See it in action!
Looking for vintage, super cool and something no one else has? Offered for sale is a 1965 Chevy C-10 Fleetside LWB. V-8, 3-speed, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning with an original Pullman Camper. For Sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction early. This truck came from a collection in Oregon that was mainly ford vehicles with this chevy as an exception. The collection was bought by someone in Florida. He kept most of the fords and sold me the chevy. The truck was built in the Fremont California plant and what information I was able to track was that it was titled in California, Washington and Oregon. The odometer is showing 36k. I found a log book with entries in the high 90?s, from not all that long ago, so that would put it at 136k miles. I was told it had two owners before the collector bought it. This truck has a very unique camper built by Downey Sheet Metal Shop (California). The company made these campers in the 50?s and 60?s. I was told this camper has been with this truck since new. It has a 1964 serial number, on the camper, so that coincides. The camper is intact and everything works. It has the original canvas that is in excellent condition. The (double) roof slides back for shade and weather protection and none to three panels can be easily added. It does not have the original mattress or curtains as they all hit the dumpster immediately after I got it home. I ordered a new mattress and material and the bride made a mattress cover, pillow cover, sheet and matching curtains. The only thing else we did to the camper was makeup and replace the missing trim around the bed compartment doors and replace the shore power connection. The truck ran and drove great and solid ? tight and no rattles. It has a newer GM target (crate) 350 engine but had no other toys so we added the ps, pb and a/c here at our shop in Kissimmee. The a/c also incorporates a heater and defroster. The truck had original upholstery that was still all there but cracked in places so we reupholstered the seat. It has two additional fuel tanks mounted under the bed with a switching valve next to the driver. This was a repaint and it looks good. I had to spot in a couple places where it was ?keyed? on the left door and quarter. The outside mirrors were rusted and replaced. The only thing that does not work is the original radio. I replaced the speaker but the radio just crackles. I haven?t done anything with this as I assume a new owner will want something different. I have a local shop here that can repair the radio if you want original. This thing runs, steers, stops, and drives great. You will not be disappointed ? and it attracts a lot of attention. I have used this twice at dirt bike races in Florida, in the summer, and slept in the camper without needing any more than the side and back windows opened ? although I had a fan ready just in case. I have the tailgate ? I have no idea if it is the original one - I was told it was. It is straight as an arrow. Selling price is $14,900. I don?t think there is another truck quite like this available. If someone wanted the truck without the camper I would also consider that. Thanks for looking.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
2015 Chevrolet Trax
Thu, Dec 4 2014After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
