This happens only rarely. A garaged, unique incredible show truck, and a rational seller who isn't greedy.
This is basically a late model truck masquerading as a '67 C-30 1-ton Dually. It was painstakingly professionally restored and rebuilt at a documented cost of $30,805.00. Have a look through some of the restoration details uploaded. The drivetrain, suspension, fabrication, mechanical, and electrical details attended to are mind- boggling. The interior has also been renewed. Seats, headliner, glass, window gaskets, you name it. I can send the complete restoration album upon request. Due to size limits it will not fit here.
I bought this truck out of sheer respect for the quality of the restoration work performed on it. It draws a crowd everywhere. But I have five vehicles and simply don't have the time to drive it.
This dually runs like a champ, and growls with a rock solid 454 and auto trans with OD. It's set up to tow, if that's your pleasure. Don't be deceived, it is automatic although in photos it looks like a manual.
I've been through every inch of this truck and there is not a speck of rust anywhere. It spent its life in Arizona and is now in CA. insured as collectible. The odo says 4926 and upon close inspection you'd be hard pressed to find evidence of previous miles... I'm serious.. it's just that nice (and I'm picky).
I loathe re-paints, most of them ruin vehicles. Thankfully, the paint is mostly original. I can't find overspray or paint bleed anywhere. The paint is passable, but in my opinion does not do justice to the monumental restoration effort done on this truck. My price is reduced to reflect what some would say is a shortcoming. So be happy you don't have to 'undo' a bad paint job, and can customize to your liking, or leave it as- is.
The wooden flatbed was custom fabricated, looks great, and has stake pockets to accept side rails easily, if you choose. Another element open for your customization.
Please bid to own because as I say, I'm not greedy so don't be surprised. You will not be disappointed. An inspection by yourself or an agent is encouraged before bidding. There are of course some minor niggles, but only a few, and you want to spend a Sunday or two working on it, right :-) I'm glad to assist with shipping/ storage/ logistics. Cheers!

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
