1933 CHEVROLET HALF-TON PICK UP TRUCK!!!

Fully Completed Frame-Off Restoration!

Up for sale is a 1933 Chevrolet Half-Ton Pick Up. Excellent running condition. This truck currently has 2,027 miles on it since the restoration. Since I’ve been the owner, we drive it to car shows, in parades, etc. It’s garaged and has been very well cared for. We actually keep it on a parking lift in our garage above another vehicle.

This truck was owned and fully restored by my father who passed away in 2010, and it was left to me from his estate. This truck was one of two projects (the other was a 1934 Ford Cabriolet, his first car, also for sale) that occupied much of his twenty years in retirement, and he finished the restoration in 2006. He was a machinist in his early years, and then owned a marina for the latter twenty five years prior to his retirement. The first truck that he owned in his youth was a 1933 Chevy Half Ton, which is how he chose the project. He spent years on this project, and everything…and I mean EVERYTHING was disassembled and fully restored to as close to factory original as possible. When he could not locate a part, he did the research and fabricated the parts. He went to many Carlisle, Pennsylvania car shows, scouting parts, taking reference photos, researching, learning all he could to get the truck as close to factory as possible. Needless to say, this was a full frame-off restoration. He even built the rotisserie that he used for the frame during the restoration process. We have pictures to document the entire restoration process, from selection of the raw, rusted truck, the disassembly, the original engine in its unrestored state, the new wood cab frame that he built from scratch, etc., etc.…over 200 pictures that are numbered and correspond to a listing of what each photo represents. The photo book and the notebook (mentioned below) both are included with the truck. He was nothing if not meticulous. In addition, there are many other pictures included, some duplicates of the numbered series. In my opinion, one of the most stunning aspects to this truck is the beautiful paint, in original black and blue and the gorgeous wooden bed.

I also have the notes that he took during the disassembly process. It includes such details as the diameter of the pistons, crankshaft journal dimensions, diagrams, disassembly drawings, and part numbers among many other details. There is an unbelievable amount of notes that he took on some of these parts as he disassembled the old parts, so that they went together as originally designed. Extremely detailed; dimensions, angles, fasteners, materials, etc. Look at some of the notebook scans below to get an idea of how he recorded this restoration project.

The original 6-cylinder engine that came with the truck that he chose to restore was not a running engine at the time, so he also acquired a 6-cylinder from a 1934 truck as well. I’m not exactly sure what parts he used from the 1934 engine, but I believe that he only used parts that did not deviate from the original 1933 design in order to maintain the originality. The serial number indicates that this engine is a “Master Six”, which has increased displacement and horsepower over the standard six.

Engine specs: 206.8 cubic inch, six cylinder OHV, 65 HP at 2,800 RPM.

This is not a “resto-mod”, this is a restoration. No fiberglass parts, no replica parts. As far as I can tell, the only item that’s NOT as it rolled off the assembly line is a primer bulb added to the fuel supply line, near the carburetor. I’ll be glad to take pictures of anything you like on the vehicle, just ask. You may also email me your telephone number if you’d like to ask questions, but bear in mind that I didn’t do the restoration and therefore I may not be able to answer specific technical questions. I’ll be glad to take it to any mechanic or auto dealer within a reasonable distance of my home, in Westhampton, NY for inspection. Also included is the display tool kit, which is pictured below.

I’m selling this vehicle because it just gets so little exposure, and it just doesn’t get any use. This vehicle deserves to be shown and admired. If you’re looking for a near perfect restoration of Chevy’s early half-ton pickup, I don’t think that you’ll find a better one. This truck is a step back in time, and when you sit inside or drive this truck you can almost imagine what an incredible step forward for a farmer or delivery man this truck must have been over the horse-drawn way of life. The first Chevy Pick Up appeared in 1924, so it was still a relatively new advantage over the horse-drawn predecessor. 1933 was the year that Chevy sold their millionth commercial vehicle, and this truck is a perfect representation of that momentous year. This restoration was a labor of love for this man, and he took years to get this project completed to his satisfaction. It was a difficult decision to let this piece of the family go, but as I’ve finally come to realize in the couple years since his passing, “it isn’t Dad…it was just his truck”.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang Â— the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint Â— red, white and blue Â— and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its Â“ram induction systemÂ” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 Â— a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

2020 Chevy Trax spied sporting design cues from the new Blazer

Wed, Oct 3 2018

We saw spy shots in August for what we thought was either a redesigned Chevrolet Trax or new GMC subcompact crossover. At the time we were leaning Chevy. But after this latest batch of spy shots taken near GM's proving grounds, we're now thinking this one is the Trax replacement and the other one was a GMC. For one, the thin row of LEDs looks remarkably similar to the 2019 Chevy Blazer's LED strip. The additional light slightly below that is similar to the Blazer as well, leading us to believe that the next Trax will have a Blazer-esque front end. At first glance, this vehicle looks slightly larger than today's Trax with a much brawnier shape than the current blob-like design. The rear roof cladding could be hiding the same sloped rear window with spoiler hangover we see on the Blazer. Circling back to the other small GM crossover we caught testing, this one doesn't have those Blazer elements. The curved windshield and sloping roof are like those of the GMC Terrain, as are the horizontal grille bars. By contrast, the above car has a straighter windshield and a roof shaped more like the Blazer. One element that does seem to diverge from the new Blazer are the taillights, but they don't exactly look production-ready anyway. If we're right about this being the next Trax (and we're pretty sure we are) then this looks to be a more distinctive vehicle than what it will replace. The mirrors have left their awkward spot on the doors, and it's shaping up to be a much sportier looking crossover as a whole. This vehicle will most likely end up being a 2020 model year car, and if so, we would expect to see undisguised photos of both it and the assumed GMC version next year.
