100% Complete, solid, rare project with tons of very hard to find parts.
I pulled this truck out a barn in the Texas desert about 3 years ago and brought it with me to sunny SoCal. It is incredibly solid! Some small areas of rust on the running boards, and a couple spots on the fenders, but that's it. Dry and straight. AND a beautiful set of OEM front fenders goes with it! This is a very straight forward project. I just am backed up with unfinished projects at the moment, so I've decided to find good homes for a couple of them. I'll be listing a '41 Pontiac Streamliner Coupe in the next day or so. If you're anything like me, you know how hard it is to pass up a cool car that you can save! :) Please read the entire description, because this project is special.
I prefer stock vehicles, especially models that typically get beat up or chopped like trucks. You just don't see originals that often anymore. So, my intention was to do a 100 point resto on this one. I've spent the last 2 years gathering OEM and NOS parts to complete this project and make it the finest of the fine. As I said, the body on this truck is great for its age. Rear fenders will need some work, but are useable. Front are too, but I found a nicer original set of fenders that are included in the auction. The hood is workable, but is bent at the tip. Previous owner sprayed it in grey primer before it was put in the barn. Original 216 Stovebolt straight 6, 3 speed trans. Truck was originally Export Blue. Really beautiful color when combined with the red and blue accent stripes on the chrome and chevy bowties.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.
