Jackson, Tennessee, United States
|
I bought this truck 6 months ago locally from a friend who intended to restore it and didn't have time. It has been pretty much my daily driver since I bought it. I had in mind doing a restoration and have since decided I don't have the time either. The undercarriage of the truck is sound with the exception of the very tip of the drivers side cab corner brace. It is rusted. Both rocker panels and cab corners are shot as is typical on many of these trucks. It has a two small holes behind the seat where it's rusted through. The floor boards are solid with surface rust only. The bed is about as good as I've seen in an old truck. The tailgate works fine but if I kept it I was gonna replace it because of rust in the bottom. This truck came from the factory without air, PB or PS. The 307 and the auto transmission and rear end are original and have not been changed The engine to my knowledge was rebuilt a couple of years ago The truck has new brakes. New tires with less than 1000 miles. It has a new gas tank , new battery ,and a newly rebuilt carb. The fellow I bought it from put a new dist on it. I have the old one.It starts every time with ease and drives great. It does not smoke or knock and the transmission shifts very smooth. I have driven it about 2000 miles local around town driving and have put a half a quart of oil in it. I've set the reserve on this low compared to most I've seen on here . I didn't pay a fortune for it and I'm not trying to hit a home run . Please don't bid if your not serious . I really don't want to do another auction .If you want more pictures of something I missed please e mail or call me. 7312934472. The winning bidder needs to pay a 500 deposit within 3 business days of auction close and the balance within a week of receipt of deposit. I accept pay pal or cert funds mailed. Thank you and good luck
On Apr-10-14 at 10:20:11 PDT, seller added the following information: I have decided to lift the reserve altogether. Personally I hate reserve auctions so I will go ahead and trust my gut feeling. When I bought this truck I had never heard the term "patina truck" but several folks I met at a local car show I took it to said it has great potential in that world. In the next day or so I hope to post a link to a YouTube video of this truck running and driving. It runs and drives incredible and turns heads wherever I go. On Apr-10-14 at 10:38:53 PDT, seller added the following information: I'm new to this and just found out that ebay will not let me drop the reserve. So since I don't wish to realist the truck I reduced the reserve to 1501. Reason is that for some reason any change has to be above the highest bid. I will be posting a link to the video soon. Happy bidding and sorry for the confusion On Apr-10-14 at 17:13:40 PDT, seller added the following information: On Apr-11-14 at 09:59:26 PDT, seller added the following information: I've gotten several phone calls asking about the condition of frame and a few other questions. So here's some more info. 1. The main frame under the truck is solid. It has rust on each end of the cab corner Brace and one the horizontal braces under the bed has some rust in it. 2. The shocks and springs are firm! 2 The exhaust is a single with a glass pack muffler. 3 The hubs are 6 lug. 4. All numbers on this truck match. NO swapped engine , transmission or rear end and it's a factory short wheel base. Not a conversion from long to short 5 The truck has been in w tn it's entire life and up until around a year ago it was a two owner truck. 6. Everything works on this truck accept the radio . 7. I'm no expert but I have had several who are look at it. This truck is not a rust bucket. It has some rust in the usual places but overall I'm told it is above avg for an unmolested 44 year old project truck. 8 it drives firm and smooth. It tracks down the road well and does not wander all over the place. And lastly again please don't bid if your not serious. I'm committed to selling for what the market dictates and just don't need the drama of broken promises. Good bidding. On Apr-11-14 at 14:07:03 PDT, seller added the following information: I was just asked about delivery. If your not close and you win this auction I can work a good deal with you on delivery. I'm a pilot and have access to free airline travel. For a reasonable amount I can deliver it to you or meet half way. All I needed is for you to take me to a designated airport serviced by an airlines where we meet .For pre auction close delivery amounts just e mail me or call. On Apr-14-14 at 10:59:07 PDT, seller added the following information: Sorry so much info but here goes. I'm new to this process having never sold anything before on ebay. I've received multiple calls from folks saying they are wanting to buy the truck outside of the auction and some of them acting like they will give me more money than the auction will bring .Yea Right!! It turned out that according to a friend they were just pulling my chain and not serious. Please feel free to call me and ask any question you wish but don't ask me to take the auction down. It's too late now. I'm committed to sell it to the highest bidder whatever that is. A few final points. 1. In the last year over 1500 dollars worth of necessary new parts have been put on truck. Tires, battery,gas tank, complete new brake system and not just pads,dist,radiator and rebuilt carb. Good luck!!!! |

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
