Wow, this is the perfect barn find.  It is a 1935 Chevy pickup that was owned by one family since 1938!  Made in March 1935 at the Oakland plant the truck has been in Novato CA since 1938.  I have a copy of the original 1938 title, as well as a lot of original manuals and sales brochures. The truck is all here and there is absolutely no rust.  The wood in the truck is perfect!  Even the bed wood is fantastic, no rot anywhere.  If the bed wood is not original it is at least 40 years old...but it well may be original.  The first photo shows the building that the truck was removed from, first time in daylight since the early 90's.  


I have not started the truck but it turns over and has great compression.  It needs the carb done and the points cleaned up. Wiring is all good and is in great shape.  The seat was removed because it was really mouse eaten.  I do have the original seats...so the frames are here.  they are still covered with the original material etc.   It looks to me like the gent who sold me the truck removed some of the original wood base...I'm going to see if I can get it from him... When the seats came out the wood and floor under it looked just as good as the rest of the wood.  Doors are solid and close perfectly. Driver's window is perfect and rolls up and down beautifully, windshield is cracked, passenger window is gone but the mechanism is there and works fine.  I have 7 original wire wheels and 5 tires all mounted on the truck.  I have ordered a radiator cap and the patterns to remake all the glass in the truck.  

I worked for a couple of hours on the drivers side of the truck with some wet sanding and then waxing and you can see the results in the pics.  The truck has a perfect patina.  it would be a shame to restore it but would be perfect for a sympathetic restoration and would look great in the survivor class on the lawn at Pebble beach!  No rear bumper I'm afraid.  the front and rear fender on the passenger side are beat up buy there and repairable. 

The exhaust is not original and there is no muffler in the system.  I took the air cleaner off and looked into the carb and forgot to put it back before the pics.  This truck is an amazing find.  The paperwork has all been done and I have a new CA title that makes it completely legal. 

The brakes are weak but they are functioning.  I hate to sell her but dont' have the time to put into bringing the truck back to life.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk

Thu, Jul 9 2015

An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software. Related Video: General Motors is recalling 164,993 2006-2010 model year HUMMER H3 and 2009-2010 model year HUMMER H3T models in the U.S. In certain vehicles, the connector module that controls the blower motor speed in the heat/vent/air conditioning (HVAC) system may overheat under extended periods of operation at high- and medium-high speeds. The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.
