YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1955 CHEVROLET 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR IN PRETTY MUCH OFF THE FARM CONDITION. I PLANNED TO USE IT AROUND THE FARM AND MAKE A SUPPLY RUN NOW AND THEN. WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IT HAD A MISS ON NUMBER 5 CYLINDER, A LATE MODEL SEAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED AND A ROTTED OUT PIECE OF PLYWOOD WAS IN THE BED. I HAD A VALVE JOB PERFORMED AND REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK SINCE FALL LIKE THAT. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD THE LOWER END OF THE ENGINE OVERHAULED BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS JUST USING TO MUCH OIL. THE ENGINE HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AND RUNS GREAT. IT RUNS GREAT NOW AND HAS PLENTY OF POWER. I HAVE SPENT $4,300 JUST IN THE MOTOR. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ORIGINAL 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH THE SHIFT ON THE COLUMN. THE REAR END IS THE ORIGINAL GEARING AND HAS BEEN RESEALED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD GONE THROUGH THE BRAKES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE CABLES FOR PROPER OPERATION. I HAVE PURCHASED THE CORRECT SEAT AND HAD THE FRAME PAINTED AND RECOVERED. IT ADJUST AND LEANS FORWARD AS DESIGNED. I REPAINTED THE CAB AND THE FLOOR DID HAVE SOME RUST AND WAS FILLED AND PAINTED. ALL THE SEALS FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL, CLUTCH, SHIFTER AND SUCH HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NEW FIREWALL PAD AND FLOOR MAT INSTALLED. THIS IS NOT A FRAME OFF RESTORATION. I WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN A NICE SOLID TRUCK TO DRIVE. THE TAILGATE WAS MISSING, THE SIDE STEPS ON BED RUSTED OUT AND FRONT PANEL OF BED VERY BENT. I INSTALLED BOTH NEW SIDE STEPS, FRONT BED PANEL AND TAILGATE AND LIKED THE COLOR SO THE REST OF THE TRUCK WAS PAINTED A SATIN BLACK. THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY DARK GREEN AND THE FIREWALL AND RIMS ARE PAINTED DARK GREEN. I USED SOME OLD RECYCLED FLOOR BOARDS FOR THE BED. IT IS TONGE AND GROOVE AND IS HELD DOWN WITH CARRIAGE BOLTS. THE REST OF THE BODY PANELS WERE FILLED AND THE WORST OF THE DENTS SMOOTHED OUT SOME. FOR A SHOW TRUCK YOU WILL WANT TO REPLACE THE FENDERS AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. DON'T BRING A MAGNET. I KNOW THERE IS PUTTY. THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE SIDE WINDOW AND REAR WINDOW MAY BE ORIGINAL. THE TRUCK HAS A STANDARD HEATER AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR. THE DASH HAD BEEN CUT OUT FOR A MORE MODERN RADIO. A TRIM BEZEL HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND A STATE OF THE ART AM/FM RADIO. THE RADIO HAD A CD FEATURE BUT DOES NOT WORK. TWO SPEAKERS ARE MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH. I HAVE INSTALLED A TURN SIGNAL SWITCH ON THE COLUMN AND HAVE REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHTS AND FROM PARKING LIGHTS FOR SINGLE LIGHT TURN, PARKING AND BRAKE LIGHTS. ON THE OUTSIDE, THE LIGHTS APPEAR ORIGINAL. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 2,046 MILES BUT THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ODOMETER. I PURCHASED THE SPEEDOMETER USED LAST YEAR. ALL THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING THE DOME LIGHT. THE TWO FRONT TIRES ARE NEW BUT THE REAR TIRES ARE SOME OLDER SNOW TIRES THAT WERE ON THE TRUCK WHEN I GOT IT. THERE IS A JACK AND LUG WRENCH BEHIND THE SEAT BUT I DO NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE. I HAVE A RIM THAT HAS A LARGE HOLE RUSTED IN IT THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE. I DRIVE IT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK NOW AND THEN WHICH IS A 24 MILE ROUND TRIP AND IS A BALL TO DRIVE. I HAVE A BARN ON THE FARM THAT NEEDS MY IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND FUNDS SO I RELUCTANTLY OFFER THE TRUCK FOR SALE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE THE TRUCK AWAY BUT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I WILL BE HAPPY TO DELIVER THE TRUCK FREE FOR A 200 MILE RADIUS FROM FREDERICK, MARYLAND.

What if the mid-engine Corvette is really a Cadillac?
Tue, Jun 28 2016Call me crazy, but I'm not convinced the mid-engine Corvette is the next Corvette. The rumor is strong, yes. And, contrary to some of the comments on our site, Car and Driver - leader of the mid-engine Corvette speculation brigade - has a pretty good record predicting future models. But it's another comment that got me thinking: or maybe it's a Cadillac. There is clearly something mid-engine going on at GM, and I think it makes sense for the car to be a Cadillac. First off, check out how sweet the 2002 Cadillac Cien concept car still looks in the photo above. Second, there are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. There are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. The C7 is relatively young in Corvette years, starting production almost three years ago as a 2014 model. Showing a 2019 model at the 2018 North American International Auto Show would kill sales of a strong-selling car before its time. Not to mention it would only mean a short run for the Grand Sport, which was the best-selling version of the previous generation. More stuff doesn't add up. Mid-engine cars are, in general, more expensive. Moving the Vette upmarket leaves a void that the Camaro does not fill. There's not much overlap between Camaro and Corvette customers. Corvette owners are older and enjoy features like a big trunk that holds golf clubs. Mid-engine means less trunk space and alienating a happy, loyal buyer. Also, more than 60 years of history. The Corvette is an icon along the likes of the Porsche 911 and Ford Mustang. I'm not sure the car-buying public wants a Corvette that abandons all previous conventions. And big changes bring uncertainty - I don't think GM would make such a risky bet. Chevrolet could build a mid-engine ZR1, you might say, and keep the other Corvettes front-engine. Yes they could, and it would cost a ton of money. And they still need to fund development of that front-engine car. I highly doubt the corporate accountants would go for that. But a Cadillac? Totally. Cadillac is in the middle of a brand repositioning. GM is throwing money at this effort. A mid-engine halo car is the just the splash the brand needs to shake off the ghosts of Fleetwoods past. And it's already in Cadillac President Johan De Nysschen's playbook. He was in charge of Audi's North America arm when the R8 came out. A Caddy sports car priced above $100,000 isn't that unreasonable when you can already price a CTS-V in that range.
GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses
Thu, Apr 7 2016May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
