This is a pro-street, street rod unfinished project. It has what appears to be a professionally built custom frame with a Volare style front suspension set up with disc brakes. The rear is a narrowed Ford 9" non-posi unit with a smoothed housing and drum brakes.

The cab is in great condition. If there was ever any rust, it appears to have been repaired. The truck currently has a Wisconsin title, but it shows that it was previously titled in California. The VIN shows that it was built at the Oakland plant. The fiberglass Cameo sides appear to be in very good condition. I do not see any signs of damage or repair done to them. The metal portion of the box has been cut up. It could either be replaced with a different unit or repaired. The metal box needs to be tubed to accommodate the narrowed rear end. There is no tailgate included, however the fiberglass Cameo tailgate cover is included.

There is a new "in the box" wiring harness included with the truck. (See photo.) The truck is temporarily wired to allow it to start and drive. The front and rear glass is installed and appears to be in good condition. There is new door glass included along with the window regulators. The window tracks and other window hardware is missing. The Cameo tail lights are included, they are painted. New tail light lenses are included. There is no Cameo rear bumper, but there is a set of after-market fiberglass outer bumper reproductions.

There is a newer bench seat sitting in the truck. The bench seat is from a different year of truck and is not mounted but could possibly be used or retro-fitted. A gauge cluster is included. I am not sure if it is original to the truck. There is a newer GM tilt column installed. There are no knobs, no switches, no heater controls and no other dash parts, etc... included.

The truck has a small block GM V-8, I am not sure of the cubic inch displacement of the motor. There is a GM automatic transmission installed. The motor and transmission have some leaks. I don't know if this is from sitting or some other cause. At minimum some new gaskets probably need to be installed. The truck starts and yard drives. The motor seems to run decent. I have no knowledge about the condition or history of the motor or transmission.

Everything included is shown in photos, EXCEPT I forgot to photograph the front inner fenders. They are included and appear to be in good shape. They need to be sandblasted and painted, but I do not see any rust or collision damage on them. None of the stainless or chrome trim is included.

I do not know the history of this truck. It was painted and the front was partially primed. I am not sure why.

This is being sold AS-IS and I encourage interested parties to view the truck prior to bidding. Please e mail me with any questions or concerns prior to bidding.

These trucks bring big bucks when finished.

This truck will need to be trailered

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet 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.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
