Missouri City, Texas, United States

We purchased this truck from a hot rod shop in Wisconsin. It was the owners personal shop truck that he created. We purchased it to advertise our company and it is has been very successful. This is not a show truck, but it could easily be one with very little work. We repainted the truck white and fixed everything that was wrong with it. The engine has been completely gone through. It is very fast and runs perfect and the belly burner exhaust is really a nice touch and gives off a really good sound. It is a real attention getter going down the road.

Pin stripping and vinly lettering can be easily removed, but I would leave the pin stripping. It is really well done! We have well over $15,000 invested in the truck as it sits. To our knowledge, the truck needs nothing. If we were to keep it, we would probably put a more custom interior in it, but it looks really good as is. We are starting the auction at a low price because I have no idea of its value. Hopefully, people who knows trucks will. 

I have no idea if the milage is correct. I am assuming it represents the milage once the truck was completed by the builder.

I will list what I know about the truck, but again I am not a collector, so my knowledge is limited.

* Sits on a S10 chevy frame
* 460 ford motor (do not know HP)
* belly burner exhaust 
* automatic
* chopped roof
* new paint
* custom interior and gauges
* air ride suspension that can be adjusted
* all new points plugs and wiring
* rebuilt 4 barrel carburetor
* title is in my hands and it is clear.

I have tried to present the car to the best of my ability and it is being sold as is. 

Thanks for taking the time to look at our truck and I will try to answer questions, but I am limited in my knowledge.


Forgot to say that it has a hitch hidden under the license plate. Plate is on a spring and it folds down.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
