1956 Chevrolet Pick Up on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States
|
1956 Step Side Chevrolet 3200 Pick up-with a few added safety up grades Mr. Moore purchased this truck new from Fred Fletcher Chevrolet in Dublin, Texas on February 27th, 1956. It stayed in his barn during his ownership and was his work truck. He took excellent care of it. Upon his passing, 45 years later, almost to the day of his purchase, in February 2001, I purchased the truck from his estate. They
are only this original once. This truck defines the word "patina" and any museum would love it! So few excellent originals exist anymore, let alone
in turquoise, with original paint, 235 engine, 3 speed column transmission,
interior, with original leather tailgate covered chains and…well, the list is
endless. I drove it a bit and wanted to drive it more, so I had directional signals,
seat belts and even an A/C unit (installed, but never hooked up) installed. I also replaced the oak in the bed;
otherwise, this is a truck your grandfather would have been proud of! I did not detail the interior or under the hood for the photos, but it is all very nice. The door panels are metal and there is surface rust in the cabin on the original tailgate and on the side steps. I believe the miles are original. The truck has never been in an accident and the normal places of rust on these old gems, like the cab corners, just isn't there. Pull this truck into Home Depot and you will immediately be surrounded. Vintage trucks are increasing in value. This is one of the most original 1956 Chevrolet 3200 step side trucks you will find. Anyone can restore them, but the value in this truck is it's ownership lineage and its condition. As the story goes, Mr. Moore had a lifelong dream to drive this truck from his home in Texas to Alaska, a dream he accomplished and he memorialized the trip with an “ALASKA” sticker in the real window. I just couldn’t remove it. The truck starts, runs and drives well. It has two dents (photos), that I think can easily be fixed without disruption to the paint. i can't imagine the blow that might have caused those dents! I have envelopes filled with Mr. Moore’s license receipts dating back decades. When I registered it in my name, I kept a copy of the original title, which you will own if you are the successful bidder. This is a perfect addition to any vintage truck collection. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. If you are new to eBay and have no feedback, please email me before bidding. I reserve the right to cancel any bids, or to sell this item before the listing ends. This truck is being sold absolutely in as is condition. I will assist in loading the car for transportation. A $2,000 PayPal deposit is expected within 48 hours of the close of this auction. Upon receipt and deposit of remainder, I will then mail the clear title to you. Documentation and keys will be given to your transport company. I'm thinning the herd, so PLEASE SEE MY OTHER VINTAGE CARS LISTED NOW ON eBAY.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
