I bought this truck in 2010 on Ebay from a seller in Tennessee and had it trucked to Seattle. It was freshly restored and has accumulated 1300 miles since then. The VIN indicates that it was built in Atlanta in 1958.The following is a listing from the seller of what was included in the restoration. I have no reason to question anything he said.
- Chevy 350 rebuilt by Snakeman Automotive Machine Shop in Cleveland TN.
- Chrome: all new
- Glass: New windshield, rear window and side vents
- Electrical: New EZ wiring kit with modern fuse panel and high output 1 wire alternator.
- Weatherstripping and rubber: ;All new
- IDIDIT chrome tilt steering column.
- Custom Grant steering wheel
- Exhaust system: New dual exhaust system with aluminized pipes and new Flow Master muffler.
- Underside: Cleaned and painted but not to show quality.
- Exterior Paint: In the words of the restorer "You will not complain about the paint. It shines like a black diamond, has no dents or dings and is laser straight to look down the sides. We painted the truck with a high quality PPF base/clear coat paint. After paint we color sanded and buffed to a very high gloss. Most of the truck was media blasted, sealed and primed before paint."
- Guages: Shark by Dolphin.
- Seats: Leather and power
- A previous owner had reportedly installed a front clip from a 1984 Camaro. Disc brakes in front and drum in rear
The style of this RESTOMOD is clean and simple. All badges have been removed. The interior dashboard has been nicely clean and filled so there are no cut-outs for radio and heater. In fact, it had no heater or windshield wipers. I added a nice Raingear wiper unit with 2 speed intermittent delay. I also added a heater/windshield defroster. The controls ffor this were nicely positioned as shown in pictures. I also added proper side and rear view mirrors. At some point the original gas tank was removed from behind the seats and a new tank was relocated to the rear undercarriage. The filler is now on the truck bed. The truck does not have a parking brake.
Due to improper installation of the transmission by the restorer, I had it reconstructed to include a lock-up kit. It now has a cooler as well. Due to the cooler and heater/radiator hoses being connected to the radiator, The 10 bolt rear end was serviced and determined to have a gear ratio of 2.73 as compared to the original 3.9. This greatly improves the truck's driveability.
This is a very nice truck that is sure to please.
Please observe significant scratch in paint near left rear tail light. It came from my bike pedal, and I have chosen to leave it alone except for covering with touch up paint. Otherwise, the paint job is still as good since I bought it.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
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.
