See it in action!
Looking for vintage, super cool and something no one else has? Offered for sale is a 1965 Chevy C-10 Fleetside LWB. V-8, 3-speed, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning with an original Pullman Camper. For Sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction early. This truck came from a collection in Oregon that was mainly ford vehicles with this chevy as an exception. The collection was bought by someone in Florida. He kept most of the fords and sold me the chevy. The truck was built in the Fremont California plant and what information I was able to track was that it was titled in California, Washington and Oregon. The odometer is showing 36k. I found a log book with entries in the high 90?s, from not all that long ago, so that would put it at 136k miles. I was told it had two owners before the collector bought it. This truck has a very unique camper built by Downey Sheet Metal Shop (California). The company made these campers in the 50?s and 60?s. I was told this camper has been with this truck since new. It has a 1964 serial number, on the camper, so that coincides. The camper is intact and everything works. It has the original canvas that is in excellent condition. The (double) roof slides back for shade and weather protection and none to three panels can be easily added. It does not have the original mattress or curtains as they all hit the dumpster immediately after I got it home. I ordered a new mattress and material and the bride made a mattress cover, pillow cover, sheet and matching curtains. The only thing else we did to the camper was makeup and replace the missing trim around the bed compartment doors and replace the shore power connection. The truck ran and drove great and solid ? tight and no rattles. It has a newer GM target (crate) 350 engine but had no other toys so we added the ps, pb and a/c here at our shop in Kissimmee. The a/c also incorporates a heater and defroster. The truck had original upholstery that was still all there but cracked in places so we reupholstered the seat. It has two additional fuel tanks mounted under the bed with a switching valve next to the driver. This was a repaint and it looks good. I had to spot in a couple places where it was ?keyed? on the left door and quarter. The outside mirrors were rusted and replaced. The only thing that does not work is the original radio. I replaced the speaker but the radio just crackles. I haven?t done anything with this as I assume a new owner will want something different. I have a local shop here that can repair the radio if you want original. This thing runs, steers, stops, and drives great. You will not be disappointed ? and it attracts a lot of attention. I have used this twice at dirt bike races in Florida, in the summer, and slept in the camper without needing any more than the side and back windows opened ? although I had a fan ready just in case. I have the tailgate ? I have no idea if it is the original one - I was told it was. It is straight as an arrow. Selling price is $14,900. I don?t think there is another truck quite like this available. If someone wanted the truck without the camper I would also consider that. Thanks for looking.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Chevy 1500 454 SS with just 7 miles
Sun, Jan 4 2015When trawling the classifieds either on a buying mission or merely a time-wasting mission, we spend a lot of time poring over photographs comparing the seller's idea of "Like New!" with our idea of it. It's hard to argue with seven original miles on the odometer, though, which is what this 1990 Chevrolet 1500 454 SS has. It's being sold by Country Chevrolet on eBay, the same dealer who sold the truck to its one and only owner 25 years ago. The purchaser bought two of them and left this one in a garage under a car cover, said garage being less than seven miles away from the showroom floor. Better yet, you can buy with confidence because the seller "has collected all records," which we expect would be the slimmest manilla folder in the history of receipt-keeping. For those unfamiliar, the 454 SS was a half-ton, regular cab, 2WD pickup powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) V8 with 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque shifting through a three-speed transmission. This was at the same time the Chevrolet Corvette used a 5.7-liter V8 producing 250 hp and 350 lb-ft. The pickup rode on exclusive wheels and only came in black with red cloth inside. The only extra-cost option on this example is an $18 locking fuel filler cap, which, according to the 454ss forum, means it should have cost about $18,460 out the door, the equivalent of about $34,000 today. At the time of writing there are zero bids, but proceedings open at $45,000 and Country Chevrolet wants $49,000 if you have to have your time capsule right now.
GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production
Sat, Oct 24 2015Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.
