1958 Chevrolet Cameo Carrier:
Production of these unique trucks ran from 1955 to 1958, with many collectors who believe the most desirable models are those from “58”, with only 1,405 assembled, and the only year produced with dual headlights. This stunning example has been preserved in its original condition in three personal collections since 1979. With only one repaint throughout its life, on untouched original body panels, the truck is finished in spectacular original two-tone red and white and highlighted by gleaming chrome and stainless trim. The exterior is complimented by a gorgeous red and silver interior with cloth/vinyl seat & door panel inserts. Equipped with the dependable 235 straight six engine, with only 78,400 original miles, and column shifted three speed manual transmission. The truck is equipped with a deluxe heater and original AM radio. The undercarraige has also been kept detailed as nice as the rest of the truck.
This truck is not to be mistaken for a frame off restoration, but rather a true survivor retaining all of the original body panels, all the exterior trim pieces , all glass, all electrical components including controls, wire harnesses and lights, nos shocks, original era "Bedford" 7.10 x 15 tires (spare being brand new), and 99% original nuts and bolts. The truck starts, runs, drives and looks just as it did the day it came off the assembly line, including the original chalk markings on the fire wall from the assembly line inspectors. This rare Cameo is by far one of the most original trucks you will ever see and will make a quite a statement in any museum or a personal collection. Seller reserves the right to end the auction early as the truck is being advertised locally.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and I will get back to you as soon as time allows.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
