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!!!!

Seized drug dealer's Corvette Z06 joins Texas police fleet

Tue, Sep 22 2015

A police department in Texas caused a stir after they posted pictures of their hot new ride on social media last week. This 2007 Corvette Z06 with dark-tinted windows once belonged to a drug dealer, but was seized in a DEA raid. The feds awarded the Corvette to the New Braunfels Police Department for their help in bringing down the drug distribution ring in the area. When police posted images of the car on their Facebook page, some followers were angry that tax dollars were spent on such an extravagant car. New Braunfels PD were quick to defend themselves. "To be clear, this vehicle was awarded to NBPD as part of an asset distribution from the Federal DEA criminal case of a large drug distribution ring in our area," the New Braunfels PD wrote on their Facebook page. "NBPD was instrumental in helping bring down that drug enterprise. Property seized during the course of an investigation is only awarded to the law enforcement agency after a court has determined that the suspect was involved in criminal activity and the proceeds (money) from that activity (i.e dealing drugs) paid for the items seized. Therefore, no property is given to a law enforcement agency prior to the investigation being completed and tried in a court of law." With a 505 horsepower V8 engine this murdered-out Corvette could outrun most speeders and getaway drivers. As is often the case in instances such as this, however, the 'Vette will be used in community outreach programs rather than as an active-duty cruiser. The department is currently holding a contest asking kids between 8 and 16 years old to find a name for the sports car. Currently, the most liked name is 'Optimus Crime'. A final winner will be chosen by the department on September 22. The kid who picks the name will earn bragging rights, plus a ride in the Corvette when its unveiled at the Comal County Fair Parade this weekend. Related Video:

See all seven colors available on 2016 Chevy Volt

Thu, May 21 2015

General Motors has been happy to promote the 2016 Chevy Volt in the shiny blue color. On the company's website for the car, though, we can find all seven exterior colors, thanks to the magic of digital technology. We went through the site and played around with the option picker and put together a gallery of all the colors the new Volt will be available in as well as the five interior options. For the record, the exterior colors are: Kinetic Blue Metallic, Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, Summit White, Silver Ice Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Siren Red Tintcoat, Heather Grey Metallic. You'll be forgiven if you can't quite tell the difference between the Pearl and the White in these images, but both colors have been available on the 2015 model year Volt. GM spokesperson Michelle Malcho told AutoblogGreen that buyers do have a preference, with Pearl accounting for 10 percent of the sales and Summit White accounted for 17 percent. The Pearl color is a tri-coat and thus has a $995 price premium, which was likely a factor as well. The interior of the new Volt will have two cloth options (Dark Ash and Jet Black) and three leather choices (Dark Ash, Jet Black, and Jet Black/Brandy). That last one will only be available in the LTZ trim level. You can play around with the color adjuster yourself here. Kathy Sirvio, the color and design manager of the Volt design team, told AutoblogGreen that, "Kinetic Blue is a marketing name. At Design we call it 'Blew Me Away'. That is it in a nutshell. The blue color is vibrant, rich and eye catching. It may not sell at the highest volume, as we know from history whites, blacks and silvers are the dominant color sales. However, it will tell everyone who sees it on the street that here comes a new vehicle and it is expressive in all the right ways." The next-gen Volt arrives later this year with a starting price of $33,995. The powertrain upgrades will push the all-electric range to 50 miles and the gas-only fuel economy to 41 miles per gallon.

Chevy SS to get 1LE-like handling pack

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Chevrolet engineers have more plans for the SS, but official approval stands between their wishes and our driving commands. After getting the no-cost option for a six-speed manual last year, Motor Trend reports that some company boffins want to throw the Camaro's track-focused 1LE package at it. On the Camaro that means the Performance Ride and Handling suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and 20-inch wheels all around concerning the road-focused bits. MT says that a 1LE on the SS would shed the staggered tires for one size all around, and get new dampers and a new suspension tune. It wouldn't turn the SS into a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, but the SS could do even more with its 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet, hopefully without sacrificing too much of its plush road comfort in the process. It's said that a production example could be done in less than six months, but it sounds like the approval process will take longer.
