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) Check my feedback and bid with confidence!

Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
