Don't kick the tires. It runs, drives, and sounds just like a 1961 Chevrolet pickup. It has manual steering, manual brakes, and a truck 4 speed. It has dents as you can see in the pictures. Looks pretty good from 20 feet. This pickup goes down the road smoothly. It steers and brakes nicely and doesn't wander. I've put about a hundred miles on it testing it out. It runs very well, and sounds good, with dual exhaust, headers and a 650 Holley double pumper. Was told by previous owner that the engine is a 305. It will burn the tires if you wish to do so.
I will describe as best I can what it needs and defects as best I can. It has good solid floors and sheet metal. There is a small rust spot on the corner of the hood underneath on the right rear corner. Small rust spot on bottom corner of drivers door, and a hairline crack on the drivers floor. (see pictures). Other than that, the bottoms of the doors and everything else looks solid. It needs a carpet (or floor mat), Tires are about 50% . Looks like someone has removed a crossmember from the rear of the frame at one time. There is a hole cut in the dash for a stereo. I have it taped off. Gearshift lever has been shortened. Needs new window felt for side windows. Horn does not work. E-brake does not work. (needs cables). Someone pounded some dents in the drivers side header (don't know why).
It has a new windshield (small chip in it already), new door weatherstrips, and glovebox insert. All the lights work, and fuel gauge works. It has a posi rear end. I verified this by spinning the tires in gravel. Has low gears, about 2800 rpm at 60 mph. The previous owner said he put new rod and main bearings in the engine. It reads about 70 psi oil pressure cold and 35 hot at idle. The gauge is a cheap piece of junk, so I don't know how accurate that is.
I buy and sell old cars for a hobby, so there is no reason I'm getting rid of it. Just looking for something new. I don't know any history of this vehicle other than what was told to me by the previous owner. Please read my post carefully as I have described everything to the best of my knowledge. This is a very solid project vehicle that can be driven as is or restored to one's liking. Sold as is.There is no warranty on this vehicle and I do not guarantee anything on a 53 year old vehicle. It is a good vehicle for the mechanically inclined. Buyer pays shipping. I will consider delivery for a fee in a three hundred mile radius of Salem Oregon. Thanks and happy bidding.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
