Wow, this is the perfect barn find.  It is a 1935 Chevy pickup that was owned by one family since 1938!  Made in March 1935 at the Oakland plant the truck has been in Novato CA since 1938.  I have a copy of the original 1938 title, as well as a lot of original manuals and sales brochures. The truck is all here and there is absolutely no rust.  The wood in the truck is perfect!  Even the bed wood is fantastic, no rot anywhere.  If the bed wood is not original it is at least 40 years old...but it well may be original.  The first photo shows the building that the truck was removed from, first time in daylight since the early 90's.  


I have not started the truck but it turns over and has great compression.  It needs the carb done and the points cleaned up. Wiring is all good and is in great shape.  The seat was removed because it was really mouse eaten.  I do have the original seats...so the frames are here.  they are still covered with the original material etc.   It looks to me like the gent who sold me the truck removed some of the original wood base...I'm going to see if I can get it from him... When the seats came out the wood and floor under it looked just as good as the rest of the wood.  Doors are solid and close perfectly. Driver's window is perfect and rolls up and down beautifully, windshield is cracked, passenger window is gone but the mechanism is there and works fine.  I have 7 original wire wheels and 5 tires all mounted on the truck.  I have ordered a radiator cap and the patterns to remake all the glass in the truck.  

I worked for a couple of hours on the drivers side of the truck with some wet sanding and then waxing and you can see the results in the pics.  The truck has a perfect patina.  it would be a shame to restore it but would be perfect for a sympathetic restoration and would look great in the survivor class on the lawn at Pebble beach!  No rear bumper I'm afraid.  the front and rear fender on the passenger side are beat up buy there and repairable. 

The exhaust is not original and there is no muffler in the system.  I took the air cleaner off and looked into the carb and forgot to put it back before the pics.  This truck is an amazing find.  The paperwork has all been done and I have a new CA title that makes it completely legal. 

The brakes are weak but they are functioning.  I hate to sell her but dont' have the time to put into bringing the truck back to life.

Chevy Gives World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner A Recalled Truck

Thu, Oct 30 2014

Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
