1971 Chevy Cheyenne Pickup 61,000 Miles. Barn Kept In Arkansas on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:61555
Location:

 You are bidding on a super-cool 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne pickup. I am the second owner of this truck that was bought new from Lacy Harris Chevrolet in Ashdown, Arkansas (I still live 20 miles from Ashdown!). I have owned this truck for about 13 years. I bought this truck with 40,000 on it and actually used it as a hunting truck. It ran SO strong with its 350 Quadrajet set-up, I pulled a camper with it. I never did much with it, and then one day two years ago I wanted to restore this beautiful old truck. It had some wear and I did not want to spend millions of dollars on a frame-off restoration, so I began to do it pretty much myself. Other than having a local college Collision Repair class repaint it inside and out (a pretty cool job...not perfect...but really nice!) I have done the rest. Since the motor and transmission needed nothing, I have performed to the following on this PERFECTLY running truck:

All new chrome (go price this!...expensive)
All new hoses, belts, vacuum system
All new heating system (interior vacuum, feeder hoses, etc.)
All new dash pad, sill plates, etc.
All new period-perfect radial tires
All new Quadrajet carb rebuild (idles forever...try that with a Quadrajunk!)
All new roll-in bed liner
All new transmission service (shifts out perfectly)

And I bet I have missed some things.

I want to stress this is NOT A PERFECT TRUCK, but I can tell you where there was minor surface rust (minimal) on the fenders, doors, and inner fenders, I had it either REPLACED with new metal or metal patch. No filler here. Get out your magnet and check if you would like!

Here are the things I wanted to fix, but decided to sell instead:

Needs new or better steering wheel
Needs new seat cover
Needs windshield
Needs shocks
Needs armrests

As you can see, not a whole lot to make this a really cool truck. A show winner? I don't know about that, but this is a no-nonsense cool Arkansas truck. In fact, I feel so good about it, you can drive it home...no matter where you are from. No kidding. This puppy runs great.

Ask all the questions you want or call me at 870-582-2192. I will be happy to be up-front with you about anything. I have been keeping this truck under my shed for two years now, and it is time to go!

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
