Located in Wimberley Texas

This is one ugly a++ manly man truck - at least to a woman. It just sits around all day not doing a damn thing. I am certain it sneaks into the house at night because I can never find the remote in the morning, the fridge is empty of beer, and Netflix is paused to the never-released "Starsky & Hutch Meets Charlie's Angels." 

Anyhoo. The Beast or Beauty HAS to go, very sadly. I love her and everything she stands for. I love her history and the journeys she has taken around the dusty state of Texas, carrying the two-man crew to capture in photos the losing battles of beer joints, honky-tonks, BBQ, music and other Texas culture forever. Not to mention, I fell in love in this very Chevy. This old gal has some miles and memories (so does the Suburban).

700 Transmission
Two-tone paint: pear and maroon
Mileage unknown due to no speedometer wire (lucky gal!)

The exterior is just a mirror of her interior - or vice versa. Interior is rough and has missing center console and crack in windshield but passes inspection. Not up to date on nuthin! The truck is rust free but needs new battery to crank.

Transfer case is NP208C
Right side passenger door needs lock replaced to open
No AC, vent system disconnected
Needs to get hitched to a solid knob (don't we all)?

She is the Suburban of all Suburbans to those who really dote and adore these gals. Perfection in year, history, stories and more. As a one-person income household, it is simply not feasible for me to keep hoping for that extra grand or two to fix her back up to her old glory. I'm saving up for a divorce if I ever catch me a husband, as the saying goes.

More pictures available of the inside if you can stomach it! Just ask!

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
