This 1978 Chevrolet, 3/4 Ton, 4x4 Pickup Truck was bought new by my father (One Owner truck) in 1978 and it's actual mileage is 10,527 miles!!!  Yes, that is Ten Thousand Five Hundred Twenty Seven Miles.  It has a 400 motor, automatic transmission, limited slip rear end, Trailering Special, Silverado Package, A/C, PS, PB, cruise control, and dual fuel tanks.  The truck had an overhead camper on it all these years and has been parked in OUTSIDE storage from about 1985 to present in Southern California (no typical salt - rust associated problems).  This truck was driven into storage and parked 30 years ago and has not run for over 30 years nor has it been cleaned or detailed.  The hood is rusted and will need replaced from the water coming off the camper.  Glass and interior are in good shape for the way it was stored.  (When I got this truck out of storage, I cut all the belts off the motor and pulled the spark plugs.  I oiled the cylinders and changed the oil and oil filter.  I turned the motor until it had good oil pressure.  I installed new spark plugs and put some fuel down the carburetor.  The truck started right up and sounded very tight however it only ran for several seconds so I could say that the engine actually ran.  Call me for details.)  I have title for the truck and all paperwork and manual.  This is a great opportunity to pick up a nice, low mileage classic, one owner 4WD truck ready for your rebuild. ***This truck is a project truck and every system needs to be gone through, i.e. fuel, brakes, coolant, air conditioning and checked out but as you can see, loooooooow mileage.  It has NOT been driven in over 30 years so don't expect to pick it up and drive it away if you purchase it.  It will not start and drive onto a trailer, no battery, no belts, no radiator hoses, the brake system leaked out, the fuel system is dry….. this will need to be trailered out***  Known missing items…. Grill, Original Radio, belts and hoses, one of the two gas caps. I have storage reports from then to present showing truck has been in storage.  Call 760) 580-2365. $4500.00 OBO

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
