1973 CHEVROLET 454 CHEYENNE 30 "CAMPER SPECIAL" TRUCK WITH OVER CAB CAMPER

LOCKED AWAY IN PRIVATE STORAGE FOR THIRTY YEARS: ONLY 69000 MILES!

During the 1950s, carpenter/contractor Ralph Jackson, who owned a repair garage and workshop in Culver City, built himself an exquisite 17 foot sport boat so that he could take his sporting young bride, Marjorie, fishing and camping whenever they desired.

For the next twenty-five years, Ralph and Marjorie would take fishing trips in or around California, exploring the best lake and ocean points.

In 1973, Ralph bought a brand new Chevrolet 454 Cheyenne 30 One Ton Camper Special Truck with a slide-in over cab camper shell so that he and Marjory could take extended camping trips together. Like his boat, Ralph did all of the camper’s interior trim, cupboard, countertop, and cabinet work himself, creating an intimate home away from home for his adoring wife and sporting companion.

Ralph kept both his and his camper truck and sport boat in impeccable condition. He always kept spare filters, fan belts, spark plugs, hoses, motor oil, and numerous other truck and boat parts in his garage workshop so that he could regularly service them himself. His boat and truck were his passion.

Unfortunately, the camping excursions became fewer as Ralph’s construction and carpentry business took increasingly more of his time and, when her beloved husband died suddenly in 1984; Marjory Jackson sadly covered Ralph’s boat and camper truck with canvas tarps and solemnly locked the doors to her husband’s garage and workshop. She could not bear to be reminded of their many happy adventures together so she sealed them away and never looked at them again.

For the next thirty years, the boat and camper truck remained unseen, untouched, and forgotten until Marjory herself passed away in 2013. When her estate was settled recently, the doors to Ralph Jackson’s repair garage and workshop were opened for the first time in decades, and the 1959 sport boat and 1973 Chevrolet 454 Camper Truck were brought back out into the light of day.

Everything on the boat and in the camper was just as Ralph and Marjorie left them. Under layers of dust, both boat and truck remained in excellent condition. Ralph’s hat was on the seat in the cab, Marjory’s was still inside the camper. Sitting inside the truck or camper is literally like stepping back in time. The service and wiring manuals are still in the cab's center compartment and the original truck sales brochures are sitting on the side board next to the stove and sink

The truck cab is absolutely pristine; the original leather seats and carpeting are intact, no cracks or tears. The radio plays as if it were brand new.

Inside one of the camper drawers were film slides of the many trips that the Jacksons took together. Two of the photos of the boat and truck you see here were taken by the Jacksons almost forty years ago.

Because this vehicle has been in storage for three decades, we have replaced the truck batteries, cleaned the carburetor, replaced the points, tuned the engine, and filled the tires with air.

THIS TRUCK STARTS UP AND RUNS BUT NEEDS ADDITIONAL SERVICE INCLUDING NEW TIRES.

We have all ownership documents required for this vehicle in addition to a letter of assignment by the Jackson estate heirs.

During this time, we have acquired countless prop, wardrobe and memorabilia items from film and television studios, production companies, theatrical firms, as well as prop& wardrobe warehouses.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter

Thu, Nov 6 2014

We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper

Mon, Jul 22 2019

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.

GM is quietly slashing prices on base models

Fri, Jan 30 2015

While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.
