1955 Chevrolet pickup Truck StepSide, this great American Classic is ready for a new owner to take care of her. This Chevy Victory Red truck (55 original color) is ideal for the collectors out there. Is a rare find with spare tire on the right and not on the driver’s side view. Only few were made this way and it also has the much desired Vintage California plates that are good and current no need to smog.

This beauty has the bullet proof reliable 235 6-inline along with the heavy duty 4 speed transmission. This classic has been restored from ground up. Interior is in great condition. This truck runs and drives good for a 1955. It’s a 12 volt and the speedometer and cluster gauges work with custom lighting and indicators and cab under dash also has courtesy lighting. The Interior has decent custom upholstery and carpet! Stock bench seat also has a comfortable and nice pleated leather center console with cup holders that can be removed to make more sitting space! Has an original looking retro stock radio with hardware upgrade, so not only is it AM, but also FM and it has integrated aux to utilize with your mp3 player or phone and an integrated LCD that lights up behind stock looking AM Dial.

Has newer red oak wood bed with a Vintage Chevy picnic ice chest. All glass is in great shape some of it is new with seals and also some new door seals will be included ready to install. Door glass rolls up and down, vent windows and vents work, wipers work, blinkers break lights tail lights head lights and high beams all work! It still has the original engine, original transmission, original drum brakes, original REBUILT GENERATOR, original heater and air is in cab but not connected and original suspension with deleted leafs to bring it down and give it a cleaner more aggressive look.

Little things have been meticulously taken care of. Over all is great shape for the year it might need little details here and there if you’re a perfectionist. Paint is very presentable still shines when polished, but It's not perfect has minor chips and dings. Previous owner rebuilt the engine and did his own body work in the typical trouble spots like cab corners hood corners and rear fenders, etc. No noticeable rust or rot on frame, it looks very solid, and I UNDERCOATED it before putting the bed back onto the frame. I also found an owner’s manual in the glove box when I bought it from an old gentleman who stated he was the second owner.

I drive this truck locally almost every other day especially on weekends I go to the plaza or downtown and without a miss, every time, is an absolute Two thumbs up REAL HEAD TURNER!! Some people stop and take pictures.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General 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.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
