up for grabs is a neat old 1965 Chevrolet C-10 (1/2 ton) that came from the factory fairly rarely equipped in that it still has its #'s matching original 283 V8 and is a factory automatic, and it has the rarer and more highly sought after big rear window and is a Custom Cab truck. It is a longbed but it had a camper on it most of its life so the bed is in rare beautiful shape w/ most of the wood still in it, perfect undented inside panels and a perfect tailgate. This truck has an uncut radio hole with the original AM radio still in it, and no rust above the visors or outside the cab roof which is hard to find on a big window truck. Some kids had the truck for a while and they took the camper off and removed the original 2bbl intake and carb in favor of an aluminum intake, and when the truck was sold they kept the carb, so it needs a carb to run. Needs a radiator put back in it too. Everything else is there and will be easy to get running again. Was last driven approx 5 yrs ago. Details below. Call with questions 256 486 1988


The GOOD: The bed is in unusually nice shape and has a perfect tailgate and inner box. The truck is a Custom Cab so it has all the cool chrome stuff and aluminum grille. The 283 V8 is said to run well and has the ultra-rare "WE" suffix code which denotes it as a correct 65 truck 283 w/ Powerglide trans. Has the original factory V8 rear end. Has no rust through in the roof or inside above the visors. All glass is good and back window is factory "Soft Ray" Tinted glass (very rare). The radio hole is uncut and the original radio is still in it. The whole truck is very straight with only 1 paintjob largely sprayed directly over the factory red paint. Has the rarer deluxe guage package instead of idiot lights. rust in the cab floor along the sill plates is normal and will not be too bad to fix. 

The BAD: The cab needs what is called "outer cab floor" patch panels (see LMC truck, Jim Carter or other aftermarket catalog) inner and outer rockers and the front cab support on the drivers side all replaced. Needs minor rust repair to the hood's nose towards the pass side park light and pass side rear support area. Some of the bed wood is rotted out. Truck needs a carburator, tune up parts and a radiator to run. Will certainly need a brake job too. Needs rust repair to both front fenders and some average door bottom repair. Has a thin area of bondo (not thick or reconstructive) on the drivers qtr behind the wheel opening - otherwise appears to be 99% bondo free. This was used to smooth a light dent - when you feel behind it you can feel no dents or serious damage - very straight actually. 

Look at the pictures and I think you will see this truck is begging for a restoration and will make someone a very beautiful truck for a lot less cost than a lot of poorer condition trucks you see like it for this price range. Call Steve 256 486 1988 to come see it or ask questions....

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
