 Up for sale is most likely the nicest original 1973 Chevrolet truck in existence today. This truck is a one owner vehicle with just under 21k original miles. This truck was purchased new at Lew Williams Chevrolet Center on Folsom in Sacramento, CA by Richard and Opal Peterson of Nevada City, CA. This truck has spent it's entire life in the dry California climate and has always been registered to one owner at one address. Many of the original documents from purchase in 1973 are pictured and included with the sale: original title, temporary registration, original registration card, financing paperwork/contract, owners manual, sales brochure, accessories brochure, and others as seen in pictures. This truck is in amazing original condition and is 100% original, down to the original factory installed tires and power beam headlights. The paint and body are in excellent condition with no blending, bodywork, metalwork, or replacement ever being done. The interior is in perfect original condition with the factory seat belts being wrapped in factory installed plastic and only recently being pulled out from behind the front seat where they have sat unused for all of these years. As you can see on the parts identification card on the inner fender that this truck is factory equipped with a 350 V8 engine, 4 speed compound low transmission, air conditioning, custom moldings, and set up for the camper shell from new. The camper shell and Barden rear bumper were produces and installed locally and have been on the truck since new. The condition of the bed is immaculate and appears to have never been used and if so, only slightly. The engine and drivetrain all work as they should on this truck. Recent work includes rebuilt original carb, fuel hoses replaced, and rear wheel cylinders rebuilt. All electrical works as it should as well. This truck runs and drives well for a museum piece, but if you were planning on using this as a daily driver I would suggest going over the usual wear items and fluids before making an attempt at using it daily. The last registration card in the truck was from 1989 and then it was registered non op with the DMV, so there is no back registration on it due for the new owner. The truck went out of daily use status before this time frame and was only recently uncovered and brought back out into the public spotlight. This truck has been kept in an insulated barn since new, and it shows. Both original license plates and dealer frames are included and in mint original condition. I also have a few pictures of the truck as it sat in the garage that I will include for the new owner. This is a true time capsule vehicle that deserves to be in a great collection of low mileage vehicles and be brought out occasionally for others to view and enjoy. Overall this is the nicest original Chevrolet truck of this year that I have ever seen and is probably the nicest and most original low mileage Chevrolet truck from this year anywhere in the world. Trucks like this just don't come around but once in a lifetime and you will be hard pressed to find another like it.

GM CEO to meet with U.S. lawmakers over job cuts

Fri, Nov 30 2018

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra plans to visit Capitol Hill next week to discuss the company's plans to halt production at five plants in North America next year and cut up to 15,000 jobs, two congressional aides said on Friday. GM has come under harsh criticism from lawmakers from both major political parties, and from President Donald Trump, since Monday when it announced the biggest restructuring for the U.S. No. 1 carmaker since its bankruptcy a decade ago. Barra is expected to meet with lawmakers from Michigan and Ohio, where GM plans to shutter three plants, as well as senior leaders in Congress. GM did not immediately comment. Barra has been calling lawmakers this week to explain the decision to end production. Trump has threatened to revoke subsidies for GM. The Detroit automaker plans to halt production next year at three assembly plants: the Lordstown small-car factory near Youngstown, Ohio; the Detroit-Hamtramck complex in Detroit; and the Oshawa, Ontario, assembly complex near Toronto. It will also stop building several models now assembled at those plants, including the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, the Cadillac CT6 and the Buick LaCrosse. Additionally, GM plans to shutter the Warren transmission plant outside Detroit and a plant that makes electric motors and drivetrains outside Baltimore, Maryland. The Cruze compact car will be discontinued in the U.S. market in 2019, although GM may continue building it in Mexico for other markets, Barra said. Reporting by David Shepardson. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: Volt makes up third of Quebec Chevy dealerships sales, Tesla seeks Aussie talent

Wed, Nov 5 2014

A Chevrolet dealership in Quebec has had the Volt make up 35 percent of its sales so far this year. Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon, Quebec received recognition for the feat at the 2014 Electric Vehicle Conference, where it won the award for Leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Dealership. To sell that many, Bourgeois Chevrolet had to import used Volts from the US, and keeps about 50 units on the lot in various configurations. The conference also saw Park Avenue Nissan of Brossard, Quebec win the Leading Battery Electric Vehicle Dealership Award, and Loch Lomond Mitsubishi of Saint John, New Brunswick receive the award for Electric Vehicle Dealership Inspiration.

Ford, General Motors and Toyota have announced that they will shut down their Australian factories, leaving behind a lot of unused talent. Tesla recently held a "Recruiting Open House" in Melbourne for engineers to fill positions at its plant in Fremont, CA, where they will be paired with other Aussie engineers already on staff.

Valeo recently showed an electric turbo it plans to supply to an unnamed automaker at a fuel economy showcase event at the EPA's National Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Lab. Electric turbochargers have the advantage of greatly reduced lag when compared to exhaust-driven turbos. They also work well when paired with cylinder deactivation, providing a much-needed boost when driving on a grade, which can help reduce the need for cylinders to reactivate. Independence from the exhaust system also makes it easier to package the turbocharger wherever there is room. Read more from Navigant Research.

Mon, Apr 14 2014

Hendrick's latest purchase happened at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach where he got into a bidding war to pay $1 million to get the first 2015 Corvette Z06. The bidding came quick with the car reaching $100,000 within 3 seconds and hitting $500,000 in about 35 seconds. The money from the sale was donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.
