1960 Chevrolet Truck 4x4 on 2040-cars
Evergreen, Colorado, United States
I have owned this truck as part of my collection two years. Originally purchased for a full frame off restoration, my interests have changed a bit. Here a few details:
1960 Chevrolet 1/2 ton 235 cubic inch inline 6 4 speed manual transmission divorced 2 speed transfer case Selectro manual hubs The body is in good condition. It has a lot of previous amateur body and paint work. The red/white color scheme is original, but the truck has been repainted. The frame and body are solid and free of any major rust. The original wood bed is intact and useable. Previous owner claimed it to be a native Colorado truck with 47,000 original miles. Based on overall condition, I believe it that to be an accurate claim. The following work has been completed: NOS sweeper seals on front axle All synthetic fluids including differentials, transfer case, transmission and engine Front hub and wheel bearing service Diagnosis and repair of various electrical shorts Cleaning and re-building of speedometer (odometer reset to 00,000) Clutch adjustment Things needing attention: Blower motor is not working. It has power at the switch and to the resistor. Left windshield wiper over-extends. I think a nut has worked itself loose. Oil pressure sending unit needs replaced. I have this part somewhere. This truck is far from perfect. As it stands now, it is a nice, original truck you can use and enjoy without hesitation. It would make an excellent candidate for a full restoration. I am happy to discuss any details. Purchaser will be provided with original owners and service manuals; original wheels with era correct traction tires and whatever spare parts I have. It is running and driving... registered and insured. It spends its life in indoor storage. Please feel free to contact via e-mail for more information. I am entertaining all cash offers. For reference, the insured/appraised value of the truck is $15,000. Test drives are welcome as long as the weather is nice, the roads are dry and you arrive with a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. Truck is for sale locally and subject to prior sale. On Sep-06-14 at 15:03:25 PDT, seller added the following information: The hood has the typical warp at the attachment points. This defect is not well illustrated in the photos. If I were keeping the truck, I'd get a correct 60-61 hood. I have a lead on one for the final purchaser. The aluminum wheels are from a late model Suburban and have Michelin LTX (P255-65-16) tires with about 1/4 tread remaining. The traction tires are 3/4 tread. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy. :) On Sep-07-14 at 06:32:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Also included with sale are a couple of NOS key blanks and original 1960 Colorado number plates. Please ask any questions about the truck before you bid. |

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Car and Driver reveals spy shots of mid-engine 2017 Corvette
Thu, Jan 8 2015Some news in the car world is perennial, and some is perennially wrong. Typically news about some upcoming mid-engined Chevy Corvette has fallen into the latter category, with rumors never yet generating a road car. This time could very well be different. Car and Driver has some exclusive photographs of what would appear to be a Corvette test mule with a mid-mounted engine. The car in question might look like a Holden SSV ute that's undergone some indelicate modification, but C/D editor Don Sherman assures that the bones of a C8 'Vette live within that crude bodywork. Sherman points to the closeness of the cabin to the front axle as clue number one of this car's mid-engine attitude, as well as the powertrain-sized space between the back of the seats and the rear axle. The roof and glasshouse are all clearly plucked from the current C7, and the gas tank filler positioned on the B-pillar is another huge clue. The buff book estimates that the mule points to a timeline for sale, even. Testing on this level could mean a mid-engined C8 ready for sale in as few as 20 months, or for the 2017 model year. Click over to Car and Driver to have a close look at this important set of spy photographs, as well as a rendering of what a finished C8 might ultimately look like
