This truck is drop dead gorgeous. Completely restored in 2007. This truck has never been in the rain, always garaged (of course), and runs like a champ. I will do my best to describe everything so the winner knows exactly what they are buying. Once the reserve is met, high bidder owns it. If you have any questions or doubts, please ask or just do not bid. This is a beautiful preowned and 60+ year old vehicle. It is sold as is with no warranty implied.

The monster 454 that is crammed in there runs great and strong. Very easy starting and has a great low rumble through the exhaust. It is backed by a Turbo 400 automatic which has a very slow leak at the rear seal, I believe. It is slow and never bothered me because I was going to put a 4 speed auto in it anyway. Just never got around to it. The engine runs nice and cool in part by its two electric fans. The A/C runs ICE-cold and can handle this Florida heat with no problem. There have been many unique touches done to this truck which makes it look flat out cooler than any other out there. The most notable would be the flared fenders. It also has power steering and a parking brake which I've never used because it looks to me as the release mechanism has become disconnected or was never properly installed. As you can see in the photos, the firewall is nice and cleaned up in part because I removed the heater hoses. It looks better without them and I do not need them in Florida. Hook them back up if you like. The brake booster has been moved to under the driver's seat and the battery is moved under the passenger's seat. Boom. Clean firewall.

All the gauges work, but the speedometer is not accurate. All the lights work except the interior left turn blinker. The exterior lights function perfectly. But that one interior one does not. There is a master shut-off. There is an alarm in this truck that absolutely drove me nuts. I took out the blaring siren, but if you set the alarm off, the hazards still blink. It has an airbag-ride system up front so you can select your desired ride height. When you park the truck, you must have the wheels straight as they airbags are designed to leak out slowly over a couple of days. When I parked it for several days, I always put hard rubber blocks under the truck and released a lot of the air so the truck wouldn't lay on the ground and it released some of that pressure. Don't turn the wheels to sharply if you're riding low. It will rub. I usually ran it at about 80 lbs. That kept the wheels the most perpendicular to the ground. This truck has brand new tires all the way around. It has ORIGINAL Boyd Coddington junkyard dog wheels on this truck. You can't get them like this anymore. They were not offered in a chrome finish. The original owner had them chromed, but it is now starting to pit and flake off. I would HIGHLY recommend keeping these wheels and re-chroming them. That was my intention, anyway. The truck currently has 1 inch lowering blocks in the rear. It had 3 inch lowering blocks under there, but it rode a little rougher.

I drive this truck. About once or twice every two weeks. I drive it to work and I drive it to shows. Therefor, the paint is not perfect. There are numerous little chips and a couple of scratches. Some of the larger ones have been touched up. I think this is a testament to the reliability of how well this truck drives and performs. YOU CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE IT. By far the worst scratches are on the running boards, where apparently one of the previous owners thought it was OK to step on them getting in and out of the truck. Thankfully, I believe these running boards can be unbolted, re-shot, and bolted right back into place. That easy. Again, one of the things I planned on doing but never got around to it. Please be aware this vehicle has paint blemishes and is not perfect.

The interior is beautiful and simple. Dash is painted blue, steering wheel wrapped in blue leather, and blue leather seats. It has a radio but it not hooked up. It does have an iPod terminal which is hooked up and works great. The air bag toggles and gauges are located in the center console. None of the panels covered in black fabric are

permanently attached. This is to allow access to the airbag hoses and connectors should they ever need work. Mileage shows 8600 miles, but true milage is unknown. This vehicle does not look like it has been driven 8600 miles. There is wear on the leather that covers the seatbelt sleeve and a tear on it as well. The previous owner installed speakers in the kick panels and he ran speaker wire where the battery access panel is. Kinda the short way out, but it's OK. It's an awesome truck.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

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.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
