Kansas City, Missouri, United States

RARE 1949 CHEVROLET PANEL TRUCK! FULL GROUND UP RESTORATION NEARLY COMPLETED! VERY SOLID & STRAIGHT! REBUILT INLINE SIX! This Panel Truck has undergone a very lengthy restoration process. It began approximately five years ago and due to some unforeseen circumstances, she was stored away. Tucked away in a climate controlled garage, it wasn't until about two months ago that she was brought out of her cave. As you will see, an extensive amount of work, time, and money have been invested to get her to this point. In my opinion, she is about 90% done. All of the heavy work has been completed. I know that the previous owner had over $30,000 invested in to it. As she sits today, all she needs is some interior work, some trim pieces, some glass, and you could easily have a very nice classic on your hands. Body: The body on this Panel Truck was completely taken down to bare metal. Every bad piece of metal was cut away and replaced. From what I was told as well as what I have observed, this Panel Truck was relatively solid to begin with. She still retains much of her original sheet metal. The body and paint work were done professionally. The paint is two stage base coat clear coat. It has never been wet sanded or polished which as you will see, she still shines out beautifully. There are no spider webs, cracks, blisters, nor any other major paint blemishes. She is missing her front glass but she does come with her original rear glass for each door. Both pieces are in good shape. She is also missing some of her chrome moldings. The white walls that she sits on are new and they do not have more than 50 miles on them. The bed to the Pickup was completely redone when the body work was being completed. Engine & Mechanical: The Inline Six in this Pickup was completely tore down and professionally rebuilt. The same as the three speed manual transmission. Both do not leak and both do not have more than 50 miles on them since being installed. The Pickup has a rebuilt 10 bolt underneath it. All of the brake lines, fuel line, and suspension were all redone. Interior: The interior as you will see, still needs completed. Which someone with a big imagination could take it in many different directions.tainty that it is the only one of its kind. It has the best of all worlds, wrapped up in to one! These Panel Trucks are absolutely captivating when you see them in person and this one is no exception. If you've got a big family and want to enjoy the luxury of owning a classic, there is no better way to go than with these Panel Trucks. They seem to be one of the few investment grade vehicles that consistently hold as well as grow in value. With this one, you can take comfort in knowing that you'll be getting it at a fraction of what the previous owner had in it. For what we are asking, you couldn't come close to building it to where it sits today. I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the 49 early as we do have it for sale "locally". I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this 49. As always, good luck and happy bidding! Thanks, Shawn (816) 308-0351

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?
Sat, Sep 23 2017If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.
