I have a very nice, above average 1968 Chevy pick-up listed for auction.   This truck has had literally thousands of dollars and countless man hours spent on the resto-mod restoration of this truck.  I call it restomod, because it is not 100% original.   It has new black paint with every piece of new chrome on it, new emblems, wipers, new bed floor, wheel tubs,  cowl induction hood, custom seat cover, door panels, visors, glovebox, gauges, carpet, window cranks, door handles, dash pad, lighter,  alternator, brake lines, wheel cylinders, shoes,  window felts, both inner and outer, glass run, weatherstrip, windshield, inspection.......the list goes on and on....   All the lights work, heat and defrost work also.  The truck has a .030 over 350, flat top pistons, "double hump" 300 h.p. heads, aluminum intake, holley carb, hei distributor, headers, flowmasters that  have about 12,000 miles on them.  It does not smoke or rattle at all and runs great with no problems.   I drive the truck regularly, so the mileage will change.  It has an aluminum case, 3-speed manual floor shift transmission that shifts smooth and quiet with no problems.  The truck is geared low, I would guess at least 3:73 or maybe lower.  It does not have a positive traction rear end, if you gas it hard it will break loose spinning with 1 tire only.  The truck is smooth on the road, drives good, runs good and looks good.  I would not be afraid to start anywhere on this truck.  I have a set of old school round bed rails, vent visors, tail-gate guard, unity spot light and cowl vent that is already cut and painted that will go with the truck also.  I don't think you can find a nicer, more dependable truck for the reserve that is on this one.  I will be glad to answer any questions that  you may have.  My feedback score reflects that I operate with honesty and integrity and I want to keep it that way.   I have owned this truck for awhile and driven it regularly.  I know it is in good condition and ready to go with no known problems at all.   I reserve the right to end the auction early.  The  truck is for sale locally.   Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.


On Nov-20-13 at 11:25:49 PST, seller added the following information:

The truck has 15X10 corvette style rally wheels all the way around with 275x60x15 T/A Radials.  It has the old style "police" center caps with wide wheel  bands.   The tires have 50 to 60% tread left on them.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General 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.
