I bought this truck 6 months ago locally from a friend who intended to restore it and didn't have time. It has been pretty much my daily driver since I bought it. I had in mind doing a restoration and have since decided I don't have the time either. The undercarriage of the truck is sound with the exception of the very tip of the drivers side cab corner brace. It is rusted. Both rocker panels and cab corners are shot as is typical on many of these trucks. It has a two small holes behind the seat where it's rusted through. The floor boards are solid with surface rust only. The bed is about as good as I've seen in an old truck. The tailgate works fine but if I kept it I was gonna replace it because of rust in the bottom. This truck came from the factory without air, PB or PS.  The 307 and the auto transmission and rear end are original and have not been changed The engine to my knowledge was rebuilt a couple of years ago  The truck has new brakes. New tires with less than 1000 miles. It has a new gas tank , new battery ,and a newly rebuilt carb.  The fellow I bought it from put a new dist on it. I have the old one.It starts every time with ease and drives great. It does not smoke or knock  and the transmission shifts very smooth. I have driven it about 2000 miles local around town driving and have put a half a quart of oil in it.  I've set the reserve on this low compared to most I've seen on here . I didn't pay a fortune for it and I'm not trying to hit a home run . Please don't bid if your not serious . I really don't want to do another auction .If you want more pictures of something I missed please e mail or call me. 7312934472.  The winning bidder needs to pay a 500 deposit within 3 business  days of auction close and the balance within a week of receipt of deposit. I accept pay pal or cert funds mailed.  Thank you and good luck

I have decided to lift the reserve altogether. Personally I hate reserve auctions so I will go ahead and trust my gut feeling. When I bought this truck I had never heard the term "patina truck" but several folks I met at a local car show I took it to said it has great potential in that world. In the next day or so I hope to post a link to a YouTube video of this truck running and driving. It runs and drives incredible and turns heads wherever I go.

I'm new to this and just found out that ebay will not let me drop the reserve. So since I don't wish to realist the truck I reduced the reserve to 1501. Reason is that for some reason any change has to be above the highest bid.   I will be posting a link to the video soon. Happy bidding and sorry for the confusion

I've gotten several phone calls asking about the condition of frame and a few other questions. So here's some more info. 1. The main frame under the truck is solid. It has rust on each end of the cab corner Brace and one the horizontal braces under the bed has some rust in it.  2. The shocks and springs are firm!  2 The exhaust is a single with a glass pack muffler. 3 The hubs are 6 lug. 4. All numbers on this truck match. NO swapped engine , transmission or rear end  and it's a factory short wheel base. Not a conversion from long to short 5 The truck has been in w tn it's entire life and up until around a year ago it was a two owner truck. 6. Everything works on this truck accept the radio . 7. I'm no expert but I have had several who are look at it. This truck is not a rust bucket. It has some rust in the usual places but overall I'm told it is above avg for an unmolested 44 year old project truck. 8 it drives  firm and smooth. It tracks down the road well and does not wander all over the place. And lastly again please don't bid if your not serious.  I'm committed to selling for what the market dictates and just don't need the drama of broken promises. Good bidding.

I was just asked about delivery. If your not close and you win this auction I can work a good deal with you on delivery. I'm a pilot and have access to free airline travel. For a reasonable amount I can deliver it to you or meet half way. All I needed is for you to take me to a designated airport serviced by an airlines  where we meet .For pre auction close delivery amounts just e mail me or call. 


On Apr-14-14 at 10:59:07 PDT, seller added the following information:

Sorry so much info but here goes. I'm new to this process having never sold anything before on ebay. I've received multiple calls from folks saying they are  wanting to buy the truck outside of the auction and some of them acting like they will give me more money than the auction will bring .Yea Right!! It turned out that according to a friend they were just pulling my chain and not serious.  Please feel free to call me and ask any question you wish but don't ask me to take the auction down.  It's too late now. I'm committed to sell it to the highest bidder whatever that is. A few final points. 1. In the last year over 1500 dollars worth of necessary new parts have been put on truck. Tires, battery,gas tank, complete new brake system and not just pads,dist,radiator  and rebuilt carb. Good luck!!!!

2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery

Thu, May 15 2014

As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.

Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans 

Thu, Apr 30 2020

Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.

Weekly Recap: Electric Rapide concept showcases Aston's future

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Aston Martin showed off an all-electric Rapide S prototype this week and announced an agreement with investment firm ChinaEquity to explore development of a production version of the sports sedan. The car could arrive in about two years if the project advances, and it would be built in Gaydon, England. The concept car, called the "RapidE" was developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. The electric Rapide is meant to highlight British innovation, and it was revealed during a state visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping to the United Kingdom. Spec were not available for the concept on display. "The car we showed in London is a fully running concept but not yet defining [of] our choice of battery, motor, inverter, etc," spokesman Simon Sproule said. "Now that we have a clearer path for producing the car, we will be defining all the parameters." Aston Martin has been vocal about its electric ambitions this year, and Sproule told us at the New York Auto Show that an all-electric Rapide could cost $200,000 to $250,000 or more. "It's a study, but we're serious about it," he said. Some reports have indicated the electric Rapide could pack as much as 1,000 horsepower. Aston considers electric technology the strongest play for modernizing its powertrains and meeting emissions standards around the world. Hybrids and all-electric models can offer high outputs and strong torque delivery, which is in keeping with the Aston's image as a sportscar maker. Company brass prefer this option over dropping down to four-cylinder engines. And yes, V8s and V12s remain part of the plan. The electric push is part of Aston's future strategy to remake its lineup, which includes refreshing its sportscars, building a production version of the electric all-wheel-drive DBX concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and adding a four-door Lagonda. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Domino's serves up purpose-built delivery car Domino's revealed a purpose-built pizza delivery car based on the Chevy Spark. It's called the DXP, for Delivery Expert, and it can handle up to 80 pizzas. The pies stay warm thanks to an oven located behind the driver's seat, and the DXP is sauced up with a puddle-lighting feature that projects the Domino's logo outside of the car. Power comes from the Spark's stock 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 84 hp that gets up to 39 mpg on the highway. Chevy dealers will be trained to service the DXP.
