What you are bidding on is a 1949 Chevy 5 window Pickup Truck with disc brakes, power steering, 4 speed transmission and a 383 stroker motor that not only looks cool but also drives like a beast. This truck has more power than I know what to do with. I will do my best to describe this truck and please feel free to contact me at anytime for questions regarding the truck.
Interior:
The interior of the truck is mostly new. It has new custom black door panels, new custom black headliner, new black carpet with sound deadening material, etc. Also, new door glass and new windshield glass. The rear cab windows are original. The seats are all power seats taken from a BMW and I believe they have more than 7 different power mechanisms that make it pretty comfortable to sit in. The seats have little wear on the driverside, however no rips or tear and still very comfortable. The dash is intact and is not all cut up. It is still in very nice shape. The heater and dash lights do work. The speedometer does not work, however it has a pretty cool four gauge set up as you can see in the pics. Also the gas, brake and clutch pedals are really cool looking for the style of truck. The heater also works quite well.
Powertrain:
The motor is a very strong running 383 stroker motor with a four barrel Holly carb. The motor has less than 2K miles. It has a lot of power and quick response. The truck also has a very good/strong 4 speed transmission. The clutch is still very strong and has a lot of life. The exhaust is all new and it sounds very good and turns a lot of heads. With power steering and disc brakes this truck is a blast to drive. It also has electric fans and all the lights work. It has a Ford 9" rear end that is very strong.
Body:
The body is painted in satin black (aka Matte Black). The body is pretty straight and it has a great look. I wanted the same look as the truck that was in the First Expendables Movie (I know that was a Ford truck but it still looked really cool). The body may not be perfect but it is still in very good shape. This truck is a great California truck so no rust issues. The bed is a new oak bed with new chrome bed strips. The under side of the truck is in great shape as well and the floors are solid. The battery has been relocated to the underside of the truck and the engine bay is very clean. The rims are American Racing Torque Thrust II 17" rims with beefy tires. The rims and tires are in great shape as well.
I do hold the title and it is clear and registered currently. This is a California Truck. I also do reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Please feel free to contact me at 916-262-6971 via text or telephone call if you have any further questions or follow up. My reserve for this truck is low compared to how much money I have invested.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
