1963 Shortbed Original 283 V8 3 Spd Blue And White Fleetside Original Patina on 2040-cars
|
Up for bid is an ALL ORIGINAL 1963 shortbed Chevy Pickup. This truck is an original survivor that I purchased from the 2nd owner, who only had it about 1.5 years. This truck was purchased new in 1963 from Harvey's Chevrolet in Radford, Va. The truck has been in Va since it was purchased new. I have fixed and replaced many of the mechanical pieces on this truck so it could once see life on the road again.
NEW Parts include:
This truck sat in a garage for 19 years after the original owner passed until the family sold it to the gentleman I purchased it from. The motor, transmission, and rearend are original to the truck. The wood in the bed is original and is still solid! I have the original springs and also the other 3 original steel wheels that go with the truck. Interior is original including the fuel tank, that was very clean! This truck runs very good and I have driven it to several car shows over 200 miles from my house. The paint is also original, with some older touch up repairs. As with all original 51 year old vehicles, it does have a few issues. Front lower fenders on both sides were repaired years ago and the bondo is cracking. Truck had an old repair in the rockers at some time during its life. One cab brace on passenger side is rusted and should be replaced. Original seat is torn. Rubber floor mat has a small tear (it is original). Front bumper is bent very little. Turn signal switch needs replacing. Heater core is bad and will need replaced, it is the deluxe heater. Heater control knobs are broken. Engine ticks a little when cold, but goes away when engine warms up. Speedometer does not work correctly. This truck is a very good truck for a full restoration, or continue to drive and enjoy it like it is. Truck has no warranties implied or expressed and will be sold AS IS, where is. $1000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction close and truck will need to be picked up within 7 days of auction end, unless other arrangements are made with me. The remainder of payment will be cash and the truck or title will not leave my possession until all money is paid in full. Any delivery fees will be at the cost of the new buyer. |

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024
Tue, Jan 23 2024What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.  Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt class action suit proposed, Tesla stock could outperform in 2015
Sat, Dec 27 2014A class action suit has been proposed against General Motors for a steering problem in the Chevrolet Volt. The plaintiffs claim that a defect can cause the steering to freeze intermittently, and that General Motors either knows or should have known about the problem. The case, filed in New Jersey, also claims that defective parts are replaced with the same or similar parts, which are also defective. The plaintiffs say that claims for the 100-plus-member class exceed $5 million. Read more at Law360 or at BigClassAction. Tesla Motors stock (TSLA) has risen after weeks of losses. It gained 5.4 percent during the week ending December 19, when it closed at $219.29 per share. Since then, it rose slightly more, closing at $222.26 on December 24. Morgan Stanley lowered its target price on Tesla stock from $320 to $290, predicting lower sales on the upcoming Model III than expected before, but still called Tesla a good long-term investment. Analysts at CNBC predicted Tesla to be the best performing stock of 2015. Read more at ETF Daily News. Oslo- and New York-based architecture firm Snohetta has designed a zero-emissions house that also charges an electric car. The ZEB Pilot House, built in Larvik, Norway, uses a solar panel on the roof to power the house, which also provides enough excess energy to charge an EV. To make the most of energy most efficiently, the house uses smart technology to use as much energy as it can once it's harvested. This means one can turn on appliances like the washing machine remotely while the sun is at the optimum angle in the sky - perhaps during mid-day when the residents are at work. The house also uses organic materials and is designed to save as much energy as possible. Read more at Wired.
