The only thing left to do is what a new owner wants to do ! Pic out wheels and tires and a system to make this YOUR BADASS 68' !!! These 67-72 trucks are sought after for an obvious reason they are the coolest designed trucks ever (muscle trucks). And the only thing that makes one better then another is color combo and IMO this truck has the best colors Chevrolet made ! This truck is a REAL black and red 68' that I have spent 2 years restoring as my personal truck but a new business venture makes me sell her, it is finally done I've put about 30 miles on this truck and it is ready for a new owner to show her off. I will describe all the work from the top down.......  

The body of this truck was in better then average shape, but being a black one means being diligent with making it strait so a lot of hours went into the body work. It was sprayed with epoxy through the whole process and came out really nice.

The paint we used in our opinion is the best, Diamont R-M D-403 Black for the base coat and Diamont R-M 5335 Clear to make it shine, (THIS IS SHOW QUALITY PAINT)......... The paint was sprayed by one of the best painters around so there's no tiger stripes anywhere and 3 coats of clear that's been color sanded and polished, NO ORANGE PEEL. The paint and body work came out to look Badass. And every piece of trim is new !

The interior is ALL NEW and redone back to original this is the original seat and steering wheel in great shape just recovered the seat. Everything that is red is new, all door rubbers are new with felts, windshield is new and yes it has wipers but I keep them under the seat there very easy to take off and put on, I think it looks better without. I also added a tilt column from a 72' van so it has the shorter shifter and aftermarket linkages that work great. From the drivers seat looking out over that shiny black hood with the wheel in your lap and your arm on the door is something everyone should experience!!!!

The motor is all new, its a 010 4 bolt block that's 30 over making it a 355 it has TBI heads with a 600cfm eddy carb and a cam to match. This motor was built for daily driving with MPG's in mind, but it was also built for torque and will surprise you with how strong it runs rated at 285hp and 340ftlbs it will wag its tail going into 2nd gear. The exhaust is 2 1/2" dumped at the rearend with a very unique sound that's not loud coming from mufflers of a 2003 mustang gt, I was looking for something different then what you always hear from flowmaster or dynomax and all the other cooky cutter mufflers this truck is quite when you want and can get loud when you want, very cool sound.

The transmission is a fresh 400 with a 2000 factory high stall converter with a mild shift kit and 373 gear ratio, this combination works very good.

5 lug conversion has been done so you get power disc brakes all new, the braking power is impressive. You also get power steering that's new and works effortlessly. The truck has been lowered 3" up front and 4" in the rear for a nice low truck stance, if you want it lower its easy with lowering blocks in the back.

The chassis and components were sand blasted, primed and then sprayed with POR-15 chassis paint, so the underneath of this truck looks good. All parts underneath from uppers and lowers to shocks, cab mounts, wheel bearings and everything in between is new. This truck is tight and solid with NO rattles, and will actually handle corners impressively !

The bed floor isn't perfect I planned on using the bed so I sprayed it with POR-15, it didn't bother me but you can put in a mat or rhino line.  

We all know what this truck would look like with wheels ! but everybody has different taste and some of us know you can ruin a vehicle by choosing the wrong wheels, happens all the time LOL. So I left the personal touch and easiest part up to the new owner, there's many different wheels that would work with this truck from 20s to wide whites or even a black steel wheel with red line tires, its up to you have fun. I also know some guys think they have 30k trucks that are a joke, especially on ebay. I don't live in a fantasy but I did build a sweet ride and built it right, no telling what some of these other guys would want for this truck but I have it priced to sell so taking in count for the wheels and tires,                       THE RESERVE ON THIS TRUCK IS WELL BELOW 20K!!!!! Good Luck.. It is for sale locally also. Call for any questions 405-204-0058

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design

Sat, Jun 6 2015

General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala

Fri, May 23 2014

Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
