I bought this truck in 2010 on Ebay from a seller in Tennessee and had it trucked to Seattle. It was freshly restored and has accumulated 1300 miles since then. The VIN indicates that it was built in Atlanta in 1958.The following is a listing from the seller of what was included in the restoration. I have no reason to question anything he said.
- Chevy 350 rebuilt by Snakeman Automotive Machine Shop in Cleveland TN.
- Chrome: all new
- Glass: New windshield, rear window and side vents
- Electrical: New EZ wiring kit with modern fuse panel and high output 1 wire alternator.
- Weatherstripping and rubber: ;All new
- IDIDIT chrome tilt steering column.
- Custom Grant steering wheel
- Exhaust system: New dual exhaust system with aluminized pipes and new Flow Master muffler.
- Underside: Cleaned and painted but not to show quality.
- Exterior Paint: In the words of the restorer "You will not complain about the paint. It shines like a black diamond, has no dents or dings and is laser straight to look down the sides. We painted the truck with a high quality PPF base/clear coat paint. After paint we color sanded and buffed to a very high gloss. Most of the truck was media blasted, sealed and primed before paint."
- Guages: Shark by Dolphin.
- Seats: Leather and power
- A previous owner had reportedly installed a front clip from a 1984 Camaro. Disc brakes in front and drum in rear
The style of this RESTOMOD is clean and simple. All badges have been removed. The interior dashboard has been nicely clean and filled so there are no cut-outs for radio and heater. In fact, it had no heater or windshield wipers. I added a nice Raingear wiper unit with 2 speed intermittent delay. I also added a heater/windshield defroster. The controls ffor this were nicely positioned as shown in pictures. I also added proper side and rear view mirrors. At some point the original gas tank was removed from behind the seats and a new tank was relocated to the rear undercarriage. The filler is now on the truck bed. The truck does not have a parking brake.
Due to improper installation of the transmission by the restorer, I had it reconstructed to include a lock-up kit. It now has a cooler as well. Due to the cooler and heater/radiator hoses being connected to the radiator, The 10 bolt rear end was serviced and determined to have a gear ratio of 2.73 as compared to the original 3.9. This greatly improves the truck's driveability.
This is a very nice truck that is sure to please.
Please observe significant scratch in paint near left rear tail light. It came from my bike pedal, and I have chosen to leave it alone except for covering with touch up paint. Otherwise, the paint job is still as good since I bought it.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
