Umatilla, Florida, United States

1949 Chevy truck.  Shortbed 3100 on a 1994 Silverado Frame.  Truck has power steering, tilt column, power brakes, front disc brakes.  New shocks, 350 chevy engine with Holley 600 four barrell carb.  Steel headers and dual exhaust ran to the rear of the cab with two thrush mufflers.  This truck runs and drives great. The frame and drivetrain came out of a silverado with less than 80k miles on it.  Runs like a bear! Has new aluminum radiator with electric fan.  AC compressor is still on the engine for anyone who wants to add air. The frame swap was done right.  As you can see in the pics, the truck has a ton of new parts.  Im not going to go through and make a list.  Has all new glass and rubbers, upgraded to electric windshield wiper motor.  Has bi-xenon headlights.  All the lights work including turn signals. Seat is newly recovered with genuine leather  The dash has been customized to fit a kenwood dvd/ navigation stereo.  It is not currently installed or included.  Rear speakers are wired and installed.  I can include and install the stereo/gps for an additional $550 if the buyer choses to do so.  Paint is only a few months old. Color is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl. Its a great looking paint job, but it is not show quality or flawless.  Bed rails and bed floor are stained and varnished oak.  Wheels are 15 inch with new tires. Has new gauges that are all operational including electronic speedometer.  I have only put a few miles on the truck as of today, but I will be driving it all week to work out any possible small problems like squeaks or rattles.  Right now the truck needs a few minor details to be taken care of including front end alignment, carb adjustment (new), and some detailing.  Any questions, call me at 570-299-1755.  Truck has a clear 1949 FL title in my name ready for transfer.  I would consider a partial trade on a 1930-1954 chevy truck project with cash.  Nothing else.  This is a big boy toy, so check with your wife, your mother, your dog, or whoever you need to before you bid.  Call me with any reasonable offers, but dont call me to ask how much I want.  

I can help arrange transport if needed.  

My pics were taken while the truck was still a little dusty and dirty.  I will get more on during the auction


On Apr-22-14 at 13:00:00 PDT, seller added the following information:

I added a few more pics now that the truck is clean.  Had a front end alignment done today and drove it around to get a few more miles on it.  Ive had a ton of questions about the truck.  The frame is a complete frame swap.  Not a partial clip.  Its a full size shortbed 94 silverado under the 49 body.  It drives just like a 94 silverado.  It drives great.  It needs a few small things to be complete.  Nothing major.  It needs carpet.  Right now the floor is sprayed with truck bedliner and mostly covered with sound deadening material as you can see in the pics.  The drivers window rolls up and down but it needs adjustment, or a new regulator.  It works but its a little grumpy.  I have a few people coming by for test drives tomorrow and Thurs.  I will likely have the truck at the Good Guys show in Kissimmee FL on friday or saturday.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
