Here's a very nice example of a 1947 chevy thriftmaster pickup. 1st year of new Body style. This truck was aquired through the estate of a Ohio Gentleman, it sat in his Barn for approx. 4 years. It came with a photo album of the restoration process. It has been restored and there has been body work done, which is not perfect but very presentible. Mechanicals look to have been completely gone through, Gas tank, exhaust, brakes, clutch int. etc.. It has a 4 speed trans. Comes with original radio. I believe it has its original 6 volt system, but some has changed the coil and points over to 12 volts. Its starts right up and drives runs and stops, no engine smoke is present. Has new wood in truck bed. I believe I would change the voltage back over to 6 volt or complete the 12 volt switch. I hav'nt drove the truck alot But having driven it a few miles I would think the drum brakes should be adjusted to make it stop better. It is a nice truck, that has been restored by previous owner but is a nice example of a truck of this error. Also the door will need adjusted so they close all the way they seem to not want to latch but The do shut with the door being locked, and the drivers side window needs the regulator adjusted or replaced, it rolls up then drifts back down about 6 inches. there is a replacement regulator with the truck. Truck comes with clear Ohio title. Has a new or rebuilt set of gauges. I don't know the history of the truck coming from an estate and being as old as it is It is being sold as is, please ask questions with this in mind. I may consider buy now offers or trade or partial trade , but would rather sell for cash. Buyer pays 1000 deposit through paypal in 24 hrs. Final payment in certified funds in 5 days. Truck located in Kingsville Ohio 44048, Right off I-90 transport assesible. Pick up in 30 days.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A 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?
Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want 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.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
