Fully Completed Frame-Off Restoration!
Up for sale is a 1933 Chevrolet Half-Ton Pick Up. Excellent running condition. This truck currently has 2,027 miles on it since the restoration. Since I’ve been the owner, we drive it to car shows, in parades, etc. It’s garaged and has been very well cared for. We actually keep it on a parking lift in our garage above another vehicle.
This truck was owned and fully restored by my father who passed away in 2010, and it was left to me from his estate. This truck was one of two projects (the other was a 1934 Ford Cabriolet, his first car, also for sale) that occupied much of his twenty years in retirement, and he finished the restoration in 2006. He was a machinist in his early years, and then owned a marina for the latter twenty five years prior to his retirement. The first truck that he owned in his youth was a 1933 Chevy Half Ton, which is how he chose the project. He spent years on this project, and everything…and I mean EVERYTHING was disassembled and fully restored to as close to factory original as possible. When he could not locate a part, he did the research and fabricated the parts. He went to many Carlisle, Pennsylvania car shows, scouting parts, taking reference photos, researching, learning all he could to get the truck as close to factory as possible. Needless to say, this was a full frame-off restoration. He even built the rotisserie that he used for the frame during the restoration process. We have pictures to document the entire restoration process, from selection of the raw, rusted truck, the disassembly, the original engine in its unrestored state, the new wood cab frame that he built from scratch, etc., etc.…over 200 pictures that are numbered and correspond to a listing of what each photo represents. The photo book and the notebook (mentioned below) both are included with the truck. He was nothing if not meticulous. In addition, there are many other pictures included, some duplicates of the numbered series. In my opinion, one of the most stunning aspects to this truck is the beautiful paint, in original black and blue and the gorgeous wooden bed.
I also have the notes that he took during the disassembly process. It includes such details as the diameter of the pistons, crankshaft journal dimensions, diagrams, disassembly drawings, and part numbers among many other details. There is an unbelievable amount of notes that he took on some of these parts as he disassembled the old parts, so that they went together as originally designed. Extremely detailed; dimensions, angles, fasteners, materials, etc. Look at some of the notebook scans below to get an idea of how he recorded this restoration project.
The original 6-cylinder engine that came with the truck that he chose to restore was not a running engine at the time, so he also acquired a 6-cylinder from a 1934 truck as well. I’m not exactly sure what parts he used from the 1934 engine, but I believe that he only used parts that did not deviate from the original 1933 design in order to maintain the originality. The serial number indicates that this engine is a “Master Six”, which has increased displacement and horsepower over the standard six. Engine specs: 206.8 cubic inch, six cylinder OHV, 65 HP at 2,800 RPM.
This is not a “resto-mod”, this is a restoration. No fiberglass parts, no replica parts. As far as I can tell, the only item that’s NOT as it rolled off the assembly line is a primer bulb added to the fuel supply line, near the carburetor. I’ll be glad to take pictures of anything you like on the vehicle, just ask. You may also email me your telephone number if you’d like to ask questions, but bear in mind that I didn’t do the restoration and therefore I may not be able to answer specific technical questions. I’ll be glad to take it to any mechanic or auto dealer within a reasonable distance of my home, in Westhampton, NY for inspection. Also included is the display tool kit, which is pictured below.
I’m selling this vehicle because it just gets so little exposure, and it just doesn’t get any use. This vehicle deserves to be shown and admired. If you’re looking for a near perfect restoration of Chevy’s early half-ton pickup, I don’t think that you’ll find a better one. This truck is a step back in time, and when you sit inside or drive this truck you can almost imagine what an incredible step forward for a farmer or delivery man this truck must have been over the horse-drawn way of life. The first Chevy Pick Up appeared in 1924, so it was still a relatively new advantage over the horse-drawn predecessor. 1933 was the year that Chevy sold their millionth commercial vehicle, and this truck is a perfect representation of that momentous year. This restoration was a labor of love for this man, and he took years to get this project completed to his satisfaction. It was a difficult decision to let this piece of the family go, but as I’ve finally come to realize in the couple years since his passing, “it isn’t Dad…it was just his truck”.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC.

The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today.

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets
Wed, Aug 20 2014Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets
