1966 Chevy Shortbed Stepside Custom Cab Trim. New engine and transmission and interior. California truck with Black plates. NO RESERVE.

Let me get your attention first with the details and then follow up with the rest.

This is a desirable, stock, very solid California stepside shortbed with Custom Cab trim. Rebuilt 350, 30 over bore, moderate cam, Holley carb, MSD ignition, Chrome alternator and 12 month warranty. Aluminum radiator. New dual exhaust. Rebuilt 3 speed auto trans with warranty. Rebuilt balanced driveshaft with U joints. New brake master and wheel cylinders and shoes. New upholstered stock bench seat with tweed insert. New molded stock carpet. New windshield and seal. New door seals. New bed wood and bed strips. NOS vintage AM/FM Cassette radio and speakers.

I am done spending money on this truck and it is being sold. This was to be the nice vintage truck I always wanted with great patina to drive every day. We looked a long time to find one that was not rotted out. I even put my fathers shop logo on the door from when I was a kid in Fullerton California. I wildly underestimated the costs to restore and refit the truck and ran out of funds before I could finish with air conditioning, wide tires and lowering springs. With over $7K into it I am not done yet but need to cash out. It has a vintage patina that took 45 years to create. No intention of ever painting it. I posted a lot of body pictures to show how solid the cab, fender tips and wheel wells are. It is Shortbed Custom cab so it has the extra trim and the full gauges on the dash. All the expensive and hard work has been done. It runs very quick and stops. All the lights, wipers etc work. I replaced the gas sender and had the tank flushed and cleaned and the gas gauge worked. Then it stopped working. It reads when the key is off but swings to zero when the key is on. Strange?? So not working correctly. New windshield and seal and door seals. The wood had issues like so many old trucks so new wood and bed strips were installed.

As listed above, we rebuilt most all the running gear. The engine and trans have warranties at a local shop in Temecula California. The interior is comfortable, quiet and has a new car smell. Dual exhaust has a very nice rumble but the tone is not too loud. I found an NOS stereo still in the box from the 70's and it sounds great with new speakers. Break out your Beach Boys and Eagles cassettes.

The truck runs great and can be driven anywhere. But it is old so sold as-is please for this kind of money. The warranties transfer over for the engine and trans but is a local shop. So please no regrets or complaints. Do not overbid to secure the win, and then attempt to kick the tires when you get here. I have a 100% feedback for selling fair and leave room for the buyer to drive the truck, work on it, and still make money later. I do not want any issues. The terms are $500 paypal or cash deposit in 24 hours and balance within 3 days by cash or bank check express mail. I can store the truck here for 30 days or more while you get transportation. Just pay on time. We move on to back-up buyers if you miss the terms. Sorry, but the idea is to sell the truck for money and to move on. I will not wait weeks for the funds before moving on to the next high bidder.

Selling the truck local for $8.5K. Always interested in hearing what the truck is worth to you.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
