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
On Apr-10-14 at 10:20:11 PDT, seller added the following information: 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. On Apr-10-14 at 10:38:53 PDT, seller added the following information: 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 On Apr-10-14 at 17:13:40 PDT, seller added the following information: On Apr-11-14 at 09:59:26 PDT, seller added the following information: 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. On Apr-11-14 at 14:07:03 PDT, seller added the following information: 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!!!! |

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06
Tue, Nov 25 2014The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.
