Truck originally from Oregon. VERY solid body! Cab corners, steps, door pillars are all solid. Even the small deflectors under the cab corners are there and intact! Lower door hinge on driver's door has been previously welded (see picture). Front fenders and headlight openings, rear fenders, box steps are all solid. Tailgate is a bit beat up, and rusty where license plate was attached. Dash is intact with no cut-outs, floor is solid. Seat needs recovering. New rad, water pump, hoses, brakes and exhaust. Engine starts easily and runs well for being 56 years old but would need a rebuild. Haven't driven it on the road but have moved it around the farm easily. Forward and reverse gears all work, headlights and turn signals work. Tires are all 60 %, spare included. Body has MINOR dings here and there, but is in excellent shape for the most part.

Deposit of $500.00 within 48 hours required by PayPal. Balance within 7 days by cashier's cheque/bank draft or cash in person. I am located close to US border near Blaine, WA and will deliver to Canadian side of border for you. You load it up and take it from there! For Canadian buyers, all import documents are in hand to have this truck inspected and registered. Currently registered in Oregon.

If you are familiar with the Chevrolet trucks of this era, you will appreciate the condition that this truck is in. If you have hot-rodded or restored vehicles before, you will know that you are WAY further ahead to spend a bit more and buy a solid truck, than to buy a cheap piece of rust and start buying and welding in patch panels. The pictures speak for themselves!

All questions welcome. Serious buyers only please. I will not make any shipping arrangements, nor do I know what companies charge.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
