Up for sale is my 1958 Chevy pickup, super solid as the photos show, very little rust overall, see detailed pictures of the bottom of the fenders and cab corners, and inside the cab where the step is and lower cab mounts. These are typically the places where these trucks rust and this one is very solid. It is probably the most solid one we have ever had! As a friend of mine who does restoration on antique vehicles said to me, "It is easier to start with a relatively rust free vehicle and pay a little more for it, than to try and save a few dollars and buy one that is rusty. There is just so much work that goes into fixing a rusty one and making it right. It is a pleasure to restore one that is not rusty and one in which the bolts come off with a wrench instead of a cutting torch". He makes a very valid point! On this truck the frame is virtually rust free. The previous owner even cleaned it down to the bare metal. (see pics). The bed has had the typical treatment where a piece of plywood was placed over the existing wood (what is left of it). The truck does not appear to have been in any collisions.

This truck has had disc brakes added up front and has been lowered 3 inches up front as well. The hubs are 5 lug upfront and 6 lug in the rear. The hubs up front can be changed out to have 6 lugs. Also a new front axle was placed under the truck. The truck stops very well. We have taken a short video of the truck. The previous owner said that the front end should probably have an alignment since it was only "eyed" up. But you can see from the video that the truck runs and drives. It has the inline 6 cylinder with the 4 speed on the floor transmission (which I prefer over the 3 speed on the column). Transmission shifts well in all gears, and all the synchros are fine, clutch is fine, rear end is fine. The engine puffs a little blue smoke on start up. There is also another engine (a 250 cubic inch) included with the truck which is sitting in the bed. It turns over but I have not done a compression check on it. The engine has good oil pressure while it is running and runs cool. Inside the truck, the amp gauge works as does the oil pressure and temp gauge. The speedometer and odometer do not work. The windshield wipers work as do the lights. The dash is in good shape and has not been cut to add a radio. The windshield has some scratches on it from the path of the windshield wipers but no cracks. The side windows in the doors have cracks in both sides. The cab is in good general condition all the way around with very few dings and dents. The doors close well and the gaps are even all the way around. The hood closes well but the hinges will need to be adjusted so that it is even (we had this same problem on a 1959 Apache that we restored and the reason the hood doesn't fit even with the body line is that the hinges need to be adjusted!). There is a hole on the front of the left fender where it looks like a piece of farm machinery went through it. This is what the previous owner said. We recently restored and brought to a Barrett Jackson Auction a 1959 Chevrolet Apache and it did very well. There is a ton of interest in Chevy pickups from 1947 to 1959. Parts are readily available from LMC or Classic Parts. We saw nicely restored examples bringing in the $20,000-$30,000 range depending on options and quality of restoration. This truck can be restored the way it is, or a V8 can be dropped in it for a mild custom. Whichever you do, it will be a sought after truck!

Here is a short video of a test drive of the truck:

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition

Sat, Dec 13 2014

To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:
