1963 Shortbed Original 283 V8 3 Spd Blue And White Fleetside Original Patina on 2040-cars
Up for bid is an ALL ORIGINAL 1963 shortbed Chevy Pickup. This truck is an original survivor that I purchased from the 2nd owner, who only had it about 1.5 years. This truck was purchased new in 1963 from Harvey's Chevrolet in Radford, Va. The truck has been in Va since it was purchased new. I have fixed and replaced many of the mechanical pieces on this truck so it could once see life on the road again.
NEW Parts include:
This truck sat in a garage for 19 years after the original owner passed until the family sold it to the gentleman I purchased it from. The motor, transmission, and rearend are original to the truck. The wood in the bed is original and is still solid! I have the original springs and also the other 3 original steel wheels that go with the truck. Interior is original including the fuel tank, that was very clean! This truck runs very good and I have driven it to several car shows over 200 miles from my house. The paint is also original, with some older touch up repairs. As with all original 51 year old vehicles, it does have a few issues. Front lower fenders on both sides were repaired years ago and the bondo is cracking. Truck had an old repair in the rockers at some time during its life. One cab brace on passenger side is rusted and should be replaced. Original seat is torn. Rubber floor mat has a small tear (it is original). Front bumper is bent very little. Turn signal switch needs replacing. Heater core is bad and will need replaced, it is the deluxe heater. Heater control knobs are broken. Engine ticks a little when cold, but goes away when engine warms up. Speedometer does not work correctly. This truck is a very good truck for a full restoration, or continue to drive and enjoy it like it is. Truck has no warranties implied or expressed and will be sold AS IS, where is. $1000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction close and truck will need to be picked up within 7 days of auction end, unless other arrangements are made with me. The remainder of payment will be cash and the truck or title will not leave my possession until all money is paid in full. Any delivery fees will be at the cost of the new buyer. |

GM to build outgoing Silverado and Sierra until late 2019
Tue, Nov 6 2018As it has done with previous generations, General Motors is keeping the outgoing versions of its 1500 pickups in production despite the arrival of the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra. The production of the previous, K2 generation models will begin to be wound down gradually, according to Automotive News, starting with crew cabs "early next year," and double and regular cab models following during "the early second half of next year." The old model trucks will continue to be built into "late 2019" based on market demand, GM's spokesperson Kim Carpenter said. The Chevrolet will go by the name Silverado LD, with the GMC Sierra designation still to be announced. Some of the outgoing models are built by sharing the assembly work between two GM plants. Partially finished Silverado and Sierra double cab bodies are shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind., to Oshawa, Ont., where the trucks are completed, including receiving paint. This eases the workload in Fort Wayne, where production of the new T1 generation trucks started in July 2018. In January, the Silao plant in Mexico will take on the duties of building new generation regular cab and crew cab trucks. Carpenter also said that the "Oshawa shuttle," as the shared production is called, has been very successful. As a result, 60,000 more trucks will be built than what the original production forecast initially called for. GM's latest quarterly profits, disclosed last week to be $1 billion, have been far higher than expected and will result in full-year profits far higher than what had been predicted in light of steel tariffs. GM isn't the only truck maker taking a similar multi-generation approach for 2019. Both the outgoing and redesigned Ram 1500 are in production, with the previous generation being dubbed Ram 1500 Classic. Related Video:
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
