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:

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Honda, Chevy reveal low-drag speedway aero for Indy 500
Sun, May 3 2015As the two automakers currently participating in the IndyCar Series, both Chevy and Honda were invited this year not only to provide engines to the teams on the starting grid, but to develop their own aerodynamics packages as well. Both revealed their designs for the road-course races a few months ago, but with the Indy 500 approaching at break-neck speed, they've now unleashed their aero approaches for speedways. Both are based on the Dallara DW12 chassis introduced to the series a couple of years ago, but sacrifice some of their downforce at the altar of speed. And you can tell as much from looking at them: both Honda (above) and Chevy (below) have streamlined their designs, with single-plane front wings, lower-profile rear wings and fewer winglets on the body and around the wheels in between. The idea is to allow the cars to reach higher top speeds with less drag, while offering the necessary amount of downforce for the banked turns. With the four opening road-course rounds complete, teams using either automaker's equipment will keep the existing aero kits on their cars for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the infield course next week, then switch to the speedway package for the Indianapolis 500 later this month. Then it'll be back and forth for the rest of the season as the circus switches between road courses and speedways. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Super Speedway Aero Kit Apr 30, 2015 - SPEEDWAY, Indiana - To be used at the Indianapolis 500 - Manufacturer seeking 11th Indianapolis 500 victory since 2004 - First public running to take place Sunday at Indianapolis Honda today debuted the "Super Speedway" aero kit of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use at this year's 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The Honda Super Speedway Aero Kit, produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes a variety of individual aerodynamic components fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis. All are intended to give Honda's six Indy car teams – encompassing a potential 17 '500' entrants - the ability to maximize performance at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and other large ovals ( over one mile in length) on the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule. "We're excited to unveil our Super Speedway aero kit, the newest element in this era of enhanced manufacturer competition in the Verizon IndyCar Series," said Art St. Cyr, president of HPD.
Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
