Hello,
“Stinky” - MYBAD68 –
The finest most Gorgeous Truck you will ever find! OVER $35,000. INVESTED IN THIS BEAUTY!
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! I installed a on board battery charger/tender under the hood next to the battery and all you have to do to keep the battery fully charged is plug it in when not in use. It has a custom stainless steel 20 gallon Boyd gas tank located under the bed in the rear of the truck (no gas tank behind the seat for added room!). The tires and wheels are 255 75R 18". It has power disc brakes, power steering, custom American wiring, everything you can image! Take a look at all the pictures and if you need more information or more pictures contact me. This Gorgeous hotrod sits and stands like it should the outside profile looks fabulous - no disappointments!
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!

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).
