I purchased this truck about three years ago from a well regarded PNW vintage racer who put one race car inside and another on a trailer and towed everything to the track. When I bought the truck it was in storage in southern California. A friend flew down to pick it up, loaded in a Buick Skylark in LA and drove it to San Francisco without incident. I had plans to preserve the vintage character but upgrade to diesel power. That project never was initiated. Instead the truck has served as a rolling garage and tow truck for my street Alfa Romeos.

The paint appears to be original, but the gloss is long gone. All the body panels appear original condition. No evidence of collision damage/repair.

The interior is in very good condition. No rips or tears in the vinyl seats, front or rear. Carpet is fine. Headliner should be replace as some water intrusion has warped the backing board.

The box is 20' x 8' x 8'. Tee side compartments include a gas generator for trackside repairs. Rear roll-up door is wood, and is starting to rot on the bottom panel (seen only from inside) and should be replaced. The interior paneling is in good condition. The solid oak floor is in excellent condition. Electric winch is recessed into the floor.

Fiberglass roof fairing. Good tIres including a spare front tire/wheel.

The engine is a V8, 5sp manual, 2sp differential. Hydraulic brakes. LR brake cylinder leaks. Pinion seal leaks. Steering gear box has a lot of play in it.

This truck has been largely off the road for a few years and requires some attention (wheel cylinder, steering gear box) to be ready for anything more than a cross town haul, mostly because of the wheel cylinder. Good oil pressure. Gauges work, lights work, turn signals work. To travel any considerable distance the truck should be transported on a flat bed trailer to your location. The wheel cylinder can be repaired locally for a couple hours labor at a reputable big rig shop. I can arrange the repairs for the buyer prior to pick up.

 

NO RESERVE! THIS TRUCK WILL SELL TO THE BEST BID

This truck is outdoors in a secured location and does not have to be moved immediately. If you purchase the truck it can stay until summer, rent-free. The truck is located in Sonoma County, 40 minutes north of San Francisco, CA.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
