The paint job was done about 6 years ago, prior to me buying it.  It is a PPG two stage paint, but not a show paint job.  As I said, I drive the truck every day, so it has a scratch here and there.  However, the truck is from the desert, and not a rust bucket.  The guy I bought the truck from, bought it from the original owner, who had bought it at the local dealership.  The truck was not driven a ton as the 142,000 are original, and this town was out in the middle of nowhere.  I bought it due to the fact it had not been cut-up, and all of the original stuff was there.  When we pulled the motor to rebuild it, we could not believe all of the original parts down to the 1968 water pump and alternator made it all those years.  The truck is not perfect, but turns a lot of heads, and very close to all original.  If I were able to keep the truck, I would probably have the paint color sanded and rebuild the front suspension.  The truck drives great, but everything else on the truck is new.  I am selling as I bought a new truck to drive every day, and I have a couple of other classic cars.  I need to pull a trailer sometimes, and I do not want to destroy this truck.  I would not be afraid to drive this truck across country, it is very dependable.  The engine rebuild was done about 6k miles ago, by a very reputable local engine rebuilder.  The 327 and original quadrajet purrs like a kitten.  I put a new master cylinder on it, but had the original rebuilt that comes with it.  It has a custom fit cover that comes with it also.  I have title in hand, and a binder full of receipts the new owner can have.

Please contact me with questions, and feel free to see the truck in person.

As with all 45 year old cars, there is no warranty, and buyer buys as is, and responsible for shipping.  (although I will help if needed to be at a terminal, etc.)

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
