Meeker, Colorado, United States
|
A very Unique Truck history, basically a one owner truck bought new in 1972 in Oregon, and restored by same owner in 1995. Originally was a 400c.i big block ,it now sports a 1973 454 bored .040 over, RV cam with an Edelbrock intake and carb. The transmission is a Turbo 400 that drives a Dana 60 with 3:54 gears power lock rear end, and a 1976 Chevy front Diff with Warn hubs. The interior a very nice with cloth seats and deep pile carpet. The cab and bed have never seen a spot of rust. It was refinished with PPG in the White over Dark green Metallic that still looks great. The original owner was a very special kind of guy, he liked to tinker, and has added many extra things to the truck. Inside the cab he added ,low oil bypass switch, oil gauge, trans cooler fan, also a aux fuel tank switch, a trailer hitch, extra heater behind the seat, and a extra fuse panel that is for the 7 pin trailer wiring, tool box light, extra back up lights he added, 2 extra trailer batteries for the trailer wiring in the locking tool box, and there are several extra belts in there also ,. the truck bed is sprayed and has a rubber mat. He has a box of receipts for everything he added ,along with the manuals , also has the org. bill of sale , Chevrolet org. brochure, owners manual, and a note book of every oil change ,what type of oil used , transmission fluid, etc. ,he was pretty amazing guy. when he passed ,his son sold the truck to a classic car dealer in Oregon, that is where I bought it in 2012, I have only put about 30 miles on it, dove it in our small 4th. of July parade , and is store inside. , I have seen these Cheyenne Super's listed for anywhere from 18,000, to 28,000 on the Classic car sites ,that do not have near as much as this truck has and the care that has been taken. There are several other small things he did to the truck, switches the extra battery shut off switch, a special cable in the tool box that can be used to jump the truck or another vehicle, or hooked up to a winch . It runs great,look at the pictures , and call if you have questions. I just wanted a cool old truck when I bought ,but just don't drive it enough , and now want a restored jeep, we live in the Colorado mountains and would use that more. 970-778-7373.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king
Tue, Apr 21 2015The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
Just the right Camaro can change your life
Thu, Jan 22 2015Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

Trucks and tidbits from GM's earnings report
Wed, Feb 6 2019General Motors announced this morning that 2018 was a good year for it financially, thanks in large part to the company's performance in North America, which was predicated, according to the company, on "strong pricing, surging crossover sales, successful execution of the company's full-size truck launch, growth of GM Financial earnings, and disciplined cost control." GM reported full-year income of $8.1 billion and EBIT-adjusted income of $11.8 billion. Crossover sales in 2018 were 1,034,808, an increase of 7 percent compared to 2017 deliveries. Throw in the body-on-frame SUVs and the ute number is a total 1,295,700. But let's face it: It is the trucks that really matter. The Chevy Silverado and Colorado, the GMC Sierra and Canyon. Altogether, GM sold 973,463 pickups in the U.S. in 2018. Although Ford gets bragging rights for F-Series sales, GM gets to point out that it has a greater aggregate number. An important factor regarding the trucks and the reported income is that during the last quarter, more than 90 percent of the new 2019 trucks were crew cabs (which have a higher sticker), and at GMC more than 70 percent were Denali and AT4 models (which have even higher stickers). According to reporting by Bloomberg, GM's pickup trucks combine for $65 billion in annual revenue. Clearly when the 2018 sales of the Silverado — 585,581— dwarf the combined sales of both Buick (206,863) and Cadillac combined (154,702), pickups are what matter to the overall health of the company in a way that it is difficult to otherwise achieve. The "disciplined cost control" is something that is very much in the public eye right now, as the company is taking out thousands of its workers, and there is still the "unallocated" plant situation and other plants that will remain under capacity. The numbers in GM's earnings report probably made Unifor members' heads explode in consternation, coming fresh off their Super Bowl ad: " GM, you may have forgotten our generosity, but we'll never forget your greed." But there are a couple of curiosities in the full GM earnings release. One is that so far as its autonomous efforts go, it mentions only that (1) in the first quarter of 2018 Cruise introduced a production-ready autonomous vehicle, and (2) Cruise attracted $5 billion in external capital from SoftBank and Honda. Not a whole lot of love for autonomy. Good thing they have the trucks to fund the program, to say nothing of the external capital.
