This is a great start to a project. Im just out of time. Mechanically things are pretty good and the previous owner clearly did a lot of work. Engine starts easy and runs strong and smooth. No weird noises or leaks. Steering is tight. Clutch is good and gears all shift easily. There is a new master cylinder that is not installed so currently no brakes. Exhaust is working but I would personally look at an upgrade. The body is above average. There is no visible rust. Cab corners, fenders, door bottoms, floor panels are all solid. There has been a recent, decent paint job (within the last 5 years?) - so there are scratches and blemishes and 1 fender has some paint loss, but that is it. I would use it as a daily driver tomorrow with that paint. All chrome is present including newly chromed lower front grill and bumper. Windshield has been rebuilt but not installed. New rear window glass/seal included but not installed. Headliner material included but not installed. Newly converted to 12v including new battery but nothing is yet hooked up. That's the next big job - finishing off the wiring. Its all there. The other parts that are missing are the parklight bodies (I have the lenses) the running boards (the brackets are in place) and maybe the odd handle (I know the windshield crank handle is missing). Everything is easily available on ebay. Tires are ok. I personally would run on them. They are a bit weather checked but have decent tread and have held air all winter without loss. The box on the back is either really cool or really ugly depending on your taste. It has a locking side door so could be perfect for a tradesman for tools etc. I personally was going to go with a flatbed on the back. Anyway, it looks like an old camper that someone skillfully wrapped in tin with a funky slope on the back. Please ask for additional photos/videos and ask questions before buying. Feel free to call me Markus 250-278-1222 to discuss. Clear BC title. Truck is about 45 min. from Montana border and can be brought into the states.
On Apr-21-14 at 20:00:53 PDT, seller added the following information: I decided to take some photos of the box on the back. I was not going to use it myself so didn't care that much but thought I would do some close ups in case you wanted to keep it.. It is in worse shape then the cab. 1 fist sized dent above passenger side, a 6" strip of rust behind driver side rear wheel and a fair amount of scratches and small gaps where there are seams. No lights currently hooked up on the box but a basic trailer light assembly is included for installation. Again, I was planning to put on a flatbed but just in case you wanted to use it as is. Please email or call with any questions and I will gladly document the area you want to see up close. Considering a rusty shell is between $1-3k, I think there is a lot of value here for the money... |

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting? Vote in our poll below, then feel free to leave a few lines in Comments.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
