Up for auction today is the perfect start to the rat rod / shop truck you've always wanted! this is a 1971 Chevrolet 1/2 ton (C10) long bed with 85k original miles and just the right amount of sunfade, bumps, and bruises to make it cool! This is a decent running original 350/th350 truck that's been my daily driver/ work truck for a while now, but due to an upcoming move I'm replacing it with a smaller more fuel efficient S10. mechanically this is a relatively sound truck, for reliability in the past six months i tuned it up (plugs, wires, cap, and rotor) and also installed a pertronix igniter II points conversion kit. when I first purchased the truck it had a slight bit of carb hesitation so I've swapped it with a well tuned replacement. the truck is going to need a u joint replaced in the near future as I've started to notice a little bit of squeak when backing up and the typical u-joint "clank" noise, I've not priced the u joints for this truck but typically your talking $10-20 plus an hour or so of labor. this truck is relatively solid underneath, it's eventually going to need new cab mount bushings (starting to dry rot and get mushy resulting in a sagging cab in the back), but has a real nice set of rear trailing arms (a typical rot point for the 67-72's.) Body wise make no mistakes this IS NOT a rust free Texas or Arizona truck, it does suffer from some of the typical 67-72 rot points, BUT for a local north eastern truck all it's life it is a fair bit more solid than ALOT of others I've looked at. it's going to need the typical cab corners and rockers (new full rockers will come with the truck!), the door bottom skins are solid but the bottoms are starting to get flakey. the bedsides are beautiful and 90 % of the floor is rust free, but it does have the typical half dollar sized holes in the rear floor near the stake pockets, and the one inch by six inch holes running parallel with the rear wheel wells... a rubber mat hides all of this! the tailgate when I purchased the truck was bowed beyond repair so I've replaced it with a used tailgate that will need some bottom work. it's got a real nice solid front clip, a nice grill, a driver quality surround, a solid firewall, cowl, and radiator support, and for the most part the floors are decent. it's has had some patch work where the kick panels meet the floor, the previous owner has just pop riveted some metal in place, it's not the best looking job, but it's functional. it's got relatively decent glass with the exception of the windshield that's starting to milk around the lower right edge. it's starting to suffer from the typical 67-72 rust around the rain gutter on the passenger side, but is still well salvageable without a much effort if it's addressed before it gets bad. the tires are fair for summer use but my plan was to buy new before the first snow hit. the interior leaves a bit to be desired, but I own a custom automotive upholstery shop... so I'm sure something can be negotiated with the winning bidder at auctions end, it's just kind of like what they say about the cobblers shoes, I spend all day fixing everyone else's so I've just never got around to fixing my own truck seat!. The truck has a good clear WV title in my name. this would make a great starting place for someone looking for a restoration project, it's a relatively unmolested original truck that still retains all it's original main components and sheet metal (minus the tailgate which came from another truck), it would be a great work truck for someone like me who loves to beat around in an old truck that feels like a truck ( you just cant beat the look and feel of an old Chevy for a daily driver!), or for someone looking for a 67-72 with that perfect shop truck look you shoot it with a mat clear to keep it intact, ditch the west coast mirrors, slam it to the ground over a set of large diameter coys and hands down you've got the coolest truck on the block!
if you have any questions please, please, please don't just assume, just ask! you can reach me via email or give me a call (304) 709-3997, ask for Phillip
now for the legal fine print to protect you and I; vehicle sold as is where is, buyer responsible for shipping (but I'll accommodate your shipper as best as I can) I've got a large parking lot at my shop (big enough semi's turn in it) just a few miles off I-79 in Clarksburg, Wv. A $500 non refundable deposit via paypal due within 48 hours of auctions end unless other arrangements are made prior to auctions end. I reserve the right to end the auction early if it has not yet met the reserve price ($1500), as vehicle is also for sale locally. vehicle needs to be paid for in full and picked up within 7 days of auctions end (unless other arrangements are made prior to auctions end, keep in mind I'm easy to get along with, so I'm sure if need be we can work something out!) no warranty is expressed or implied, it may run great for years or it may die it's first time out (doubtful, but it's an old used truck, you just never know) and I highly encourage anyone to come take a look and test drive it, I've bought two vehicles on ebay myself so I understand how much faith your putting in the words and a few pictures on a screen! Like I said, if you have any questions, just ask! Happy bidding!

Honda, Chevy reveal low-drag speedway aero for Indy 500
Sun, May 3 2015As the two automakers currently participating in the IndyCar Series, both Chevy and Honda were invited this year not only to provide engines to the teams on the starting grid, but to develop their own aerodynamics packages as well. Both revealed their designs for the road-course races a few months ago, but with the Indy 500 approaching at break-neck speed, they've now unleashed their aero approaches for speedways. Both are based on the Dallara DW12 chassis introduced to the series a couple of years ago, but sacrifice some of their downforce at the altar of speed. And you can tell as much from looking at them: both Honda (above) and Chevy (below) have streamlined their designs, with single-plane front wings, lower-profile rear wings and fewer winglets on the body and around the wheels in between. The idea is to allow the cars to reach higher top speeds with less drag, while offering the necessary amount of downforce for the banked turns. With the four opening road-course rounds complete, teams using either automaker's equipment will keep the existing aero kits on their cars for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the infield course next week, then switch to the speedway package for the Indianapolis 500 later this month. Then it'll be back and forth for the rest of the season as the circus switches between road courses and speedways. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Super Speedway Aero Kit Apr 30, 2015 - SPEEDWAY, Indiana - To be used at the Indianapolis 500 - Manufacturer seeking 11th Indianapolis 500 victory since 2004 - First public running to take place Sunday at Indianapolis Honda today debuted the "Super Speedway" aero kit of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use at this year's 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The Honda Super Speedway Aero Kit, produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes a variety of individual aerodynamic components fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis. All are intended to give Honda's six Indy car teams – encompassing a potential 17 '500' entrants - the ability to maximize performance at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and other large ovals ( over one mile in length) on the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule. "We're excited to unveil our Super Speedway aero kit, the newest element in this era of enhanced manufacturer competition in the Verizon IndyCar Series," said Art St. Cyr, president of HPD.
Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce
