For your consideration is a 1955 (registered as a 1959) Chevy Panel truck. This is actually a 1959 body with a 1955 front end. This truck has alot of cool features. It has independent front suspension with power steering, disc brakes, new tilt steering column, vintage AC, new motor that has just had the cam broke in, new edelbrock carb, new distributor, new serpintine pulley set with new water pump,alternator,power steering pump,new AC compressor, new front shocks, new painless wiring,keyless rear entry, custom roll pan and rear door, 4 wheel disc brakes,fresh paint, custom built gas tank,flowmaster exhaust system, new instrument cluster, new rear end bearing and seals, there is probably more things i'm missing, but to sum it all up , one cool old truck. It will need a new fuel gauge and a new speedo cable. The turbo 350 transmission has maybe 5000 miles on it. This truck was driven from Seattle Wa, to Lafayette La and then stored for sometime before I had it painted. The paint isn't the best , but not the worst. I would say 7/10 but who am I. The shop that did it also did the build. Of course they went out of business and stole some parts and so much for warranty work right. Anyways I feel she is ready to be driven. I have it insured for $38,000. The AC blows cold. I have driven it in the neighborhood and she seems good. I have a file of tech data and a box with some odds and ends. I recently bought a car on ebay, paid top dollar for it, and was very upset when it arrived. I would say come out and check her out because I want everybody to be happy. I can store it in a garage until shipping can be arranged. All lights, emergency flashers, and horn work. Again this truck hasn't been driven daily for a few years and like most old cars some tinkering should be expected. The truck has been Dyno matted and the floor from front to back has been rhino lined. It has a new grey carpet kit installed. There is an old 60's era power bench seat installed. Not my favorite but hey. New wiper motor and all parts. I cannot believe I'm selling my baby. I have some kids now and feel I need a classic car with rear seats so they can enjoy it also. The truck is for sale locally so the sell can end at anytime. This vehicle is sold AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY. Feel free to contact me with any questions. 206 940 9731. Thanks. This truck has a low reserve (I think) .The flame job and pinstriping looks awesome.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
