Hello,

 

“Stinky” - MYBAD68 – The finest most Gorgeous Truck you will ever find!

 

Why the name “Stinky” you ask? I have a friend of mine who is a professional pin stripper and painter who hand paint the stripping and graphics you see on my truck, the name “Stinky” on the cowl hood, the” PEPE LE PEW” skunk on the tail gate and the dice by the door handles. When I first got the truck it had a gasoline smell that I just couldn’t seem to find or get rid of. I replaced everything I could think of even taking the custom Boyd gas tank down 3 times replacing everything, resealing everything but it still smelled like gasoline. My wife got in the habit of calling it “Stinky” and the name just stuck. I finally replaced all the fuel injected gas lines and pump with all new and that ended up being the problem, no more gas smell but he is still known as “stinky”! Hence the name “Stinky” on the custom cowl hood and the custom hand painted “PePe Le Pew” on the tail gate! I also had him add some custom dice to the outside of the 2 doors. All the hand painted items can be removed easily if the new owner doesn’t like them.

 

 Up for auction is “Stinky” my “BAD” 1968 Chevy customized 1/2 ton short bed pickup truck. It had a fresh complete frame off restoration just a couple of years ago. Everything has been replaced and up-graded. I have a large 3 ring binder showing the restoration project from start to finish. It is painted a BEAUTIFUL Corvette “Lemans” blue color and has tan leather folding bucket seats out of a new 2012 Odyssey and tan and brown leatherette interior, headliner and door panels. It has a 5.3L Vortex fuel injected engine with the matching automatic 460 transmission and all the computer hook ups that came out of a newer GMC truck with only 10,000 miles on it. It has a custom billet “TILT” steering wheel with matching color padding.  The truck has been lowered 2" in the front and 4" in the rear. It has new tires and “BOSS” mag rims with power disc brakes all the way around, the exterior has been shaved and smoothed and all the trim pieces have been removed. The bed area is just as beautiful as the exterior painted the same color with a rubber bed mat and even has a lockable safe in the bed for your valuables or guns, etc. I just finished putting in power windows and a Bulldog remote “TALKING” security alarm system. I also just installed a new flip touch screen DVD/CD AM/FM IPod stereo player that you can leave flipped out or hidden in the dash, with a hidden powered antenna. The stereo system has 6 speakers with an amplifier system. The underneath portion of this truck is also completed painted and finished off. Stinky has flow master forty series dual exhaust run to the rear of the truck with chrome tips, the sound is incredible! Stinky is really fast but yet gets great gas mileage with the newer vortex engine. It has a new custom cowl hood and all new instrument gauges by Auto-Meter, Pro-Comp, Ultralight. It has new Vintage air conditioning and heat with the vents cut and installed in the dash. Custom Billet instrument gauge bezel and matching Billet glove box door. I also just installed new Euro crystal headlights with 7” amber LED aux lights in the seal beam and a new BI-XENON HID kit for super neat brightness (these really look cool and do a great job lighting things up). I have new LED front amber indicator lights and all side lights have been shaved and recessed for a clean look. Truck has all the windows tinted with a chrome / billet rear view mirror with matching blue flames. It also has brand new swan neck chrome / billet hot rod outside door mirrors. Everything is finished and completed on this beauty!

Stinky also has hot jet coated headers and the engine compartment is fully painted and customized!

 

Stinky has always been garage kept and been maintained by professional classic car mechanics. I have all the records and receipts for the things I have done. I have a clear title with no problems.

I have only entered it in one car show here locally and it took first place and I will include the trophy with the sale. It drives and handles like a beauty. The truck only had approximately 900 miles on the rebuild when I purchased it and it only has 1650 miles on it now as indicated by the odometer. Has a new steel bed painted the same color and a custom Gaylord fiberglass matching bed topper with underneath lights.

 

I have tried to list all the extra options and added parts but it literally has just about everything and I am sure I have missed a few things. No dings, scratches, dents rust or other problems. There are no disappointments with this truck, you will be extremely happy with it. This is a classic and extreme care has been taken to make sure it got the very best of everything however it is a 1968 that has been rebuilt and there is no warranty. When you buy it you will be buying it “as is”, “where is” and the buyer will be responsible for transportation and or pick up. I will expect a non-refundable deposit of $1,000.00 through PayPal or in cash or direct bank deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction. The remainder amount will be due within 5 working days and before the truck is picked up. I will only take cash or a direct bank deposit into my banking account for the balance.

The truck is available for inspection by calling me and making arrangements. The truck is also for sale here locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it does not reach the reserve price or it sells locally.

 

Any questions or concerns please contact me through EBay or call my cell number; 928-205-8238 (Terry)

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
