Here is a 1954 Chevy truck project that has been sitting under a local farmers hay shed for the past seven years. The PO drove the truck for a while with the original 235 but then had a Camaro front clip and rearend installed. He ordered a truck-load of new parts for it but lost interest and never touched it again. The truck has new floorboards and needs no body work except for sanding minor surface rust from sitting all these years. The wood bed was replaced with a sheet of metal and is in very good condition. The bed sides and top look as straight as new and the tailgate appears to be original with not a single dent. The truck supposedly belonged to an elderly couple about 20 miles from my home and I was told that it was seldom driven. The SC title shows 12,705 and is stamped "actual mileage. The dash is all original and still has the factory radio and gauges with no dings, extra holes or dents. The seat is missing but the seat frame is excellent. Here is a list of the new parts, still in cartons from Brothers Trucks. wiper blades, snap-in 9.5", black door panels, door panel screw set, door panel steel frames, outside door handles, interior door handles, interior window handles w/washers, black 2 pc. headliner with retainer and screw set, green side window glass, left & rt., green vent glass left & rt., window channel set, vent window seal set with rivets & setting tool, cab windlace rubber, mirror set-ribbed chrome, mirror arms w/screws & gaskets, inside rear view mirror, new hood emblems, pair black sunvisors, new green tinted windshield, new left & right side running boards, lower cab seals. This may not be a complete list of the new parts as I have not looked through all the boxes. One invoice shows cost of $755.66 not including the new windshield, back glass, running boards or the sunvisors. The running boards and windshield would be approx another $800. with shipping costs. The hood latch panel and radiator are in the back of the truck and appear to be in excellent condition. The radiator support is in place under the hood. The PO kept a record of expenses which includes parts of about $1600, body shop labor $2675, front clip and rear end with labor $2100. This truck is very solid and ready to be taken to the next level. It is for sale locally and this auction may end at any time. High bidder must deposit $500. into my paypal account within 48 hours of end of auction. Balance of payment must be made in cash at time truck is picked up. Thanks for looking and bidding.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
