Meet Miss Libby, a 1956 Chevy 3200 pickup which started it's life as an IGA delivery store truck in Champion Nebraska. I purchased the truck at a tractor auction several years ago. At that time the lettering on the doors was still ledgeable although fading. The truck was running and we drove it home. After some serious consideration we decided to enhance the existing lettering and at that time we changed the original name to Libby's IGA after my granddaughter. With the exception of the roof and visor we left the original paint in tact and painted the roof and visor white along with a little tasteful pin stripping. The bed is as we found it except we applied 10 coats of polyurethane on the wood and clear coated the bed sides. We added a new oak rack, the S&H green stamp sign and the 7up sign in the bed. The original seat was recovered and the rest of the interior left as we found it. This truck still has it's original engine and 4 speed transmission as well as it's original shocks. The underside of the truck was steam cleaned and painted however we did not attempt to clean the engine and tranny. We replaced the exhaust, windshield, radiator, belts, and hoses. 4 new B.F. Goodrich Silver town bias ply wide whites were added along with new hubcaps and vintage trim rings painted red. We rebuilt the carburator, replaced the headliner and visors. As you can imagine this truck gets lots of attention and appeared on the front page of the Bellevue, Ohio Gazette in June of this year. The truck runs great, shifts fine, all lights and turn signals work as do all the gauges, horn, wipers, and heater. The speedometer was disconected when we got it and the odometer is not working so the true mileage is unknown. The rear pig has a small leak and the engine leaks when the truck sets and it does burn a little oil. The licence plates, tag toppers and wooden box in the bed are not included in this auction.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
