I am selling my beloved 1966 Chevrolet (long-wheel base) big back window pickup.  This is all original and as clean as I have seen.  I bought this pickup in Dalton, GA in January, 2011.  At the time I talked to the previous owner's daughter about the pickup.  The pickup was ordered and bought new in June, 1966 by the Harley Davidson Corporation for the Farrows dealership in Columbus, Ohio.  There it sat in the dealership with new motorcycles displayed in the back of the pickup for nearly 30 years.  The wooden bed is still original and has a stamp of when the wood was milled.  In approximately 1995, her father who worked for Harley Davidson retired and either was given the pickup or was able to buy it at that time.  Due to his death, was when I was given opportunity to buy it.  I have put approximately 300 miles on it since January, 2011.  I have always kept it under cover in my climate controled garage which also has a dehumidifier.  I have never driven it in the rain.  I have been meticulous on maintenance.  Other than oil and lubes there has been only some engine seals replaced since I have owned it.  It always cranks right up and drives like new even after sitting a month.  It was repainted once in its original Cardinal red paint in the early 1990's.  The color to me is so beautiful.  The chrome shines like it is brand new.  The wheels and tires are not original but look very nice.  The interior is all original with radio and original cloth seat that is in immaculate condition.  It does have power steering.  I have included a picture of where the pickup has had the "Ziebart" process before being picked up at the dealership when new.  It is a process where small holes were drilled and then an undercoating was sprayed into the inside of the steel body panels to help prevent rust from occuring especially in the northern states.  Everything works and the pickup runs and drives like new.  I don't want to sell, but I must due to a death in my family.  My reserve is reasonable for the quality and originality of the pickup.

 

Please no foreign transactions and no trades.  A payment of 10% must be put down immediately upon the ending of the auction through Paypal.  The full amount must be paid by money order or cashier's check within 72 hours of the end of auction.

 

Thanks!  And Happy Bidding!!!  I will answer all questions as timely as possible.  Bill

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

GM says its electric pickup truck is 'in development'

Thu, Jun 6 2019

GM President Mark Reuss just reiterated the company's support for an electric pickup project. He also claimed that GM is going to be selling its future electric cars at "very average transaction prices" during the same conference with Wall Street analysts. Previously, Mary Barra informed the world of GM's electric pickup truck aspirations, but didn't tell us anything else. Reuss says the truck is already in development, though, according to a Wards Auto report. "We will have a complete electric lineup, including a pickup truck that's in development," Reuss said. This comment marks the second time GM has gone on the record about its intentions to bring an electric pickup to market. Additionally, Reuss said GM's third-generation global EV platform will be used to help develop the electric pickup. This platform was recently announced to underpin at least 20 new EVs from GM in the future — the platform itself is slated to be unveiled in 2021. Of course, this platform will be flexible and modular to allow various body styles to be used with it, a truck being one of those. Reuss still hasn't said what GM brand the pickup will be sold under, or what class of truck it will be. GM thinks this new platform is also going to be what helps it drive down the cost of building EVs. "We'll reach parity a lot sooner than people think," Reuss said comparing EVs to traditional gas-powered engines. "We're driving down the cost of batteries and the whole EV in general." As for electric pickups, Ford is also deep in development of its own electric F-150. However, neither of these truck projects have official timelines on them, so we can't say when they'll hit the market. For now, the cross-town rivals are both in development with their respective electric pickups. Even further across town is Rivian (in which Ford just invested half a billion dollars), a company that says its electric R1T pickup is right around the corner, with the official due date being end of 2020 for the time being.

GM posts $4 billion third-quarter profit thanks to trucks and SUVs

Thu, Nov 5 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is posting huge third quarter numbers, pulling in $4 billion in profit over three months after losing money due to the virus outbreak. GM's adjusted earnings were $2.83 per share, easily outpacing Wall Street's per-share projections of $1.43, according to a survey by FactSet. Revenue of $35.5 billion also edged out most expectations. Shares jumped almost 6% before the opening bell Thursday. The company swung back from a $806 million loss in the second quarter, when it was restarting factories shuttered for safety during the early stages of the pandemic. The Detroit automaker joined most global automakers in reporting better-than-expected earnings from July through September as sales across the globe started to rebound from coronavirus lockdowns, especially in China. GM sales in China jumped 12% in the third quarter, with sales of its Buick and Cadillac brands both rising more than 25%. In the U.S., GMÂ’s most profitable market, sales fell 9.9% in the third quarter compared with a year ago, but were a dramatic improvement over the 34% drop in the second quarter. Sales improved sequentially each month, the automaker said, an encouraging trend. GMÂ’s profit was boosted by higher-priced pickup trucks and large SUVs, which have seen strong sales in the U.S. through the pandemic. It was the best quarter on record for GM's Chevrolet Blazer. Sales of the Cadillac XT6 spiked 45% in the U.S. over last year. Large pickups also sold well. GM also said it was pumping $2 billion into its Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing plant to push its transition to produce electric vehicles. Last week, crosstown rivals Fiat Chrysler and Ford reported strong third-quarter net income. FCA said it made $1.4 billion for the period, while Ford earned $2.39 billion.
