This is a pro-street, street rod unfinished project. It has what appears to be a professionally built custom frame with a Volare style front suspension set up with disc brakes. The rear is a narrowed Ford 9" non-posi unit with a smoothed housing and drum brakes.

The cab is in great condition. If there was ever any rust, it appears to have been repaired. The truck currently has a Wisconsin title, but it shows that it was previously titled in California. The VIN shows that it was built at the Oakland plant. The fiberglass Cameo sides appear to be in very good condition. I do not see any signs of damage or repair done to them. The metal portion of the box has been cut up. It could either be replaced with a different unit or repaired. The metal box needs to be tubed to accommodate the narrowed rear end. There is no tailgate included, however the fiberglass Cameo tailgate cover is included.

There is a new "in the box" wiring harness included with the truck. (See photo.) The truck is temporarily wired to allow it to start and drive. The front and rear glass is installed and appears to be in good condition. There is new door glass included along with the window regulators. The window tracks and other window hardware is missing. The Cameo tail lights are included, they are painted. New tail light lenses are included. There is no Cameo rear bumper, but there is a set of after-market fiberglass outer bumper reproductions.

There is a newer bench seat sitting in the truck. The bench seat is from a different year of truck and is not mounted but could possibly be used or retro-fitted. A gauge cluster is included. I am not sure if it is original to the truck. There is a newer GM tilt column installed. There are no knobs, no switches, no heater controls and no other dash parts, etc... included.

The truck has a small block GM V-8, I am not sure of the cubic inch displacement of the motor. There is a GM automatic transmission installed. The motor and transmission have some leaks. I don't know if this is from sitting or some other cause. At minimum some new gaskets probably need to be installed. The truck starts and yard drives. The motor seems to run decent. I have no knowledge about the condition or history of the motor or transmission.

Everything included is shown in photos, EXCEPT I forgot to photograph the front inner fenders. They are included and appear to be in good shape. They need to be sandblasted and painted, but I do not see any rust or collision damage on them. None of the stainless or chrome trim is included.

I do not know the history of this truck. It was painted and the front was partially primed. I am not sure why.

This is being sold AS-IS and I encourage interested parties to view the truck prior to bidding. Please e mail me with any questions or concerns prior to bidding.

These trucks bring big bucks when finished.

This truck will need to be trailered

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
