Purchased the truck on Ebay in June 2007 near Las Vegas, Nevada.  The seller claimed his grandfather bought the truck new in Vegas. Flew out, replaced the radiator, hoses, belts, changed the oil and headed east. The truck ran like a dream until a tire delaminated in Missouri, eating the passenger inner fender.  


Upon return home, replaced the inner fender, repaired the windshield track, replaced a rocker and had the truck painted on the lower white area.  I had intended to rebuild the engine and trans but this truck ran and runs so well, I couldn't see the point.  Engine is real strong, doesn't smoke or use a significant amount of oil. I have purposely left the engine compartment unrestored to demonstrate to a future buyer that this truck is original and unmolested.   The seller claimed the original engine had been rebuilt and the trans replaced with a rebuilt unit sometime in the last decade.

The only modifications from stock are the addition of headers (I still have the manifolds), a stainless Magnaflow exhaust, door speakers (the holes were already cut) and a modern I-pod ready stereo made to look original.  Everything in the interior is all new.  

I have used this truck as a daily summertime driver and have stored it in a heated garage.  Every year I picked something to improve and did it.  This is a super clean original, unmolested truck.  I would head for the west coast tomorrow in this truck without fear.  I hate to sell it but time to free up space for other toys.  I suspect I will wake up 5 years from now and regret selling this truck.

The paint is 75%.  The hood is very slightly faded (I assume from the desert sun) but I'm sure it would buff out with a power buffer (I don't own one).  Other than one rocker (replaced) the only rust was on the kick panels in the cab.  This has been recently repaired and the cab floor painted.  All the trim has been replaced, windshield is new, shocks new, body mounts new.  The tires are 90%.

Truck is equipped with:  Power steering, Manual brakes (work well and stops straight), A/C (doesn't blow cold but it's all there) and a built in tool box.  I couldn't find replacement locking mechanism for the toolbox, so I fabricated an arrangement that looks original from the outside.   The bed is unrestored because I still occasionally use this truck as a truck.  The bed is dinged and chipped some but there are no rust holes of any sort.

Comes with all of the original stuff I've replaced and a set of chrome wheels with "moon" hubcaps that came on the truck.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
