1959 Chevy Fleetside Long Bed on 2040-cars
Baldwin Park, California, United States
For sale is this 59 Fleetside. Into patina, ratrod or vintage? Here you go. Looking for that black liquid looking paint job, this isnt far away. No major body panels/sheet work needed.1 small hole near bottom of driver door,1 small hole near bottom of passengers door. One 3 inch circle on lower left driver's door. And the sunroof that someone thought was a good idea to install. Maybe so, just not my style. rest of sheetmetal in really solid condition. This a California truck. Couple little patches in the floorboard but very very solid overall, no Fred Flinstone style braking. Footsteps solid, inside rear corners, behind seat, all around gas tank solid. All metal bed rails present & mostly all straight. Even banged up, twisted, rusty, bent, rails are hard to find. Surface rust of course but will try to sand those down & hit with primer before it's sold. It has a mid 70's 307 chevy V8 engine, powerglide automatic transmission, nice sounding dual exhaust, nothing too loud, just nice throaty. It has a Camaro front clip which adds power steering and power brake, disc brakes, better shocks. Mid 90's tilt steering wheel ( will make driving positions more flexible) The front clip was welded onto existing frame, so frame isn't hacked up, no structural integrity lost. Front clip = better steering, braking,smoother ride from mid 70's shocks system versus original 59 suspension. Also, parts are much easier/cheaper to find for mid 70's engine and 80's camaro front clip versus 59 chevy parts. The engine runs strong, kicks right over, sounds really good with the dual exhaust. The shocks need replacing and steering fine tuned. Original turn signals kept & work. Doors seams line up nicely and doors close solid. Emblems,, I have the front side emblems, hood emblem and rear bed " Fleetside " emblems, you will need a new bench seat. It has one there but its beat up . I have 3 extra side quarter windows, the original steering wheel and wipers. And yes, current clear California registration, pink in hand, valid to Jan 2015... I have a perfect ebay rating and plan on keeping it that way so you can bid with confidence. I am selling the truck locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you live in the Los Angeles area, you are more that welcome, and encouraged to come check it out in person. Buyer is responsible for any transportation. You can email me and I can help set something up for you. UPDATE!! I UPDATE! UPDATE!! I had a few requests on info/pics on under carriage. I jacked up the truck and took a bunch of pics. I also took a couple short videos of the engine turning over. I have already sent them to those who requested. If you also want more pics,videos, send me your email and I'll pass them on to you as well. |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon
Thu, Sep 22 2022If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024.

It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.
