This is a Texas original truck that I bought from the second
owner in 1981. I have enjoyed it tremendously, but due to my age and the coming
winter (I now live in Pittsburgh); I think it needs a new home. It is a daily
driver that I would trust to drive anywhere. Additionally, it has enough
options and comes with enough new parts that someone could make “Big Red” truly
special. It came from the factory with most all options as a Custom Cab
Deluxe model. I was also told it was a “Texas Dealer Special Edition” as it has
Genuine Chevrolet hood spears and crossed racing flag emblem that I have never
seen on another truck. Comes with the protecto-plate, original owners manual,
and many, many thousands of dollars of receipts. The truck was bought from
Graff Chevrolet in Grand Prairie, TX. I have a few more factory options that I
will include with the sale to make it one of the most highly-optioned trucks
you will see. The period-correct 327 4-barrel engine has about 20,000 miles
on the rebuild. The original Powerglide transmission and rear end have about
10,000 miles on the rebuild. All perform flawlessly. The correct original size
whitewall tires have about 5,000 miles on them. It passed rigorous PA Inspections the last two years, though
I have recently placed Historic plates on it so that I no longer have to waste
a day in an automotive waiting room. The few known issues are a slight wobble
in the steering wheel and a non-working horn button in the professionally
rebuilt steering column, so I will include another complete used column that
looks to be in great shape ($200). There is an exhaust leak on the left side,
it is a loose gasket. I have included a new “doughnut”. The oil pan drain bolt
leaks slightly, I have included a new Summit oil pan, drain bolt, one-piece
no-leak gasket and new ARP bolts ($92). I will include 5 quarts of Pennzoil and
new oil filter. The gas gauge doesn’t work, the gauge is new, and so I have
included a new sending unit for the tank ($75). The temperature gauge needs a
new sending unit and the Vintage Air system should be charged as I never use
it. Original seat, tracks, rebuild kit, and new red/white upholstery are
included ($300) to replace the almost new leather seat with flip-up middle cubby/console
and matching seat belts ($950) if desired, as is a complete set of new
replacement stainless steel exterior fleet side body molding/trim from Brothers
($600). While the truck is amazingly clean for its age, there are a
few small rust areas developing and a small dent in the passenger side bed. The
cab was replaced and the original VIN plate lost, but I have a new unstamped
plate with the correct original rosette rivets and reverse stamps to replace
the Chevrolet DD plate that goes above the driver’s door. I have two extra
rivets if anyone wants to make me an offer. The frame has the original VIN
stamped into it and matches the title. I also have a used and new GVW plate for
the side vent area. As mentioned, everything passed PA’s strict title and
inspection laws. I won’t divulge the reasonable reserve, but I am a motivated
seller, so I intend to sell the truck. Bid to win. I will help with shipping,
or you can fly into PIT, I will pick you up, and you can drive it home. $500
deposit from wining bidder in 3 days, reminder paid in cash or bank draft upon
pickup at my house. Check my feedback. ·

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
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.
