1953? Chevy 1/2 ton pickup which is definitely a rebuildable project.  I lost the Oregon title and not completely sure of the year….could be a ’51 or ’52.  (I had to list "Clear" because ebay wouldn't allow "Lost Title")  I bought this as a daily driver 35 years ago.  I drove it for a few years and then broke the windshield.  It was running when I parked it with the intentions for fixing it but obviously never got around to it.  I’ve got numerous other “project vehicles” and getting older so know I’ll never get around to fixing this up.  It would be nice to see it go to a good “rebuild” home instead of the scrap yard.

There seems to be very little deep rust.  The only rust through I could find was on the floorboard at the passenger door post area.  I didn’t poke around with a screwdriver to be sure though.  The typical cab bottom rear appears to be solid as well as the fenders.  Three of the 4 fenders are in pretty good shape, one have some dents.  The bed wood floor is bad but all the metal trim is there. There is a small dent on the roof right above the rear window.  It’s about as original/complete as possible excluding the missing engine parts, original radio and couple of knobs.  I removed those years ago for another truck.   The motor appears to be frozen (tried to turn with the fan blades only).  It’s missing the carb and some firewall stuff.  I will be including the 2 extra grille pieces & front bumper splash guard with the truck.

I do have an extra hood, 2 tailgates and a couple of sets of doors and windows I’d be willing to discuss letting go as well.  I’m also listing a ’54 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup (later version bed) and making the same parts offer so if you want them, you’ll have to let me know before end of auction.  Selling both in a pack deal is also an option.

I live in the country and willing to help load the vehicle on a transport or trailer.  I’d be willing to haul it to you within a 500 miles radius of Southern Oregon for the cost of gas round trip.  If you are interested and have any further questions or want more pictures, please email me.  I want to be a honest and straight forward with the sale as possible so please do the same for me.  I will provide a bill of sale for the truck and shouldn’t be much of a problem to retitle since it’s been out of the system for so long.  Both truck are also listed locally so make me an offer I can’t refuse……I’m always into the barter system.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06

Tue, Nov 25 2014

The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery

Thu, May 15 2014

As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.
