions worldwide knew about it and heard about it and googled it. It was the topic of conversation everywhere I went. I couldn't be there personally, but really wanted something from it. 10,000 people showed up, 3,800 registered to pre-bid, 500 cars sold in a historical auction, and I own one....

Not the prettiest, not for low miles, just because....

I'm flying to Omaha on Friday and picking it up to bring to Maryland.
