 I purchased this truck in July, 2002 with the intentions of restoring back to original factory condition. Truck was manufactured in Chevrolet's Atlanta, GA Production Facility in 1965 and painted Light Green.  During the restoration process, the decision was made to change the color to Factory Code # 507 - Light Blue that was also available for that production year.

* This truck came off of the factory floor as a BASE Model with only the basic features:  " Thrift Air " Heater  /  Driver's Side Only Sun Visor / 230 - 6 Cylinder Engine with Manual 3 Speed with the Shifter on the Column.  Every effort was made to restore and maintain the Original Specifications - with the exception of the Color Change, just as the vehicle would have delivered from your local Chevy Dealer in 1965.

* All Rubber, Window Seals, Hoses, Belts,  Felt Seals, Fender and Panel Seals were all replaced.

* The Front Windshield was replaced, but all other glass is original with all new rubber on windows.

* New Rubber Floor Mats were installed along with Firewall Insulator Pad and Felt Liner under the Floor Mat.

* The Bed was re-built using new Steel rails and new bed wood as well as new chains and chain covers.

The pictures included will attest to the quality of this restoration and condition of this truck. As you can see, the vehicle is 100% complete including the Bumper Bracket Cover Panels and Cab Corner Gravel Shields that are many times missing on the trucks. The engine is strong and runs smooth with no smoke.  Transmission operates with no issues and shifts just as it came from the factory.

There are a few things not yet completed that would need to be done to bring the truck to Complete Original Specifications:  Battery is not correct for this period of truck.  Seat Cover was meant to be temporary.  Original Seat Cover is underneath, but damaged.  Radio is correct, but not hooked up, and I have the wheel for the spare tire along with the hanging mechanism for under-bed stowage.

* All Shop and Repair Manuals as well as other Books and Information shown in the pictures are included in the sell.

Vehicle is being offered with a low reserve and is availabel for inspection approximately 45 minutes south of Atlanta, GA.

** There are two small paint chips which I have pictured that occured as vehicles was being re-assembled.  These are small but I do want to make any bidder aware of these.  There is left over paint for all colors used that will also go with the vehicle.

** The State of GEORGIA WILL NOT ISSUE a title for a vehicle of this age, so ownership will be transferred with Bill of Sale and Local County Tag Receipt.  Vehicle has a current County Tag and Registration and is Insured.  Driven only occasionally.

The successful high bidder will submit a $500.00 Non-Refundable Deposit within 48 hours of close of Auction, with the Balance due within 5 Days.

* CASH in Person or Bank Wire are requested.  All financial transactions must be complete prior to release of Vehicle. If winning Buyer decides to ship, all Shipping Cost are at the expense of the Buyer and Seller will not be held liable for any damages in shipping.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses

Thu, Apr 7 2016

May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

GM sees 'strong year' in 2018, then gold in Chevy Silverado for 2019

Tue, Jan 16 2018

DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it expects earnings in 2018 to be largely flat compared with 2017, but that profits should pick up pace in 2019 as its revamped line of high-margin pickup trucks hits the U.S. market. The 2018 earnings outlook was above market expectations, sending GM shares up more than 3 percent in premarket trading. "GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient and profitable," GM Chief Executive Mary Barra said in a statement. "We are positioned for another strong year in 2018 and an even better one in 2019." GM and its Detroit rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, are bringing on new trucks at a time when overall U.S. new vehicle sales have been falling, but truck sales continue to grow as consumers abandon passenger cars in favor of pickups, SUVs and crossovers. GM on Saturday fired a new round in the battle for profits from one of the U.S. auto industry's most lucrative segments when it showed a new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the Detroit auto show. The new Silverado, a highlight of the event, is the successor to GM's best-selling vehicle in North America. Sales of the current Silverado rose nearly 2 percent to 585,000 vehicles in 2017. In the coming months, the company will also reveal a revamped GMC Sierra pickup truck. U.S. new vehicle sales fell 2 percent in 2017 after hitting a record high in 2016, and are expected to drop further in 2018 as interest rates rise and more late-model used cars return to dealer lots to compete with new ones. GM said on Tuesday that while it retools a factory in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to make the new pickup trucks, it will shift some production to an Oshawa, Ontario, plant in order to avoid missing sales in a hot market for the vehicles. The No. 1 U.S. automaker said it will record a $7 billion non-cash charge for its fourth-quarter 2017 earnings related to deferred tax assets. GM said it expects capital expenditure in 2018 of around $8.5 billion, about $1 billion of which will go toward funding self-driving car technology. Last week, the company said it is seeking U.S. government approval for a fully autonomous car — one without a steering wheel, brake pedal or accelerator pedal — to enter the automaker's first commercial ride-sharing fleet in 2019. GM said it expects 2017 earnings per share at the high end of its previously forecast range of $6 to $6.50.
