100% Complete, solid, rare project with tons of very hard to find parts.
I pulled this truck out a barn in the Texas desert about 3 years ago and brought it with me to sunny SoCal. It is incredibly solid! Some small areas of rust on the running boards, and a couple spots on the fenders, but that's it. Dry and straight. AND a beautiful set of OEM front fenders goes with it! This is a very straight forward project. I just am backed up with unfinished projects at the moment, so I've decided to find good homes for a couple of them. I'll be listing a '41 Pontiac Streamliner Coupe in the next day or so. If you're anything like me, you know how hard it is to pass up a cool car that you can save! :) Please read the entire description, because this project is special.
I prefer stock vehicles, especially models that typically get beat up or chopped like trucks. You just don't see originals that often anymore. So, my intention was to do a 100 point resto on this one. I've spent the last 2 years gathering OEM and NOS parts to complete this project and make it the finest of the fine. As I said, the body on this truck is great for its age. Rear fenders will need some work, but are useable. Front are too, but I found a nicer original set of fenders that are included in the auction. The hood is workable, but is bent at the tip. Previous owner sprayed it in grey primer before it was put in the barn. Original 216 Stovebolt straight 6, 3 speed trans. Truck was originally Export Blue. Really beautiful color when combined with the red and blue accent stripes on the chrome and chevy bowties.

No brakes, but it stops with the transmission. I do NOT have a title for this vehicle. It will be sold on a BILL OF SALE. Shipping is entirely the responsibility of the winner. I will help load.

The truck MUST be picked up within 3 weeks of the auction's close, as I have little space to store it. Best of luck!

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
