Hello,

 

“Stinky” - MYBAD68 – The finest most Gorgeous Truck you will ever find!

 

OVER $35,000. INVESTED IN THIS BEAUTY!

 

Why the name “Stinky” you ask? I have a friend of mine who is a professional pin stripper and painter who hand paint the stripping and graphics you see on my truck, the name “Stinky” on the cowl hood, the” PEPE LE PEW” skunk on the tail gate and the dice by the door handles. When I first got the truck it had a gasoline smell that I just couldn’t seem to find or get rid of. I replaced everything I could think of even taking the custom Boyd gas tank down 3 times replacing everything, resealing everything but it still smelled like gasoline. My wife got in the habit of calling it “Stinky” and the name just stuck. I finally replaced all the fuel injected gas lines and pump with all new and that ended up being the problem, no more gas smell but he is still known as “stinky”! Hence the name “Stinky” on the custom cowl hood and the custom hand painted “PePe Le Pew” on the tail gate! I also had him add some custom dice to the outside of the 2 doors. All the hand painted items can be removed easily if the new owner doesn’t like them.

 

 Up for auction is “Stinky” my “BAD” 1968 Chevy customized 1/2 ton short bed pickup truck. It had a fresh complete frame off restoration just a couple of years ago. Everything has been replaced and up-graded. I have a large 3 ring binder showing the restoration project from start to finish. It is painted a BEAUTIFUL Corvette “Lemans” blue color and has tan leather folding bucket seats out of a new 2012 Odyssey and tan and brown leatherette interior, headliner and door panels. It has a 5.3L Vortex fuel injected engine with the matching automatic 460 transmission and all the computer hook ups that came out of a newer GMC truck with only 10,000 miles on it. It has a custom billet “TILT” steering wheel with matching color padding.  The truck has been lowered 2" in the front and 4" in the rear. It has new tires and “BOSS” mag rims with power disc brakes all the way around, the exterior has been shaved and smoothed and all the trim pieces have been removed. The bed area is just as beautiful as the exterior painted the same color with a rubber bed mat and even has a lockable safe in the bed for your valuables or guns, etc. I just finished putting in power windows and a Bulldog remote “TALKING” security alarm system. I also just installed a new flip touch screen DVD/CD AM/FM IPod stereo player that you can leave flipped out or hidden in the dash, with a hidden powered antenna. The stereo system has 6 speakers with an amplifier system. The underneath portion of this truck is also completed painted and finished off. Stinky has flow master forty series dual exhaust run to the rear of the truck with chrome tips, the sound is incredible! Stinky is really fast but yet gets great gas mileage with the newer vortex engine. It has a new custom cowl hood and all new instrument gauges by Auto-Meter, Pro-Comp, Ultralight. It has new Vintage air conditioning and heat with the vents cut and installed in the dash. Custom Billet instrument gauge bezel and matching Billet glove box door. I also just installed new Euro crystal headlights with 7” amber LED aux lights in the seal beam and a new BI-XENON HID kit for super neat brightness (these really look cool and do a great job lighting things up). I have new LED front amber indicator lights and all side lights have been shaved and recessed for a clean look. Truck has all the windows tinted with a chrome / billet rear view mirror with matching blue flames. It also has brand new swan neck chrome / billet hot rod outside door mirrors. Everything is finished and completed on this beauty!

Stinky also has hot jet coated headers and the engine compartment is fully painted and customized! I installed a on board battery charger/tender under the hood next to the battery and all you have to do to keep the battery fully charged is plug it in when  not in use.

It has a custom stainless steel 20 gallon Boyd gas tank located under the bed in the rear of the truck (no gas tank behind the seat for added room!).  The tires and wheels are 255 75R 18". It has power disc brakes, power steering, custom American wiring, everything you can image! Take a look at all the pictures and if you need more information or more pictures contact me.

This Gorgeous hotrod sits and stands like it should the outside profile looks fabulous - no disappointments!

 

Stinky has always been garage kept and been maintained by professional classic car mechanics. I have all the records and receipts for the things I have done. I have a clear title with no problems.

I have only entered it in one car show here locally and it took first place and I will include the trophy with the sale. It drives and handles like a beauty. The truck only had approximately 900 miles on the rebuild when I purchased it and it only has 1650 miles on it now as indicated by the odometer. Has a new steel bed painted the same color and a custom Gaylord fiberglass matching bed topper with underneath lights.

 

I have tried to list all the extra options and added parts but it literally has just about everything and I am sure I have missed a few things. No dings, scratches, dents rust or other problems. There are no disappointments with this truck, you will be extremely happy with it. This is a classic and extreme care has been taken to make sure it got the very best of everything however it is a 1968 that has been rebuilt and there is no warranty. When you buy it you will be buying it “as is”, “where is” and the buyer will be responsible for transportation and or pick up. I will expect a non-refundable deposit of $1,000.00 through PayPal or in cash or direct bank deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction. The remainder amount will be due within 5 working days and before the truck is picked up. I will only take cash or a direct bank deposit into my banking account for the balance.

The truck is available for inspection by calling me and making arrangements. The truck is also for sale here locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it does not reach the reserve price or it sells locally.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'

Mon, Mar 17 2014

As 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.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale.
