This is a great start to a project. Im just out of time. Mechanically things are pretty good and the previous owner clearly did a lot of work. Engine starts easy and runs strong and smooth. No weird noises or leaks. Steering is tight. Clutch is good and gears all shift easily. There is a new master cylinder that is not installed so currently no brakes. Exhaust is working but I would personally look at an upgrade. The body is above average. There is no visible rust. Cab corners, fenders, door bottoms, floor panels are all solid. There has been a recent, decent paint job (within the last 5 years?) - so there are scratches and blemishes and 1 fender has some paint loss, but that is it. I would use it as a daily driver tomorrow with that paint. All chrome is present including newly chromed lower front grill and bumper. Windshield has been rebuilt but not installed. New rear window glass/seal included but not installed. Headliner material included but not installed. Newly converted to 12v including new battery but nothing is yet hooked up. That's the next big job - finishing off the wiring. Its all there. The other parts that are missing are the parklight bodies (I have the lenses) the running boards (the brackets are in place) and maybe the odd handle (I know the windshield crank handle is missing). Everything is easily available on ebay. Tires are ok. I personally would run on them. They are a bit weather checked but have decent tread and have held air all winter without loss. The box on the back is either really cool or really ugly depending on your taste. It has a locking side door so could be perfect for a tradesman for tools etc. I personally was going to go with a flatbed on the back. Anyway, it looks like an old camper that someone skillfully wrapped in tin with a funky slope on the back. Please ask for additional photos/videos and ask questions before buying. Feel free to call me Markus 250-278-1222 to discuss. Clear BC title. Truck is about 45 min. from Montana border and can be brought into the states.
On Apr-21-14 at 20:00:53 PDT, seller added the following information: I decided to take some photos of the box on the back. I was not going to use it myself so didn't care that much but thought I would do some close ups in case you wanted to keep it.. It is in worse shape then the cab. 1 fist sized dent above passenger side, a 6" strip of rust behind driver side rear wheel and a fair amount of scratches and small gaps where there are seams. No lights currently hooked up on the box but a basic trailer light assembly is included for installation. Again, I was planning to put on a flatbed but just in case you wanted to use it as is. Please email or call with any questions and I will gladly document the area you want to see up close. Considering a rusty shell is between $1-3k, I think there is a lot of value here for the money... |

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
1 in 7 Americans say they might buy an EV next, as sales of electrics surge
Wed, Apr 26 2017About one in seven driving Americans may likely purchase an electric vehicle as their next car, according to an AAA poll, meaning that as many as 30 million Americans may pony up for an EV within the next three to five years. While some of the motivation is environmental, survey recipients say that lower maintenance expenses and solo access to high-occupancy-vehicle lanes are also among the factors behind potentially going electric. Take a look at the AAA press release on the study here. The poll indicates that about as many people are planning to buy an EV for their next car as are looking to buy a pickup, which is impressive given that the best-selling US vehicle is the Ford F-150. And things should only improve, as about 20 percent of millennials polled said that their next car would probably be an EV. The results are all the more encouraging, at least among green-car advocates, because gas prices have fallen about 40 percent within the past five years, meaning that there's less of an incentive to go electric from a purely economic perspective. Through the first quarter of this year, US plug-in vehicle sales were up about 63 percent from a year earlier to about 39,000 vehicles. Meanwhile, when it came to AAA's annual green-vehicle awards for this year, Tesla's Model S and Model X took the large car and SUV categories, respectively, while the Chevrolet Bolt and Volkswagen e-Golf were listed atop the subcompact and compact lists. The Lexus GS 450h hybrid and the Ford F-150 took home AAA's best green vehicle in the midsize and pickup truck categories. Related Video:
Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years
Fri, Feb 21 2014Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.
