1972 Chevy originally from Arizona. Started with a rust-free frame and underbody. Was taken right down to the frame for restoration (last photo). More than $30,000 invested. Reserve is MUCH lower.


All body work was professionally done and is impeccable. Cab was removed and lined with bedliner both inside and underneath before painting. All body parts were removed, sandblasted, professionally restored (no bondo), primed and painted. The color is flat charcoal metallic. It actually shines in the sun (see the last pictures). Bumpers and grill are flat black.

A partial list of all of the new items that went into the restore – new inner fenders, new doors, new rockers all welded in place, new OEM vintage tailgate ($600), new tilt steering column from IDIDIT, new steering wheel, all new wiring from Painless – nearly all of it running through split loom conduit, new LED lights all around, gauge cluster was restored, new Lokar automatic shifter, new wheels, brand new GoodYear Duratrac 33" tires, new bed wood and rails, all new gaskets and seals in doors and windows, new door exterior door handles and locks, new ignition, new pedals, new tailgate chains, new interior vents, new ductwork, new armrests, new carpet, new Flowmaster true dual exhaust, new Skyjacker 4" lift and shocks, new braided steering lines, new brake lines, power leather seats from a modern GTO (yes, they work), new gas tank, new sending unit, new battery, new radiator core support, new billet aluminum grill, new grill/headlight surround, new front bumper. All bolts were removed and replaced with either Grade VIII or 304 Stainless when possible. Nearly $400 spent in bolts alone. I'm sure there is more...

The engine is a top-end rebuilt 350 with an aggressive cam. The Holley 650 carburetor and intake manifold are brand new, new valve covers, new starter, new heater core. T350 transmission was professionally rebuilt with a 1800-2200 RPM stall torque converter. Original NP205 transfer case with working four wheel drive.

This truck is 98% done. Here is what is not completed. One of the brand new window gaskets in the passenger door got caught and ripped. A set of new ones is included - you only need one. Passenger door panel is not installed (to repair the gasket). The shift boots are not screwed down. Some body panels could use some professional adjusting to line up a little better. The rear view mirror is not hung. The glove box door latch is not lining up right and is not installed. The engine could still use some tuning. It runs strong, but is very cold-blooded. There is a transmission leak that I'm pretty sure is coming from the speedometer cable. I did not hook up a washer fluid reservoir, the pump is in place with new lines. Lastly, something is taking a light draw on the battery and it causes the battery to die after 3-4 days if not run or charged. I believe it's an amp (new) installed to run an iPod through a customer speaker enclosure/center console I built.

Everything works on this truck as it should. I have many vintage 4x4s and this one is going to make room. If you have any questions I am available for calls (e-mail for the number) and the truck can be driven and seen in Three Lakes, Wisconsin. Can deliver within 250 miles of Three Lakes, Wisconsin. This would include both the Minneapolis and Milwaukee areas. Bid with confidence. Clear Wisconsin title in hand.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow

Mon, Apr 7 2014

Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.

GM may kill 6 car models as it works with UAW to tackle sales slump

Fri, Jul 21 2017

The president of the United Auto Workers union said on Thursday the union is talking with General Motors about the potential threat to plants and jobs from slumping U.S. car sales. GM's response will be more trucks and SUVs, and sources say at least six slow-selling car models may be killed off. "We are talking to (GM) right now about the products that they currently have" at underused car plants such as Hamtramck in Michigan and Lordstown in Ohio, and whether they might be replaced with newer, more popular vehicles such as crossovers, Dennis Williams told reporters. "We are tracking it (and) we are addressing it," Williams added. GM has cut shifts at several U.S. plants this year as inventories of unsold cars have ballooned. Industry analysts said more jobs could be at risk as the automaker wrestles with permanently shrinking production of small and midsized sedans. GM is reviewing whether to cancel at least six passenger cars in the U.S. market after 2020, including the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, which could be replaced in 2022 with a new gasoline-electric crossover model, Reuters has learned from people familiar with the plans. Other GM cars at risk include the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Sonic, sources said. Some analysts have singled out GM's Hamtramck plant in Detroit as one of the most vulnerable because of plummeting car sales. The plant, which opened in 1985, builds four slow-selling models: Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac CT6 and Chevrolet Volt. In the first half, it built fewer than 35,000 cars, down 32 percent from the same period in 2016, according to suppliers familiar with GM's U.S. production schedule. The typical GM assembly plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year.COMING ATTRACTIONS: TRUCKS AND SUVS GM must "create some innovative new products" to replace slow-selling sedans "or start closing plants," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. The auto maker already has begun to shift future production plans from cars to trucks, according to Morgan Stanley auto analyst John Murphy. He estimates that fewer than 10 percent of the new vehicle models that GM will introduce over the next four years will be passenger cars, with the rest divided among trucks, SUVs and crossovers. GM plans to add production of the new Cadillac XT4 crossover next year to its Malibu sedan plant in Fairfax, Kansas.
