Don't kick the tires. It runs, drives, and sounds just like a 1961 Chevrolet pickup. It has manual steering, manual brakes, and a truck 4 speed. It has dents as you can see in the pictures. Looks pretty good from 20 feet. This pickup goes down the road smoothly. It steers and brakes nicely and doesn't wander. I've put about a hundred miles on it testing it out. It runs very well, and sounds good, with dual exhaust, headers and a 650 Holley double pumper. Was told by previous owner that the engine is a 305. It will burn the tires if you wish to do so.
I will describe as best I can what it needs and defects as best I can. It has good solid floors and sheet metal. There is a small rust spot on the corner of the hood underneath on the right rear corner. Small rust spot on bottom corner of drivers door, and a hairline crack on the drivers floor. (see pictures). Other than that, the bottoms of the doors and everything else looks solid. It needs a carpet (or floor mat), Tires are about 50% . Looks like someone has removed a crossmember from the rear of the frame at one time. There is a hole cut in the dash for a stereo. I have it taped off. Gearshift lever has been shortened. Needs new window felt for side windows. Horn does not work. E-brake does not work. (needs cables). Someone pounded some dents in the drivers side header (don't know why).
It has a new windshield (small chip in it already), new door weatherstrips, and glovebox insert. All the lights work, and fuel gauge works. It has a posi rear end. I verified this by spinning the tires in gravel. Has low gears, about 2800 rpm at 60 mph. The previous owner said he put new rod and main bearings in the engine. It reads about 70 psi oil pressure cold and 35 hot at idle. The gauge is a cheap piece of junk, so I don't know how accurate that is.
I buy and sell old cars for a hobby, so there is no reason I'm getting rid of it. Just looking for something new. I don't know any history of this vehicle other than what was told to me by the previous owner. Please read my post carefully as I have described everything to the best of my knowledge. This is a very solid project vehicle that can be driven as is or restored to one's liking. Sold as is.There is no warranty on this vehicle and I do not guarantee anything on a 53 year old vehicle. It is a good vehicle for the mechanically inclined. Buyer pays shipping. I will consider delivery for a fee in a three hundred mile radius of Salem Oregon. Thanks and happy bidding.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
