Classic 1968 Chevy 1/2 Ton Short Bed Truck - Frame Off Restoration, Show Winner on 2040-cars
Show Low, Arizona, United States
Hello, “Stinky” - MYBAD68 –
The finest most Gorgeous Truck you will ever find! Why the name “Stinky” you ask? I have a friend of mine who
is a professional pin stripper and painter who hand paint the stripping and graphics
you see on my truck, the name “Stinky” on the cowl hood, the” PEPE LE PEW”
skunk on the tail gate and the dice by the door handles. When I first got the
truck it had a gasoline smell that I just couldn’t seem to find or get rid of.
I replaced everything I could think of even taking the custom Boyd gas tank
down 3 times replacing everything, resealing everything but it still smelled
like gasoline. My wife got in the habit of calling it “Stinky” and the name
just stuck. I finally replaced all the fuel injected gas lines and pump with all
new and that ended up being the problem, no more gas smell but he is still
known as “stinky”! Hence the name “Stinky” on the custom cowl hood and the
custom hand painted “PePe Le Pew” on the tail gate! I also had him add some
custom dice to the outside of the 2 doors. All the hand painted items can be
removed easily if the new owner doesn’t like them. Up for auction is “Stinky” my “BAD” 1968 Chevy customized 1/2 ton short bed pickup truck. It had a fresh complete frame off restoration just a couple of years ago. Everything has been replaced and up-graded. I have a large 3 ring binder showing the restoration project from start to finish. It is painted a BEAUTIFUL Corvette “Lemans” blue color and has tan leather folding bucket seats out of a new 2012 Odyssey and tan and brown leatherette interior, headliner and door panels. It has a 5.3L Vortex fuel injected engine with the matching automatic 460 transmission and all the computer hook ups that came out of a newer GMC truck with only 10,000 miles on it. It has a custom billet “TILT” steering wheel with matching color padding. The truck has been lowered 2" in the front and 4" in the rear. It has new tires and “BOSS” mag rims with power disc brakes all the way around, the exterior has been shaved and smoothed and all the trim pieces have been removed. The bed area is just as beautiful as the exterior painted the same color with a rubber bed mat and even has a lockable safe in the bed for your valuables or guns, etc. I just finished putting in power windows and a Bulldog remote “TALKING” security alarm system. I also just installed a new flip touch screen DVD/CD AM/FM IPod stereo player that you can leave flipped out or hidden in the dash, with a hidden powered antenna. The stereo system has 6 speakers with an amplifier system. The underneath portion of this truck is also completed painted and finished off. Stinky has flow master forty series dual exhaust run to the rear of the truck with chrome tips, the sound is incredible! Stinky is really fast but yet gets great gas mileage with the newer vortex engine. It has a new custom cowl hood and all new instrument gauges by Auto-Meter, Pro-Comp, Ultralight. It has new Vintage air conditioning and heat with the vents cut and installed in the dash. Custom Billet instrument gauge bezel and matching Billet glove box door. I also just installed new Euro crystal headlights with 7” amber LED aux lights in the seal beam and a new BI-XENON HID kit for super neat brightness (these really look cool and do a great job lighting things up). I have new LED front amber indicator lights and all side lights have been shaved and recessed for a clean look. Truck has all the windows tinted with a chrome / billet rear view mirror with matching blue flames. It also has brand new swan neck chrome / billet hot rod outside door mirrors. Everything is finished and completed on this beauty! Stinky also has hot jet coated headers and the engine compartment is fully painted and customized! Stinky has always been garage kept and been maintained by
professional classic car mechanics. I have all the records and receipts for the
things I have done. I have a clear title with no problems. I have only entered it in one car show here locally and it
took first place and I will include the trophy with the sale. It drives and
handles like a beauty. The truck only had approximately 900 miles on the
rebuild when I purchased it and it only has 1650 miles on it now as indicated
by the odometer. Has a new steel bed painted the same color and a custom
Gaylord fiberglass matching bed topper with underneath lights. I have tried to list all the extra options and added parts
but it literally has just about everything and I am sure I have missed a few
things. No dings, scratches, dents rust or other problems. There are no
disappointments with this truck, you will be extremely happy with it. This is a
classic and extreme care has been taken to make sure it got the very best of
everything however it is a 1968 that has been rebuilt and there is no warranty.
When you buy it you will be buying it “as is”, “where is” and the buyer will be
responsible for transportation and or pick up. I will expect a non-refundable
deposit of $1,000.00 through PayPal or in cash or direct bank deposit within 24
hours of the close of the auction. The remainder amount will be due within 5
working days and before the truck is picked up. I will only take cash or a
direct bank deposit into my banking account for the balance. The truck is available for inspection by calling me and
making arrangements. The truck is also for sale here locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it does not reach the reserve price or it sells locally. Any questions or concerns please contact me through EBay or call my cell number; 928-205-8238 (Terry)
Check my feedback and bid with confidence! On Mar-12-14 at 13:31:25 PDT, seller added the following information: Additional information; this truck has a Boyd Welding custom 20 gallon gas tank installed under the bed area in the rear. The tires and wheels are like brand new and are 255-75R-18". I have added some additional pictures. If you need any more pictures or information please contact me. |

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
