YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1955 CHEVROLET 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR IN PRETTY MUCH OFF THE FARM CONDITION. I PLANNED TO USE IT AROUND THE FARM AND MAKE A SUPPLY RUN NOW AND THEN. WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IT HAD A MISS ON NUMBER 5 CYLINDER, A LATE MODEL SEAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED AND A ROTTED OUT PIECE OF PLYWOOD WAS IN THE BED. I HAD A VALVE JOB PERFORMED AND REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK SINCE FALL LIKE THAT. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD THE LOWER END OF THE ENGINE OVERHAULED BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS JUST USING TO MUCH OIL. THE ENGINE HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AND RUNS GREAT. IT RUNS GREAT NOW AND HAS PLENTY OF POWER. I HAVE SPENT $4,300 JUST IN THE MOTOR. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ORIGINAL 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH THE SHIFT ON THE COLUMN. THE REAR END IS THE ORIGINAL GEARING AND HAS BEEN RESEALED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD GONE THROUGH THE BRAKES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE CABLES FOR PROPER OPERATION. I HAVE PURCHASED THE CORRECT SEAT AND HAD THE FRAME PAINTED AND RECOVERED. IT ADJUST AND LEANS FORWARD AS DESIGNED. I REPAINTED THE CAB AND THE FLOOR DID HAVE SOME RUST AND WAS FILLED AND PAINTED. ALL THE SEALS FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL, CLUTCH, SHIFTER AND SUCH HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NEW FIREWALL PAD AND FLOOR MAT INSTALLED. THIS IS NOT A FRAME OFF RESTORATION. I WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN A NICE SOLID TRUCK TO DRIVE. THE TAILGATE WAS MISSING, THE SIDE STEPS ON BED RUSTED OUT AND FRONT PANEL OF BED VERY BENT. I INSTALLED BOTH NEW SIDE STEPS, FRONT BED PANEL AND TAILGATE AND LIKED THE COLOR SO THE REST OF THE TRUCK WAS PAINTED A SATIN BLACK. THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY DARK GREEN AND THE FIREWALL AND RIMS ARE PAINTED DARK GREEN. I USED SOME OLD RECYCLED FLOOR BOARDS FOR THE BED. IT IS TONGE AND GROOVE AND IS HELD DOWN WITH CARRIAGE BOLTS. THE REST OF THE BODY PANELS WERE FILLED AND THE WORST OF THE DENTS SMOOTHED OUT SOME. FOR A SHOW TRUCK YOU WILL WANT TO REPLACE THE FENDERS AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. DON'T BRING A MAGNET. I KNOW THERE IS PUTTY. THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE SIDE WINDOW AND REAR WINDOW MAY BE ORIGINAL. THE TRUCK HAS A STANDARD HEATER AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR. THE DASH HAD BEEN CUT OUT FOR A MORE MODERN RADIO. A TRIM BEZEL HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND A STATE OF THE ART AM/FM RADIO. THE RADIO HAD A CD FEATURE BUT DOES NOT WORK. TWO SPEAKERS ARE MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH. I HAVE INSTALLED A TURN SIGNAL SWITCH ON THE COLUMN AND HAVE REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHTS AND FROM PARKING LIGHTS FOR SINGLE LIGHT TURN, PARKING AND BRAKE LIGHTS. ON THE OUTSIDE, THE LIGHTS APPEAR ORIGINAL. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 2,046 MILES BUT THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ODOMETER. I PURCHASED THE SPEEDOMETER USED LAST YEAR. ALL THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING THE DOME LIGHT. THE TWO FRONT TIRES ARE NEW BUT THE REAR TIRES ARE SOME OLDER SNOW TIRES THAT WERE ON THE TRUCK WHEN I GOT IT. THERE IS A JACK AND LUG WRENCH BEHIND THE SEAT BUT I DO NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE. I HAVE A RIM THAT HAS A LARGE HOLE RUSTED IN IT THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE. I DRIVE IT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK NOW AND THEN WHICH IS A 24 MILE ROUND TRIP AND IS A BALL TO DRIVE. I HAVE A BARN ON THE FARM THAT NEEDS MY IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND FUNDS SO I RELUCTANTLY OFFER THE TRUCK FOR SALE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE THE TRUCK AWAY BUT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I WILL BE HAPPY TO DELIVER THE TRUCK FREE FOR A 200 MILE RADIUS FROM FREDERICK, MARYLAND.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
