What you are bidding on is a 1949 Chevy 5 window Pickup Truck with disc brakes, power steering, 4 speed transmission and a 383 stroker motor that not only looks cool but also drives like a beast.  This truck has more power than I know what to do with.  I will do my best to describe this truck and please feel free to contact me at anytime for questions regarding the truck.

Interior:

The interior of the truck is mostly new.  It has new custom black door panels, new custom black headliner, new black carpet with sound deadening material, etc.  Also, new door glass and new windshield glass.  The rear cab windows are original.  The seats are all power seats taken from a BMW and I believe they have more than 7 different power mechanisms that make it pretty comfortable to sit in.  The seats have little wear on the driverside, however no rips or tear and still very comfortable.  The dash is intact and is not all cut up.  It is still in very nice shape.  The heater and dash lights do work.  The speedometer does not work, however it has a pretty cool four gauge set up as you can see in the pics.  Also the gas, brake and clutch pedals are really cool looking for the style of truck.  The heater also works quite well.    

Powertrain:

The motor is a very strong running 383 stroker motor with a four barrel Holly carb.  The motor has less than 2K miles.  It has a lot of power and quick response.  The truck also has a very good/strong 4 speed transmission.  The clutch is still very strong and has a lot of life.  The exhaust is all new and it sounds very good and turns a lot of heads.  With power steering and disc brakes this truck is a blast to drive.  It also has electric fans and all the lights work.  It has a Ford 9" rear end that is very strong.     

Body:

The body is painted in satin black (aka Matte Black).  The body is pretty straight and it has a great look.  I wanted the same look as the truck that was in the First Expendables Movie (I know that was a Ford truck but it still looked really cool).  The body may not be perfect but it is still in very good shape.  This truck is a great California truck so no rust issues.  The bed is a new oak bed with new chrome bed strips.  The under side of the truck is in great shape as well and the floors are solid.  The battery has been relocated to the underside of the truck and the engine bay is very clean.   The rims are  American Racing Torque Thrust II 17" rims with beefy tires.  The rims and tires are in great shape as well. 

 

I do hold the title and it is clear and registered currently.  This is a California Truck.  I also do reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.  Please feel free to contact me at 916-262-6971 via text or telephone call if you have any further questions or follow up.  My reserve for this truck is low compared to how much money I have invested.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.   Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
