Shawnee, Kansas, United States

1950 Chevrolet 3600 flat bed custom truck with 22 miles since restoration.  A custom bed has been fabricated from steel tubing and solid oak cabinet grade lumber.  The results of this custom bed combined with the vintage cab and front sheet metal make a very unique truck with a lot of attitude.  The drive train is a combination of new and old while the vintage appearance has been retained.
Engine/engine compartment:  The engine is a 350 Chevy motor out of a 1978 Corvette with many chrome accessories.
Chassis:  The rear end is from a newer one-ton with drum brakes and dual wheels.  A remote brake booster is frame mounted.  All six wheels are from a later model Chevy one-ton truck.  All six tires are new Uniroyal Laredo P225/70RX16 radials with raised outline lettering.  The transmission is a toploader 4 speed with a granny low gear.  The shifter has been shortened to add a custom touch to the truck.  The entire underneath of the truck has been painted semi-gloss black.  
Interior:  The interior matches the exterior colors.  Many up-to-date accessories have been added to the interior such as: new gauges, turn signals, custom wood console, custom oak door panels, clock, 12 volt electric fan, vintage compass with custom stand, prism, and Pioneer AM-FM-CD stereo radio with dual custom speakers that functions from a remote control module.  New black steering wheel.  The seat has been custom upholstered to match the exterior.  The skirting is black and the seating areas are green.  A custom pattern and new foam was used to reconstruct the seat.  Black plush carpet has been installed.  The headliner is black and is a reproduction of the original.  New black sun visors.  The original AM pushbutton radio has been painted green to match.  The Pioneer stereo is custom fitted to a special console that extends from the center of the dash.  Seat belts were installed for safety.
Exterior:  The exterior of the truck has a lot of bling and lights.  When the lights are on at night, this truck will illuminate like a Christmas tree.  The four taillight assemblies are mid 1930's with blue dots.  The hood has a rare center hood ornament with a flying bird.  Chrome imitation louvers are attached in a strategic pattern giving the effects of a louvered hood.  A vintage sun visor similar to the Fenton design was installed.  All of the glass was replaced with gray safety glass.  The two piece windshield was "V" butted which eliminates the center division bar.  The rear window has a slider that opens for fresh air and ventilation.  The running boards have been custom fabricated from wood and steel.  Lake pipes have been installed giving the truck a mid 60's custom appearance...but are not functional.  New outside door handles and chrome mirrors add bright accessories to the exterior.  The headlights have aftermarket gravel protectors and eyebrow covers.  The chrome grill is new as well as the front and rear chrome bumpers.  Stainless steel side glass and wing window glass deflectors add to the exterior bling.  
A custom dually bed was fabricated.  The headache rack was built using mandrel bent tubing and has a high level third brake light mounted in the center with a blue dot to match the taillight lenses.  A pair of back-up lights were installed and also have blue dots.  A storage compartment with two stainless steel latches that lock was installed in the center of the bed, just behind the lighted license plate recess.  All of the oak lumber is cabinet grade and the wood has been stained with a green tint.  Clear urethane provides a satin finish.  Bed rails were fabricated from oak as well.
Very unique design and two tone application.  The cab, doors and hood are green.  The front fenders, rear fenders and sides of the bed are black.  Green accents are used around the entire bed and bed floor for color harmony with the cab colors.  
Inspections and appraisals must be completed prior to bidding.  Please ask any questions before bidding as all sales are as is and final.   If you need any more pictures I would be happy to take them for you.  Delivery for a fee is an option.  $500 non-refundable deposit to PayPal is due within 24 hours.  Full payment by bank wire transfer within 5-7 days. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as the truck is advertised on other sites and locally.  Serious buyers are welcome to come look at the truck in person.  Thank you, Jerry -- 816-835-1572 -- barger55@swbell.net

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan.

Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.

Chevy Spark EV could be coming to Midwest later this year

Tue, Jun 10 2014

Ohio is not known as a hotbed of EV sales – if anything, the state is a bit anti-EV, thanks to a legislative fight against Tesla's direct sales model – but it might be on Chevrolet's short list to expand the market for the Spark EV in the near future. The latest official GM press release on the battery-powered Spark still says the car is "available exclusively in California and Oregon," but Hybrid Cars found four Ohio dealerships that list a Spark EV on their websites, with hints the the car will be coming to the Midwest state by the end of the summer. See, for example, here, here, here and here. But that's probably not going to happen, according to Randy Fox, GM communication's manager for passenger cars. Fox told AutoblogGreen that, "At this point in time, we don't have any official plans to expand the Spark EV beyond California and Oregon." The reason is that California and Oregon have the infrastructure to support EVs, Fox said, and GM wants to be able to support its EV customers. "We are continuing to look at other options," he said. "The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure" – John O'Dell John O'Dell, a senior editor at Edmunds.com, told AutoblogGreen that, "It makes sense for [GM] to expand sales and it makes sense to do it in a quiet manner, to get these vehicles on the road. The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure. If someone in my neighborhood has one and he likes it, then maybe I can trust him. So it's important to get these vehicles on the road." Chevy sold 182 Spark EVs last month, a significant increase over the 98 sold in April. That's still small potatoes compared to the 3,000+ Nissan Leaf EVs sold last month, but making the electric Spark available in Ohio, say, or GM's home state of Michigan could boost those numbers. AutoblogGreen called a few dealerships in Michigan to see what they had heard. One salesman said he didn't think GM had started production yet but the inventory manager for another dealership said the Spark EV is scheduled to arrive in the Midwest in "roughly the fourth quarter." What would GM's incentive be to offer the car in markets outside of California where it can gain ZEV credits with each sale?

Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.
