1956 Step Side Chevrolet 3200 Pick up-with a few added safety up grades

Mr. Moore purchased this truck new from Fred Fletcher Chevrolet in Dublin, Texas on February 27^th, 1956. It stayed in his barn during his ownership and was his work truck. He took excellent care of it. Upon his passing, 45 years later, almost to the day of his purchase, in February 2001, I purchased the truck from his estate.

They are only this original once. This truck defines the word "patina" and any museum would love it! So few excellent originals exist anymore, let alone in turquoise, with original paint, 235 engine, 3 speed column transmission, interior, with original leather tailgate covered chains and…well, the list is endless.

I drove it a bit and wanted to drive it more, so I had directional signals, seat belts and even an A/C unit (installed, but never hooked up) installed. I also replaced the oak in the bed; otherwise, this is a truck your grandfather would have been proud of!

I did not detail the interior or under the hood for the photos, but it is all very nice. The door panels are metal and there is surface rust in the cabin on the original tailgate and on the side steps. I believe the miles are original. The truck has never been in an accident and the normal places of rust on these old gems, like the cab corners, just isn't there. Pull this truck into Home Depot and you will immediately be surrounded. Vintage trucks are increasing in value. This is one of the most original 1956 Chevrolet 3200 step side trucks you will find. Anyone can restore them, but the value in this truck is it's ownership lineage and its condition.

As the story goes, Mr. Moore had a lifelong dream to drive this truck from his home in Texas to Alaska, a dream he accomplished and he memorialized the trip with an “ALASKA” sticker in the real window. I just couldn’t remove it. The truck starts, runs and drives well. It has two dents (photos), that I think can easily be fixed without disruption to the paint. i can't imagine the blow that might have caused those dents! I have envelopes filled with Mr. Moore’s license receipts dating back decades. When I registered it in my name, I kept a copy of the original title, which you will own if you are the successful bidder. This is a perfect addition to any vintage truck collection.

Please ask any and all questions before bidding. If you are new to eBay and have no feedback, please email me before bidding. I reserve the right to cancel any bids, or to sell this item before the listing ends. This truck is being sold absolutely in as is condition.

I will assist in loading the car for transportation. A $2,000 PayPal deposit is expected within 48 hours of the close of this auction. Upon receipt and deposit of remainder, I will then mail the clear title to you. Documentation and keys will be given to your transport company.

I'm thinning the herd, so PLEASE SEE MY OTHER VINTAGE CARS LISTED NOW ON eBAY.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We'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.
