FACTORY, MATCHING NUMBERS, BIG BLOCK, SHORT BED!!!!!!!!!
This is a rare 1972 Chevrolet short bed pick up that was special ordered by a family on a farm in Little Rock Arkansas where I originally purchased it back on 2/24/97. Due to financial difficulties I was forced to sell it on 5/24/97 & when the buyer lost interest in restoring it, I bought it back on 8/16/06. Yet there is no rust on this truck now, (with the exception of the RF fender, which I have new) The poor old girl is still not completed.
After years of research & work was performed on the truck by the previous owner & myself, the engine was rebuilt by the previous owner & I learned of the rare options this truck was ordered with. A special promotional package called "The Highlander" with deluxe trim, two tone paint & upgraded interior options along with comfort tilt steering wheel, air conditioning & TH400 Automatic transmission. 12 bolt 373 posi traction rear. Rare factory gauges including a tachometer. $800 was spent on the seat alone when it was reupholstered with the incorrect hounds tooth pattern, though it looks cool. (it should have been black/white plaid)
I have thousands of dollars of receipts & a ton of new, NOS & reproduction parts that go with the truck.
I highlighted some of the new items below.
* 30 over matching #s 400 Big Block totally rebuilt with all new engine components (have receipts) & #s matching TH400
* New HEI summit racing distributor
* New Q Jet carb
* New heavy duty front sway bar kit
* New Magna flow, custom welded stainless steel dual exhaust (installed)
* New (repro) Passenger fender
* New GM Rocker panels (installed)
* New cab corners (installed)
* New Hounds Tooth seat covering (installed)
* New carpeting with sill plates
* New gas gauge sending unit
* New GM body side body side moldings (for entire truck) can't even buy GM anymore!
* Deluxe Tailgate chrome insert with letters
* New Wood grain door panel inserts
* New Gauge bezel (installed)
* Used class III hitch
* New front grille surround (aluminum)
* New front bumper (new in 1997)
* New outside door handles
* New Glove box cardboard
* New Air conditioning duct work
* New dash pad (installed)
* Tires have less than 1,000 miles
* 15X8 truck rally's
* Re-cored 3 core radiator (should be 4)
* New bed bolts
* New front end fastener kit
* New headlight bezels
* Numerous boxes of misc new & used parts also
Obviously the air conditioning is not hooked up under the hood, though I do have a number of the brackets & original components that go with the truck, but there are many vendors that have the components available now reproduction.
Though the body work on this truck is not complete, all of the hard work is done. (welding) There is still minor body work that has to be done in order to be painted.
Please be advised......Recently the truck began to "knock" a little, I do not know if it is a lifter or bearing, the previous owner rebuilt the engine so I can not verify what his work, I do not think it is serious though.
I may be able to assist the successful buyer with delivery for a separate fee since I do own a trailer, depending where he/she is located.
Please ask me about this option prior to bidding.
Please check out my other unfinished project auction,
I also will be selling a solid 1967 Chevelle Convertible project car with a lot of NOS parts included
I check my email daily, please ask questions if you are interested becoming the new owner of my old friend.
Serious buyers only please!!!!
Serious buyers may contact me for additional pictures & a YOUTUBE video to hear it run.
Thanks for looking & HAVE A NICE DAY!!

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
