This is a restored with love 1978 classic chevy stepside that I call BUCK THE TRUCK after a deer theme. I decided a year ago I wanted a daily driver real truck. I had 2 new vehicles that broke down for reasons as little as the gas cap wasn't tight. So I decided to build my own reliable classic. I started a search for a perfect chassis. I found and had shipped to me a great K-10 it has a no frills 350 that when I purchased last year the motor had been rebuilt with 1000 miles on it and I haven't put more than a hundred since so you'll get a engine that will start every time and has such a wonderful sound as it runs. So no need to do any engine work. It has a cast iron transfer case so again the most desirable durable case. Next look at the number of springs on the rear end and you'll understand the extra hauling ability. So I started with a wonderful truck. I then took the truck completely apart and repaired any areas of rust. Not with bondo I replaced a few rust areas with new metal. So now I knew I wouldn't need to worry about rust for years. Then I primed and painted the truck with a single stage paint this is not a showroom paint job it has some orange peal a bit and a few scratches that I did oops but I wanted a daily driver. I spent a fortune as you can see with the camo accents. I also stripped the inside it had no rust problems there but I had to see before I put new carpet in it. The seat needed some help so I put in a slider on the driver side and some new springs then had it professionally covered with a mix between a tan vinyl and the center was made of actual tanned cow hide the back and sides of the seats were done in camo. The inside of the cab was painted black. The rubber was all replaced in the windows but the rear glass leaks a little so it needs to be replaced or repaired. I may even do that before it sells if I get to it The door panels were custom built with 2 sets of new speakers and the armrest are made of real oak hardwood. The dash was covered in real tanned cowhide. So fading shouldn't be a problem as my wife informed me she has never seen a faded cow lol. But for a modern touch I mounted a brand new gps built into the dash. With the theme of deer I custom made a 4wheel shifter made from the antler base of a real deer. The gas gauge doesn't work and the heater fan has been put on a toggle switch to fix the fan switch. The tires are a mixed set of 33-12.5-15. There is some dry rot on the tires but they hold air and drive fine. They are an all terrain tire that I had plans on replacing with mud terrains. The front brush guard has 2 brand new fog light that are toggled inside. The rims are in pretty good shape the pics won't due them justice cause I've never cleaned them lol. The tailgate is the old style chain with new chains. Everything works perfect with the tailgate. The bed was completely redone with new hardwood and what a great look it is. The deer print on the cab wall of the bed has two bed lights that shine in the bed with the dome light. It has a heavy tow hitch with a drop down with ball and also pictures shows the antler hitch cover that comes with it. The bed sides where completely painted but I decided the Crome overlays looked too good to not add. I have way more money and labor than I'll ever see but money is tight and I have to pay some bills so I can start a new project. But I won't give it away. So if your wanting a real truck one that starts and runs great and can be worked on with ease this is the truck for you. You could always start from scratch but you will be surprised how much money and time it takes and realize how cool it is that this one is ready to drive without doing a thing. It just passed a Missouri inspection. The winning bidder will need to pay a 500 dollar non refundable deposit within 24 hours of the auctions end and the balance within 5 days. I won't ship so pick up her or winning bidder will have to have a curb side shipper to Sullivan Missouri. I've had several shipped that and they all went great. Good luck also duel tanks with duel exhaust

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015
Thu, Jan 14 2016According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.
