YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1955 CHEVROLET 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR IN PRETTY MUCH OFF THE FARM CONDITION. I PLANNED TO USE IT AROUND THE FARM AND MAKE A SUPPLY RUN NOW AND THEN. WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IT HAD A MISS ON NUMBER 5 CYLINDER, A LATE MODEL SEAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED AND A ROTTED OUT PIECE OF PLYWOOD WAS IN THE BED. I HAD A VALVE JOB PERFORMED AND REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK SINCE FALL LIKE THAT. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD THE LOWER END OF THE ENGINE OVERHAULED BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS JUST USING TO MUCH OIL. THE ENGINE HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AND RUNS GREAT. IT RUNS GREAT NOW AND HAS PLENTY OF POWER. I HAVE SPENT $4,300 JUST IN THE MOTOR. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ORIGINAL 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH THE SHIFT ON THE COLUMN. THE REAR END IS THE ORIGINAL GEARING AND HAS BEEN RESEALED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD GONE THROUGH THE BRAKES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE CABLES FOR PROPER OPERATION. I HAVE PURCHASED THE CORRECT SEAT AND HAD THE FRAME PAINTED AND RECOVERED. IT ADJUST AND LEANS FORWARD AS DESIGNED. I REPAINTED THE CAB AND THE FLOOR DID HAVE SOME RUST AND WAS FILLED AND PAINTED. ALL THE SEALS FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL, CLUTCH, SHIFTER AND SUCH HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NEW FIREWALL PAD AND FLOOR MAT INSTALLED. THIS IS NOT A FRAME OFF RESTORATION. I WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN A NICE SOLID TRUCK TO DRIVE. THE TAILGATE WAS MISSING, THE SIDE STEPS ON BED RUSTED OUT AND FRONT PANEL OF BED VERY BENT. I INSTALLED BOTH NEW SIDE STEPS, FRONT BED PANEL AND TAILGATE AND LIKED THE COLOR SO THE REST OF THE TRUCK WAS PAINTED A SATIN BLACK. THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY DARK GREEN AND THE FIREWALL AND RIMS ARE PAINTED DARK GREEN. I USED SOME OLD RECYCLED FLOOR BOARDS FOR THE BED. IT IS TONGE AND GROOVE AND IS HELD DOWN WITH CARRIAGE BOLTS. THE REST OF THE BODY PANELS WERE FILLED AND THE WORST OF THE DENTS SMOOTHED OUT SOME. FOR A SHOW TRUCK YOU WILL WANT TO REPLACE THE FENDERS AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. DON'T BRING A MAGNET. I KNOW THERE IS PUTTY. THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE SIDE WINDOW AND REAR WINDOW MAY BE ORIGINAL. THE TRUCK HAS A STANDARD HEATER AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR. THE DASH HAD BEEN CUT OUT FOR A MORE MODERN RADIO. A TRIM BEZEL HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND A STATE OF THE ART AM/FM RADIO. THE RADIO HAD A CD FEATURE BUT DOES NOT WORK. TWO SPEAKERS ARE MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH. I HAVE INSTALLED A TURN SIGNAL SWITCH ON THE COLUMN AND HAVE REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHTS AND FROM PARKING LIGHTS FOR SINGLE LIGHT TURN, PARKING AND BRAKE LIGHTS. ON THE OUTSIDE, THE LIGHTS APPEAR ORIGINAL. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 2,046 MILES BUT THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ODOMETER. I PURCHASED THE SPEEDOMETER USED LAST YEAR. ALL THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING THE DOME LIGHT. THE TWO FRONT TIRES ARE NEW BUT THE REAR TIRES ARE SOME OLDER SNOW TIRES THAT WERE ON THE TRUCK WHEN I GOT IT. THERE IS A JACK AND LUG WRENCH BEHIND THE SEAT BUT I DO NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE. I HAVE A RIM THAT HAS A LARGE HOLE RUSTED IN IT THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE. I DRIVE IT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK NOW AND THEN WHICH IS A 24 MILE ROUND TRIP AND IS A BALL TO DRIVE. I HAVE A BARN ON THE FARM THAT NEEDS MY IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND FUNDS SO I RELUCTANTLY OFFER THE TRUCK FOR SALE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE THE TRUCK AWAY BUT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I WILL BE HAPPY TO DELIVER THE TRUCK FREE FOR A 200 MILE RADIUS FROM FREDERICK, MARYLAND.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
