I bought this truck in 2010 on Ebay from a seller in Tennessee and had it trucked to Seattle. It was freshly restored and has accumulated 1300 miles since then. The VIN indicates that it was built in Atlanta in 1958.The following is a listing from the seller of what was included in the restoration. I have no reason to question anything he said.
- Chevy 350 rebuilt by Snakeman Automotive Machine Shop in Cleveland TN.
- Chrome: all new
- Glass: New windshield, rear window and side vents
- Electrical: New EZ wiring kit with modern fuse panel and high output 1 wire alternator.
- Weatherstripping and rubber: ;All new
- IDIDIT chrome tilt steering column.
- Custom Grant steering wheel
- Exhaust system: New dual exhaust system with aluminized pipes and new Flow Master muffler.
- Underside: Cleaned and painted but not to show quality.
- Exterior Paint: In the words of the restorer "You will not complain about the paint. It shines like a black diamond, has no dents or dings and is laser straight to look down the sides. We painted the truck with a high quality PPF base/clear coat paint. After paint we color sanded and buffed to a very high gloss. Most of the truck was media blasted, sealed and primed before paint."
- Guages: Shark by Dolphin.
- Seats: Leather and power
- A previous owner had reportedly installed a front clip from a 1984 Camaro. Disc brakes in front and drum in rear
The style of this RESTOMOD is clean and simple. All badges have been removed. The interior dashboard has been nicely clean and filled so there are no cut-outs for radio and heater. In fact, it had no heater or windshield wipers. I added a nice Raingear wiper unit with 2 speed intermittent delay. I also added a heater/windshield defroster. The controls ffor this were nicely positioned as shown in pictures. I also added proper side and rear view mirrors. At some point the original gas tank was removed from behind the seats and a new tank was relocated to the rear undercarriage. The filler is now on the truck bed. The truck does not have a parking brake.
Due to improper installation of the transmission by the restorer, I had it reconstructed to include a lock-up kit. It now has a cooler as well. Due to the cooler and heater/radiator hoses being connected to the radiator, The 10 bolt rear end was serviced and determined to have a gear ratio of 2.73 as compared to the original 3.9. This greatly improves the truck's driveability.
This is a very nice truck that is sure to please.
Please observe significant scratch in paint near left rear tail light. It came from my bike pedal, and I have chosen to leave it alone except for covering with touch up paint. Otherwise, the paint job is still as good since I bought it.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
