We are a small, family owned business, and have been in the same location for over 15 years. We are a bonded dealership, and are licensed to buy, sell and trade any kind of motor vehicle. Fair deals and honesty have brought us many return customers. We are now expanding our market into the world wide web. Personally, I have been involved with the auto industry since the early 70's. If it has wheels or floats, I like it. Muscle cars, Jeeps, Harleys, sport bikes, boats of many makes, motorhomes, atv's, etc. We have bought and sold them all!
Here is a 1972 Chevrolet 4X4 that I bought awhile ago to restore, but health issues (and old age) are forcing me to let some of my projects go. This truck was purchased from the original owners daughter, who had it sitting behind the barn since her dad passed away in 1982. It appears to be all original and unmolested, except for the drivers door. The story is the door got left open and caught on some farm equipment that bent it. A used one was installed, but the original is still in the back.
There is some surface rust on the hood, and the rockers need replaced, but all in all, it's still a very straight and solid truck.
I towed it home, dumped some fresh gas in, and it started right up. Amazing! Smells like rotten gas burning but actually runs better than it should. I drove it around the block, (very slowly), as the old bias tires are so flat on one side it about hopped off the road. They are weather checked and cracked. I cant believe they still hold air.
Here I am writing a novel. Sorry. Its a 1\2 ton, six lug, 350 cu.in. four speed trans, with high range low range transfer case, and manual locking hubs. It does run and drive, but in its present condition, not very far or fast. It will definitely pull itself up on a transport. I believe it is all original, with 53k miles. It needs totally restored, and has been sitting for over 30 years. Sold as-is,where-is, but will assist your shipper, or perhaps bring it to your doorstep for an agreed on fee. 
These trucks are worth a small fortune when done. This one would be a great father son\daughter project. 
Please call John or Connie  at 435 884 1040 with any ?? or email of course. I can take pictures of any part you would like to look at. In person inspection is welcome and encouraged. We can supply copies of any documents you may need. Shipping is the buyers responsibility, but we will assist if we can. Sometimes we do delivery in the western states right to your door for an agreed on fee.
0 feedback bidders please call before bidding. Very low reserve.  Thanks for looking! Bid to win!

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

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 won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
