A very clean running, driving vintage 1951 chevy pickup. Perfect for a vintage driver or a fantastic restoration candidate. Starts easily and runs strong, shifts smoothly through all 4 speeds and drives down the street or highway quite nicely. Mileage is presumed to be original at 114702 as the speedometer and odometer are currently working and do not appear to have ever been tinkered with. I have no proof of this, but the condition of the vehicle in general supports this.
The title is clear, to license and drive.
The bad news first - not much. There is always rust on these old pickups, but this one is unusually solid. The frame is solid and the body is great with the exception of some very minor floor rust through - somewhat beyond pinholes but not much. The pictures show this. Underbody is great, note the photo of the battery box beneath the passenger side - which is a typical corrosive environment - this is solid, and the photo of the underbody of the gas tank (behind drivers seat) which is perfect.
The good news - lots. This is a largely unmolested truck, still has the original 6 volt system, and most everything works. For example, the lights work, all the engine gauges work, the speedo works, plus the odometer. The gauge lighting works, even the inside dome light still works. The vaccum powered wipers work. The doors open and close nicely, the windows are good, in fact all the glass in the vehicle is intact and not broken.
Hopefully the pictures tell the story pretty well, I bought this truck for a restoration project and have now decided it is better for a vintage daily driver. So I am in the market for a project to keep me entertained on cold SD winter nights.
Vehicle is sold as-is where is. I will assist in loading for out of town buyers to a practical extent, but buyer is responsible for all transport arrangements and cost. Local area buyers can roll up a pack of Lucky Strikes in your shirt sleeve and drive it home.
Vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet
Tue, May 9 2017When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:
Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.
