This is a truck that was parked and stored inside from 1958 to present. I have owned it for five years. It came from the NE corner of the state, and other than the patina and dings you see, it has no rust or cancer. It has only 41,000 original miles, has all original paint, and still bears the factory cab pin stripe and white paint in the grill. It has not been buffed or touched up, and would be a great truck to restore or drive as-is. I stopped it at just cleaning it up, so a person can see exactly what it is.

It has a rebuilt 1955-57 235 engine with less than 100 miles on it, and a 4 speed transmission. It has a new radiator, rebuilt starter and generator, clutch, and all new brakes with silicone fluid. It was converted to 12 volts, but none of the wiring was cut, to maintain the condition of the original wiring.

Everything is well preserved, the wiring, gauges, interior, including the original wood in the bed. The seat, door panels, and headliner are in great condition, and it has a seat cover that was installed when the truck was new. It does have dings and patina that you can see, feel free to ask if you need more or additional information.

The truck bears an original plate with permanent antique registration.

Also there is the original owner's manual, and the original key. In addition to a clear Oregon title in my name, I also have the early title stamped "Souvenir" by Oregon Motor Vehicles.

The truck is advertised locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

This truck is sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I will ship the truck, and am willing to store it after the auction ends, but that needs to be agreed upon and worked out between us prior to the end of the sale.

Feel free to contact me with questions by email, or call 503-551-8189.

In response to several questions, I have chassis photos to add, and a few things I forgot to mention.

The frame is in great shape, no rot. All the lights work, including the brake/ tail light. The heater works on high and low, and the defroster works as well. The wipers work also. The gas gauge had the resistor installed, worked fine, but I have noticed the needle stick a few times, so I believe it is the sending unit. They are about $50 for a new one.

I also rebuilt the Ranco water control valve for the heater.

If you look at the one picture from the driver's door, you can see the oil change sticker from Enterprise Shell, with the date and mileage from 1956. Not a big deal, but kinda cool.

Thanks for the interest.

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 1 2014

UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs Â– was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
