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.

Any questions or concerns please contact me through EBay or call my cell number; 928-205-8238 (Terry)

This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet

Tue, May 9 2017

When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
