Classic 1968 Chevy 1/2 Ton Short Bed Truck - Frame Off Restoration, Show Winner on 2040-cars
Show Low, Arizona, United States
Hello, “Stinky” - MYBAD68 –
The finest most Gorgeous Truck you will ever find! Why the name “Stinky” you ask? I have a friend of mine who
is a professional pin stripper and painter who hand paint the stripping and graphics
you see on my truck, the name “Stinky” on the cowl hood, the” PEPE LE PEW”
skunk on the tail gate and the dice by the door handles. When I first got the
truck it had a gasoline smell that I just couldn’t seem to find or get rid of.
I replaced everything I could think of even taking the custom Boyd gas tank
down 3 times replacing everything, resealing everything but it still smelled
like gasoline. My wife got in the habit of calling it “Stinky” and the name
just stuck. I finally replaced all the fuel injected gas lines and pump with all
new and that ended up being the problem, no more gas smell but he is still
known as “stinky”! Hence the name “Stinky” on the custom cowl hood and the
custom hand painted “PePe Le Pew” on the tail gate! I also had him add some
custom dice to the outside of the 2 doors. All the hand painted items can be
removed easily if the new owner doesn’t like them. Up for auction is “Stinky” my “BAD” 1968 Chevy customized 1/2 ton short bed pickup truck. It had a fresh complete frame off restoration just a couple of years ago. Everything has been replaced and up-graded. I have a large 3 ring binder showing the restoration project from start to finish. It is painted a BEAUTIFUL Corvette “Lemans” blue color and has tan leather folding bucket seats out of a new 2012 Odyssey and tan and brown leatherette interior, headliner and door panels. It has a 5.3L Vortex fuel injected engine with the matching automatic 460 transmission and all the computer hook ups that came out of a newer GMC truck with only 10,000 miles on it. It has a custom billet “TILT” steering wheel with matching color padding. The truck has been lowered 2" in the front and 4" in the rear. It has new tires and “BOSS” mag rims with power disc brakes all the way around, the exterior has been shaved and smoothed and all the trim pieces have been removed. The bed area is just as beautiful as the exterior painted the same color with a rubber bed mat and even has a lockable safe in the bed for your valuables or guns, etc. I just finished putting in power windows and a Bulldog remote “TALKING” security alarm system. I also just installed a new flip touch screen DVD/CD AM/FM IPod stereo player that you can leave flipped out or hidden in the dash, with a hidden powered antenna. The stereo system has 6 speakers with an amplifier system. The underneath portion of this truck is also completed painted and finished off. Stinky has flow master forty series dual exhaust run to the rear of the truck with chrome tips, the sound is incredible! Stinky is really fast but yet gets great gas mileage with the newer vortex engine. It has a new custom cowl hood and all new instrument gauges by Auto-Meter, Pro-Comp, Ultralight. It has new Vintage air conditioning and heat with the vents cut and installed in the dash. Custom Billet instrument gauge bezel and matching Billet glove box door. I also just installed new Euro crystal headlights with 7” amber LED aux lights in the seal beam and a new BI-XENON HID kit for super neat brightness (these really look cool and do a great job lighting things up). I have new LED front amber indicator lights and all side lights have been shaved and recessed for a clean look. Truck has all the windows tinted with a chrome / billet rear view mirror with matching blue flames. It also has brand new swan neck chrome / billet hot rod outside door mirrors. Everything is finished and completed on this beauty! Stinky also has hot jet coated headers and the engine compartment is fully painted and customized! Stinky has always been garage kept and been maintained by
professional classic car mechanics. I have all the records and receipts for the
things I have done. I have a clear title with no problems. I have only entered it in one car show here locally and it
took first place and I will include the trophy with the sale. It drives and
handles like a beauty. The truck only had approximately 900 miles on the
rebuild when I purchased it and it only has 1650 miles on it now as indicated
by the odometer. Has a new steel bed painted the same color and a custom
Gaylord fiberglass matching bed topper with underneath lights. I have tried to list all the extra options and added parts
but it literally has just about everything and I am sure I have missed a few
things. No dings, scratches, dents rust or other problems. There are no
disappointments with this truck, you will be extremely happy with it. This is a
classic and extreme care has been taken to make sure it got the very best of
everything however it is a 1968 that has been rebuilt and there is no warranty.
When you buy it you will be buying it “as is”, “where is” and the buyer will be
responsible for transportation and or pick up. I will expect a non-refundable
deposit of $1,000.00 through PayPal or in cash or direct bank deposit within 24
hours of the close of the auction. The remainder amount will be due within 5
working days and before the truck is picked up. I will only take cash or a
direct bank deposit into my banking account for the balance. The truck is available for inspection by calling me and
making arrangements. The truck is also for sale here locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it does not reach the reserve price or it sells locally. Any questions or concerns please contact me through EBay or call my cell number; 928-205-8238 (Terry)
Check my feedback and bid with confidence! On Mar-12-14 at 13:31:25 PDT, seller added the following information: Additional information; this truck has a Boyd Welding custom 20 gallon gas tank installed under the bed area in the rear. The tires and wheels are like brand new and are 255-75R-18". I have added some additional pictures. If you need any more pictures or information please contact me. |

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue
Sun, Jan 4 2015General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.
Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap
Fri, Nov 6 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
