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.

December 9th @ 7:45 pm:

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.

2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids

Mon, Dec 28 2015

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
