I acquired this truck from one of my customers (I own a small engine dealership). She had the truck parked in her barn and I saw if when picking up a ATV she needed repaired. I ultimately bought the truck and another piece of equipment from her. The history on the truck was that her grandfather bought the truck new in 1970 from Brunt-Ward Chevrolet in Louisville Ms. He drove the truck for two years until his death in 1972. At that time, the customer's father put the truck in his shed and used it very intermittently until his death in 2007. At that time, the daughter put the truck in her barn where it sat until I bought it. She indicted there was one attempt the crank it up about three years ago by her husband but he told he the carb was bad ad the radiator was shot


When I bought the truck, I had a wrecker pick it up and tow it to my business. At this point I have had my mechanic do the following work to the truck:

1. Carb - my mechanic pulled the carb and took it apart and cleaned it (soaked in cleaner) and put it back together. We replaced the internal fuel filter in the carb with a new one.

2. We replaced the fuel pump and the gas tank due to the corrosion we found in the original tank.

3. We dropped the oil out of the unit and replaced the oil and oil filter.

4. We replaced the water pump as well as dropped and replaced the antifreeze. We were surprised at the condition of the radiator as it was in good shape. Later we found a receipt in the glove box for a radiator that was purchased in 2010 - apparently her husband replaced the radiator.

5. We originally had problems getting the heater to work but found a that a rodent had built a nest inside the heater mechanism that kept the heater from turning on. We have cleaned that up and now the heater is functional.

6. We cleaned (not detailed the truck).

Other things worth mentioning:

A. Tires were replaced 8/5/06. This includes the spare. They appear to be in good shape.

B. The truck now cranks and drives. I have driven the truck back and forth from my business to my home a couple of times (about 10 miles each way). The truck engine runs well.

C. The brakes on the truck work although they truck pulls to the left under heavy braking. I would expect that the new owner would need to do brake work.

D. The glass on the truck is good with the exception of the front windshield which has a major crack. The passenger side mirror is loose inside its housing but is in one piece.

E. The inside is in good shape with no tears in the seat or the door panels or dashpad. One of the seatbelts does have a cracked plastic cover housing. The steering wheel also has a couple of cracks in the plastic.

F. As best I can tell all of the lights and signals work.

G. There are several small dents located on the truck. I believe most will show up in the pictures. I would assume the new owner if they want to restore this truck will have it repainted and I don't think the dent repairs will be a big issue.

H. I can find no significant rustthru on the exterior of the vehicle. There is some surface rust on the vehicle. The wheels and hubcaps are very rusty.

I. The transmission is a standard shift - 3 speed on the column

Not sure what else is needed to describe the vehicle. Hopefully the pictures will show the overall condition of the vehicle, If you have any questions, please let me know. My phone number is 601 656 5131 - ask for Kevin. I would prefer local pickup on the truck but will assist in loading it with a shipping company if the buyer prefers. Payment by cash or certified check. I would like a deposit of $500 (paypal OK) within 5 business days with the reminder at pickup.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.

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.
