This listing is for my 1946 Chevrolet pickup truck, 1/2 ton.  It's in excellent, basically original, condition.  It's a 6 cylinder, 3-speed transmission.  It starts and runs well, seems to hold good oil pressure too.  It's unrestored, has been painted at some time in its history.  It's been converted to 12 volt from the original 6 volt, starts right up easily.  Has all glass in it, windshield does need replacing - crack on one side, discolorations on the other.  Tires are good, battery is good, body is good.  Fenders are really good - best I've ever seen on one of these.  Hood is straight, doors are clean and straight, box is ok for a driver but would need work for show - does have some extra holes drilled here and there plus small dents.  Tailgate is solid but dented - replacements are reasonable.  Brakes could use some work, they do lose fluid over time.  Last owner said it tends to overheat but I've not driven it enough to tell, I've driven it around the neighborhood without problem but haven't hit the highways with it due to brakes.

I think it's a nice old truck, probably nearly completely solid - I don't see any rust or rust hole repairs, cab floor is excellent too.  I suppose some pinholes could show up if it were sandblasted but right now it looks very, very solid.  It's not from the Midwest but not sure where it's from.

If you ever wanted a nice clean truck to either drive as is with minimal work or to restore, this may be one of the best you could find!  If you want to see it for personal inspection, that would be fine.

It was purchased to do a full body-off restoration, I've done several others like this one and this is definitely the best I've had for a starting point, but I purchased a 1929 car and have decided to restore that instead.  Parts for these are readily available, I've been using Jim Carter's truck parts and definitely have been pleased.

Truck can be stored for 30 days after auction if paid in full, shipping arrangements completely up to the buyer, I'm not a dealer, just a hobbyist that enjoys new projects.

Actual mileage unknown but the ebay listing format requires a number so I entered an arbitrary number, not actual mileage.

Paint is quite faded and does have some peeling and blisters, still looks somewhat presentable though!

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric

Wed, Feb 15 2017

General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
