This truck is drop dead gorgeous. Completely restored in 2007. This truck has never been in the rain, always garaged (of course), and runs like a champ. I will do my best to describe everything so the winner knows exactly what they are buying. Once the reserve is met, high bidder owns it. If you have any questions or doubts, please ask or just do not bid. This is a beautiful preowned and 60+ year old vehicle. It is sold as is with no warranty implied.
The monster 454 that is crammed in there runs great and strong. Very easy starting and has a great low rumble through the exhaust. It is backed by a Turbo 400 automatic which has a very slow leak at the rear seal, I believe. It is slow and never bothered me because I was going to put a 4 speed auto in it anyway. Just never got around to it. The engine runs nice and cool in part by its two electric fans. The A/C runs ICE-cold and can handle this Florida heat with no problem. There have been many unique touches done to this truck which makes it look flat out cooler than any other out there. The most notable would be the flared fenders. It also has power steering and a parking brake which I've never used because it looks to me as the release mechanism has become disconnected or was never properly installed. As you can see in the photos, the firewall is nice and cleaned up in part because I removed the heater hoses. It looks better without them and I do not need them in Florida. Hook them back up if you like. The brake booster has been moved to under the driver's seat and the battery is moved under the passenger's seat. Boom. Clean firewall.
All the gauges work, but the speedometer is not accurate. All the lights work except the interior left turn blinker. The exterior lights function perfectly. But that one interior one does not. There is a master shut-off. There is an alarm in this truck that absolutely drove me nuts. I took out the blaring siren, but if you set the alarm off, the hazards still blink. It has an airbag-ride system up front so you can select your desired ride height. When you park the truck, you must have the wheels straight as they airbags are designed to leak out slowly over a couple of days. When I parked it for several days, I always put hard rubber blocks under the truck and released a lot of the air so the truck wouldn't lay on the ground and it released some of that pressure. Don't turn the wheels to sharply if you're riding low. It will rub. I usually ran it at about 80 lbs. That kept the wheels the most perpendicular to the ground. This truck has brand new tires all the way around. It has ORIGINAL Boyd Coddington junkyard dog wheels on this truck. You can't get them like this anymore. They were not offered in a chrome finish. The original owner had them chromed, but it is now starting to pit and flake off. I would HIGHLY recommend keeping these wheels and re-chroming them. That was my intention, anyway. The truck currently has 1 inch lowering blocks in the rear. It had 3 inch lowering blocks under there, but it rode a little rougher.
I drive this truck. About once or twice every two weeks. I drive it to work and I drive it to shows. Therefor, the paint is not perfect. There are numerous little chips and a couple of scratches. Some of the larger ones have been touched up. I think this is a testament to the reliability of how well this truck drives and performs. YOU CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE IT. By far the worst scratches are on the running boards, where apparently one of the previous owners thought it was OK to step on them getting in and out of the truck. Thankfully, I believe these running boards can be unbolted, re-shot, and bolted right back into place. That easy. Again, one of the things I planned on doing but never got around to it. Please be aware this vehicle has paint blemishes and is not perfect.
The interior is beautiful and simple. Dash is painted blue, steering wheel wrapped in blue leather, and blue leather seats. It has a radio but it not hooked up. It does have an iPod terminal which is hooked up and works great. The air bag toggles and gauges are located in the center console. None of the panels covered in black fabric are
permanently attached. This is to allow access to the airbag hoses and connectors should they ever need work. Mileage shows 8600 miles, but true milage is unknown. This vehicle does not look like it has been driven 8600 miles. There is wear on the leather that covers the seatbelt sleeve and a tear on it as well. The previous owner installed speakers in the kick panels and he ran speaker wire where the battery access panel is. Kinda the short way out, but it's OK. It's an awesome truck.

GM laying off more than 4,000 workers Monday morning
Sat, Feb 2 2019According to reports from Automotive News, The Detroit News, and CNN, General Motors plans to begin laying off more than 4,000 salaried workers starting Monday morning. In a statement to AN, a spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are not confirming timing. Our employees are our priority. We will communicate with them first." We've been expecting layoffs at General Motors since November, 2018. At the time, the Detroit-based automaker announced it would seek to shed 8,100 salaried employees, shut down five assembly plants in North America, and kill off several slow-selling models. One month earlier, GM offered buyout packages to 18,000 workers and said it would seek to cut its global workforce by 25 percent. A spokesperson said at the time the moves were "proactive steps to get ahead of the curve by accelerating our efforts to address overall business performance." The cost-cutting moves are expected to save GM up to $2.5 billion in 2019 and as much as $6 billion by 2020. David Kudla, CEO and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Capital Management, referred to the impending culling as "Black Monday" and told The Detroit News that the layoffs would begin around 7:30 a.m. and continue in waves throughout the coming days and weeks. GM plans to deliver on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 earnings report on Wednesday. President Donald Trump plans to deliver the annual State of the Union address a day earlier on Tuesday. We expect to hear plenty more from both sides over the next several days.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
