This is a great start to a project. Im just out of time. Mechanically things are pretty good and the previous owner clearly did a lot of work. Engine starts easy and runs strong and smooth. No weird noises or leaks. Steering is tight. Clutch is good and gears all shift easily. There is a new master cylinder that is not installed so currently no brakes. Exhaust is working but I would personally look at an upgrade. The body is above average. There is no visible rust. Cab corners, fenders, door bottoms, floor panels are all solid. There has been a recent, decent paint job (within the last 5 years?) - so there are scratches and blemishes and 1 fender has some paint loss, but that is it. I would use it as a daily driver tomorrow with that paint. All chrome is present including newly chromed lower front grill and bumper. Windshield has been rebuilt but not installed. New rear window glass/seal included but not installed. Headliner material included but not installed. Newly converted to 12v including new battery but nothing is yet hooked up. That's the next big job - finishing off the wiring. Its all there. The other parts that are missing are the parklight bodies (I have the lenses) the running boards (the brackets are in place) and maybe the odd handle (I know the windshield crank handle is missing). Everything is easily available on ebay. Tires are ok. I personally would run on them. They are a bit weather checked but have decent tread and have held air all winter without loss. The box on the back is either really cool or really ugly depending on your taste. It has a locking side door so could be perfect for a tradesman for tools etc. I personally was going to go with a flatbed on the back. Anyway, it looks like an old camper that someone skillfully wrapped in tin with a funky slope on the back. Please ask for additional photos/videos and ask questions before buying. Feel free to call me Markus 250-278-1222 to discuss. Clear BC title. Truck is about 45 min. from Montana border and can be brought into the states.
On Apr-21-14 at 20:00:53 PDT, seller added the following information: I decided to take some photos of the box on the back. I was not going to use it myself so didn't care that much but thought I would do some close ups in case you wanted to keep it.. It is in worse shape then the cab. 1 fist sized dent above passenger side, a 6" strip of rust behind driver side rear wheel and a fair amount of scratches and small gaps where there are seams. No lights currently hooked up on the box but a basic trailer light assembly is included for installation. Again, I was planning to put on a flatbed but just in case you wanted to use it as is. Please email or call with any questions and I will gladly document the area you want to see up close. Considering a rusty shell is between $1-3k, I think there is a lot of value here for the money... |

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.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
