I am selling this car for the family of the recently deceased owner, who was a friend of mine. The car has been in his family since it was new. His brother bought the car new in Bonham, Texas and then traded it in for a new '52 when those came out. My deceased friend David learned that his brother had traded the car in to the dealer, and promptly bought it back from the dealer in 1952 and kept it until his passing about three months ago. He restored the car about 20 years ago, so it might be called an older restoration. At that time it received new paint, an engine overhaul, and the correct LeBaron-Bonney interior upholstery. It has been garaged since then and driven mainly in parades and antique car club functions. Since his death, the car has not been moved or started, so it may require a battery charge or a new battery and some fresh gas--possibly draining the tank of the old gas, but it ran well when I took these photos last fall. The car has rarely ventured very far from Bonham, Texas and that is where it is located now (northeast of Dallas near Oklahoma border). I will make sure it runs and can be driven onto a trailer or transport truck before it leaves here. The license plate is current and you might be able to drive it home, but I do not know the age of the fan belt, hoses, and tires. It is equipped with a six-cylinder engine (the original one, as far as I know), three-speed manual shift transmission on the steering column, fender skirts, an after-market split exhaust manifold, and after-market dual exhausts radio, and clock. It still has the six-volt electrical system. There is no rust in the trunk floor nor the interior floors. It has been a northeast Texas car since new, so never any road salt exposure. The only body filler that I know of is some in the lower rear corner of the passenger door, due to a dent there long ago. Consequently, that corner sticks out about an eighth to a 16th of an inch when the door is fully closed. All other body lines and seams line up well, and the doors, hood, and trunk lid close and open easily. The car does not overheat in parades and does not smoke excessively out the exhaust. I have known the car for 22 years and in that time it has never been abused, never sat outside overnight, and rarely gone more than 20 or 30 miles from home. If I owned the car, I would clean and repaint the engine in a proper gray color, and I would have the bumpers replated because they are a bit dull and not up to the quality and condition of the rest of the car, which is very nice. I can recommend a car hauling firm in Dallas, if need be, but you need to get your own quotes for hauling it. There is a fair reserve price on the car--please do not ask what it is, as that gives some bidders unfair advantage over others. I expect a $500 deposit from the winning bidder within 48 hours of the auction's conclusion, and full payment within 10 days of auction's conclusion. Failure to comply with EITHER one of these conditions will result in default and the car will then be offered to the runner up bidder. The car can stay where it is for another 30 days, but after that, you need to make other arrangements or pay the owners for storage. Title is free and clear. I will try to answer all questions, but the person who knew the car best is gone now. It was his "baby" and he took very good care of it as long as his health held up. If you live nearby and want to see it in person, contact me by email and I will make arrangements or give you the widow's phone # to make arrangements with her. Car is in a locked garage about 4 miles north of Bonham, Texas 75418. I do have a pickup truck and open trailer, so there is a possibility that I could deliver it for my expenses, provided the car is paid in full first. |

EarthCruiser adds a bigger camper option to its heavy duty pickup line
Tue, Sep 29 2020EarthCruiser is a camper and expedition vehicle company based out of Oregon that we've previously covered for its huge commercial truck-based machines. But they offer more than that, from drop-in campers for smaller pickups to heavy duty pickup conversions. The company's latest product is one of the latter, offering a larger camping area than the current EXD model. This new camper conversion is called the Terranova. The big differentiator between it and the EXD is the camper section, which extends over the truck cab on the Terranova. This means that bed space can be moved to above the truck cab, instead of having to use a convertible dinette. So less reconfiguring, and generally more usable space. One other major difference is that the EXD is only available for the Ram 3500 and Ford F-350. The Terranova is being designed for both of those trucks as well as the Chevy Silverado 3500. The EarthCruiser Terranova is otherwise very similar to other EarthCruiser models. The camper section is made of fiberglass and plastic, and the pop-up roof is insulated with foam. The curtains are triple-layered. The company says it can house four people. It comes with a freshwater tank and pump to help supply the kitchen sink, drinking water tap, bathroom sink and indoor and outdoor showers. There's also a cassette toilet. The kitchen features an induction stove top and small refrigerator and freezer. A fan system is standard, and air conditioning is optional. Power comes from a 400-aH lithium-ion battery. The Terranova isn't yet available. EarthCruiser is finishing up design and engineering, and it plans to have finished examples early next year. The company is taking reservations now, though. Pricing hasn't been announced, but an EXD runs between $220,000 and $265,000, and we would expect the Terranova to cost even more.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
