1956 Chevrolet Pick Up on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States

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 27th, 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.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
