What you are bidding on is a 1949 Chevy 5 window Pickup Truck with disc brakes, power steering, 4 speed transmission and a 383 stroker motor that not only looks cool but also drives like a beast. This truck has more power than I know what to do with. I will do my best to describe this truck and please feel free to contact me at anytime for questions regarding the truck.
Interior:
The interior of the truck is mostly new. It has new custom black door panels, new custom black headliner, new black carpet with sound deadening material, etc. Also, new door glass and new windshield glass. The rear cab windows are original. The seats are all power seats taken from a BMW and I believe they have more than 7 different power mechanisms that make it pretty comfortable to sit in. The seats have little wear on the driverside, however no rips or tear and still very comfortable. The dash is intact and is not all cut up. It is still in very nice shape. The heater and dash lights do work. The speedometer does not work, however it has a pretty cool four gauge set up as you can see in the pics. Also the gas, brake and clutch pedals are really cool looking for the style of truck. The heater also works quite well.
Powertrain:
The motor is a very strong running 383 stroker motor with a four barrel Holly carb. The motor has less than 2K miles. It has a lot of power and quick response. The truck also has a very good/strong 4 speed transmission. The clutch is still very strong and has a lot of life. The exhaust is all new and it sounds very good and turns a lot of heads. With power steering and disc brakes this truck is a blast to drive. It also has electric fans and all the lights work. It has a Ford 9" rear end that is very strong.
Body:
The body is painted in satin black (aka Matte Black). The body is pretty straight and it has a great look. I wanted the same look as the truck that was in the First Expendables Movie (I know that was a Ford truck but it still looked really cool). The body may not be perfect but it is still in very good shape. This truck is a great California truck so no rust issues. The bed is a new oak bed with new chrome bed strips. The under side of the truck is in great shape as well and the floors are solid. The battery has been relocated to the underside of the truck and the engine bay is very clean. The rims are American Racing Torque Thrust II 17" rims with beefy tires. The rims and tires are in great shape as well.
I do hold the title and it is clear and registered currently. This is a California Truck. I also do reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Please feel free to contact me at 916-262-6971 via text or telephone call if you have any further questions or follow up. My reserve for this truck is low compared to how much money I have invested.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
