1955 Chevrolet Pickup 1st Series Barn Find Rat Rod. on 2040-cars
Holden, Missouri, United States
|
1955 Chevrolet 1st series pickup truck. Solid Kansas truck. Original 235, 3spd that runs great. All gages work, new brake master cylinder, rebuilt brakes, rubber brake hoses, radiator hoses, belt, seat cover, door panels, headliner, door seals, glove box, transmission cable, fuel tank sending unit, filter and line. Also has an NOS set of Lee brand 15" front tires. Rears are 275 60 15s that are old. This truck runs, drives, and brakes great. Should pass inspection easily. Still on 6 volt system. Underhood is nearly all original. Comes with right side repair panel, dogleg and mount. Factory options are deluxe heater and foot operated windshield washer. Bottle assembly is missing. I also have another pair of correct 15" rims for the rear, but no tires on them.
Rust: Rust is pretty much in the kick panel areas, a spot in the drivers side running board, and, of course the rust patina. Glass, overall, is good, passenger side door glass is new, front does have 2 small bulls eyes in it. History: The truck was bought in the Wichita, KS area. Right door says faintly, John P. Gaty, Wichita, KS, 3000 lbs. I believe its the same John P Gaty who was an engineer, and head salesman for Beachcraft Air in Wichita, and an amateur photographer. The timeline, name, etc, all match up to what I think was his truck. I have paperwork to send in to KS DMV, but have yet to send it in. I was able to talk to the gentleman who owned since the mid-70s and it appears the truck has spent almost all its life in Wichita/Emporia, KS area. This truck would be great to restore back to original. The red paint, history, and solid condition makes it worthy of a full authentic restoration. Sold as is, where is. Title is clear. Any questions, please call, 816-726-4512. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Truck is for sale locally as well. Payment/pickup/storage: I expect a $500 non-refundable deposit within 3 days of end of auction. Balance to be paid in full with cash, certified or cleared MO or check, wire transfer, or paypal. Truck, title, does not leave my possession until all monies are paid. Pickup/delivery is the responsibility of the buyer. I will store for 14 days, sheltered for free. Every day after that is a $2 per day. Conditions are negotiable. Overseas buyers are accepted. On May-25-14 at 20:39:26 PDT, seller added the following information: repair panels are for left side, not right side. |

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect
Sat, Sep 29 2018BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
