100% Complete, solid, rare project with tons of very hard to find parts.
I pulled this truck out a barn in the Texas desert about 3 years ago and brought it with me to sunny SoCal. It is incredibly solid! Some small areas of rust on the running boards, and a couple spots on the fenders, but that's it. Dry and straight. AND a beautiful set of OEM front fenders goes with it! This is a very straight forward project. I just am backed up with unfinished projects at the moment, so I've decided to find good homes for a couple of them. I'll be listing a '41 Pontiac Streamliner Coupe in the next day or so. If you're anything like me, you know how hard it is to pass up a cool car that you can save! :) Please read the entire description, because this project is special.
I prefer stock vehicles, especially models that typically get beat up or chopped like trucks. You just don't see originals that often anymore. So, my intention was to do a 100 point resto on this one. I've spent the last 2 years gathering OEM and NOS parts to complete this project and make it the finest of the fine. As I said, the body on this truck is great for its age. Rear fenders will need some work, but are useable. Front are too, but I found a nicer original set of fenders that are included in the auction. The hood is workable, but is bent at the tip. Previous owner sprayed it in grey primer before it was put in the barn. Original 216 Stovebolt straight 6, 3 speed trans. Truck was originally Export Blue. Really beautiful color when combined with the red and blue accent stripes on the chrome and chevy bowties.

No brakes, but it stops with the transmission. I do NOT have a title for this vehicle. It will be sold on a BILL OF SALE. Shipping is entirely the responsibility of the winner. I will help load. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS! Make sure you have your funds in place BEFORE you make an offer. Once your offer is accepted, it's yours.

The truck MUST be picked up within 3 weeks of the auction's close, as I have little space to store it. Best of luck!

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
