Here is a 1954 Chevy truck project that has been sitting under a local farmers hay shed for the past seven years. The PO drove the truck for a while with the original 235 but then had a Camaro front clip and rearend installed. He ordered a truck-load of new parts for it but lost interest and never touched it again. The truck has new floorboards and needs no body work except for sanding minor surface rust from sitting all these years. The wood bed was replaced with a sheet of metal and is in very good condition. The bed sides and top look as straight as new and the tailgate appears to be original with not a single dent. The truck supposedly belonged to an elderly couple about 20 miles from my home and I was told that it was seldom driven. The SC title shows 12,705 and is stamped "actual mileage. The dash is all original and still has the factory radio and gauges with no dings, extra holes or dents. The seat is missing but the seat frame is excellent. Here is a list of the new parts, still in cartons from Brothers Trucks. wiper blades, snap-in 9.5", black door panels, door panel screw set, door panel steel frames, outside door handles, interior door handles, interior window handles w/washers, black 2 pc. headliner with retainer and screw set, green side window glass, left & rt., green vent glass left & rt., window channel set, vent window seal set with rivets & setting tool, cab windlace rubber, mirror set-ribbed chrome, mirror arms w/screws & gaskets, inside rear view mirror, new hood emblems, pair black sunvisors, new green tinted windshield, new left & right side running boards, lower cab seals. This may not be a complete list of the new parts as I have not looked through all the boxes. One invoice shows cost of $755.66 not including the new windshield, back glass, running boards or the sunvisors. The running boards and windshield would be approx another $800. with shipping costs. The hood latch panel and radiator are in the back of the truck and appear to be in excellent condition. The radiator support is in place under the hood. The PO kept a record of expenses which includes parts of about $1600, body shop labor $2675, front clip and rear end with labor $2100. This truck is very solid and ready to be taken to the next level. It is for sale locally and this auction may end at any time. High bidder must deposit $500. into my paypal account within 48 hours of end of auction. Balance of payment must be made in cash at time truck is picked up. Thanks for looking and bidding.

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1
Wed, Aug 20 2014Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
