Very hard to find stock, unmolested Tangier Orange & Birch White - 350 / 4bbl, manual trans, gauge package, factory AM/FM radio, deluxe seat, molded door panels and headliner
This truck has an interesting background. It was a family heirloom that later became a father/son stock restoration project about 9 years ago. They did a 3/4 frame-off (except for the cab bare shell) full mechanical and cosmetic redo. The project took over 1-1/2 years of constant work and was almost completed when the father became suddenly ill and passed before it was completely finished. The son could not bear to complete their work or drive it anymore. Then it just sat…………………………………………………..until I rescued it. I bought the truck with the sole agreement I would finish it properly. His hope is that someone will appreciate the time, effort and commitment that he and his dad put into it. Please know I love these trucks, have restored and owned so many I could tell you where, what type, and size of any fastener on any part. Here is the list of systems of what has been addressed collectively to date.
Body: All parts were removed from the frame except
for the cab bare shell. The cab mounts and rockers were replaced. The underside
was hand-cleaned, treated with POR-15 then undercoated with Wurth professional
coating. The bed inside and top rails
were sanded and sprayed with Rhino liner, then top coated with matching factory
color. The inside of the bed floor and sides looks like it has never been used. The underside was also POR-15’d and
undercoated with Wurth. The truck was completely painted in the original
factory color by the dad and son while it was apart before reassembly.
Engine Rebuilt stock long block with Edelbrock Performer intake and Holley 650 with electric choke properly calibrated for this application. Dressed to look like a period correct Z-28 (optioned like it would have come that way) Transmission New flywheel, clutch assembly, pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, oil changed to synthetic, new u-joints Exhaust New complete aluminized factory style system with turbo mufflersCooling System New water pump, radiator, heater core, all hoses and clamps, coolant, heater box case restored Fuel System New gas tank, seat insulator, sender, lines, pump and added inline fuel filter, rebuilt carburetor Brakes Rebuilt master cylinder, new rear brakes and wheel cylinders, flushed entire brake system; new fluid. The left rear drum still wears the GM factory sticker. Wheels / Tires The correct reconditioned 8” GM rally’s with new radial tires. New chrome lug nuts, wheel alignment. New Monroe heavy duty shocks.Electrical New alternator, battery, battery cables, headlights, front and all side marker lenses are new as well as most all the bulbs have been replaced Interior Steering wheel is new reproduction correct GM Z-15 optional wheel, new floor mat, new headliner, the window regulators and locks have been cleaned and lubricated, the original AM/FM radio works well Bumpers The front is re-chromed and the rear is new
I have had many of these trucks and this
one is probably overall one of the cleanest, nicest driving stock examples I’ve
had in some time. When driving the steering wheel is straight, no rattles or
squeak’s, it shifts nice and the brake pedal is firm with very smooth stopping. Shown is an original GM Service manual, original dealers sales brochure and owners manual. This color combo is also my favorite. It is nice enough to take to the local cruise-ins but could just use as weekend family truck. All it needs is new owner that can appreciate what has been done and enjoy it! Bidders, bid with confidence! Look at my rating - 100%. I have
been a member here for many years. That didn’t happen by accident. I have that
because I’m an honest guy and very easy to deal with. I have completed almost
400 transactions where some of the dollar amounts were very high. International
Bidders
I have sold
and assisted with delivery of vehicles to countries outside of the US. There is
an inland shipping port near me as well as a sea port @60 miles further. I am
very experienced dealing with international buyers / shippers / delivery. Questions
If you would rather ask / discuss by phone instead of email, contact me
here and I will provide my number. Transporting If the winning bidder lives outside my area you could: 1) Rent a car and drive here then drive the truck back. There is an Enterprise car rental facility close by. 2) There is a major airport near me you could fly in and drive the truck home. 3) I have a great guy with a roll back who is very professional and courteous who can safely and reliably transport the truck to your home. His rates are competitive. 4) You send your own transport to pick it up. I will accommodate you with any of these as best as I can with my schedule.
Payment $1500.00 deposit by PayPal due immediately after auctions end. The balance to be paid by wire transfer - or - cash at pick up. With PayPal fees going into outer-space, I started using bank wire transfers some time ago and found them to be easier, the fees are almost nothing and safer than PayPal. Anyone who wants to bid and is not familiar with bank wire transfers contact me first and I will explain in detail; it's easy as pie!
Reserve Price Is very fair and under the current market. I am open to buy it now offers and reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks!
Bidders with no or low feedback scores Contact me first but know your bids will most likely be cancelled out.
On Apr-29-14 at 05:07:16 PDT, seller added the following information: Updated Payment Instructions To clarify the terms above: The balance is due within 48 hours of auctions close by wire transfer unless picking up in person and paying cash. If in person, the truck must be picked up within 7 days of auctions end. Thanks! On Apr-29-14 at 08:29:45 PDT, seller added the following information: ZERO / LOW Feedback Bidders Attention! I just cancelled a bidder with zero feedback who did not respond to repeated emails. I just took a $1000 loss on the current bid. Again to show I am an honest in this process I do not do 'ghost' bidding to drive the auction up - OR - allow people to bid with no history and do not respond to polite emails requesting clarification. Sorry - Thanks! |

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'
Mon, Mar 17 2014As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.
