I bought this truck in 2010 on Ebay from a seller in Tennessee and had it trucked to Seattle. It was freshly restored and has accumulated 1300 miles since then. The VIN indicates that it was built in Atlanta in 1958.The following is a listing from the seller of what was included in the restoration. I have no reason to question anything he said.
- Chevy 350 rebuilt by Snakeman Automotive Machine Shop in Cleveland TN.
- Chrome: all new
- Glass: New windshield, rear window and side vents
- Electrical: New EZ wiring kit with modern fuse panel and high output 1 wire alternator.
- Weatherstripping and rubber: ;All new
- IDIDIT chrome tilt steering column.
- Custom Grant steering wheel
- Exhaust system: New dual exhaust system with aluminized pipes and new Flow Master muffler.
- Underside: Cleaned and painted but not to show quality.
- Exterior Paint: In the words of the restorer "You will not complain about the paint. It shines like a black diamond, has no dents or dings and is laser straight to look down the sides. We painted the truck with a high quality PPF base/clear coat paint. After paint we color sanded and buffed to a very high gloss. Most of the truck was media blasted, sealed and primed before paint."
- Guages: Shark by Dolphin.
- Seats: Leather and power
- A previous owner had reportedly installed a front clip from a 1984 Camaro. Disc brakes in front and drum in rear
The style of this RESTOMOD is clean and simple. All badges have been removed. The interior dashboard has been nicely clean and filled so there are no cut-outs for radio and heater. In fact, it had no heater or windshield wipers. I added a nice Raingear wiper unit with 2 speed intermittent delay. I also added a heater/windshield defroster. The controls ffor this were nicely positioned as shown in pictures. I also added proper side and rear view mirrors. At some point the original gas tank was removed from behind the seats and a new tank was relocated to the rear undercarriage. The filler is now on the truck bed. The truck does not have a parking brake.
Due to improper installation of the transmission by the restorer, I had it reconstructed to include a lock-up kit. It now has a cooler as well. Due to the cooler and heater/radiator hoses being connected to the radiator, The 10 bolt rear end was serviced and determined to have a gear ratio of 2.73 as compared to the original 3.9. This greatly improves the truck's driveability.
This is a very nice truck that is sure to please.
Please observe significant scratch in paint near left rear tail light. It came from my bike pedal, and I have chosen to leave it alone except for covering with touch up paint. Otherwise, the paint job is still as good since I bought it.

2015 Chevrolet Colorado GearOn Edition is ready to do that outdoorsy thing
Fri, Feb 13 2015Bikes, skis, kayaks... the Chevrolet Colorado GearOn is ready to accommodate all of them, thanks to a trip to the Bowtie's accessories catalog. The special edition Colorado features the basics of Chevy's GearOn accessories, including a bars package, bed divider and tie-down rings, which can be supplemented with other accessories to haul all manner of outdoor equipment. Beyond that, though, Chevy has fitted a few other items to lift up the Colorado's styling, including gloss-black 18-inch wheels, black Bowtie emblems, a body-color grille, off-road assist steps and front foglights. It's a tidy little update to the compact truck's still-fresh styling. Check it out in our full gallery of live images, direct from the Chicago Auto Show.

GM drops price of Spark EV to $25,995; lease to $139/month
Tue, Apr 14 2015The drive to lower EV prices continues. GM announced today that the base model 2015 Chevy Spark EV 1LT would get a price cut to $25,995. That's $1,500 less than it used to be but the bigger news might be the lowered lease price. Instead of $199 a month, all that Chevy is asking for to get you into an all-electric Spark now is $139 a month (39 months, with no money due at signing), down from the 36-month, $199-a-month lease cost with a $999 down payment. Sadly, the number of states where the Spark EV can be bought is almost as small as the lease payment: the car is available only in California, Oregon and Maryland (well, Maryland won't be ready until the summer). GM is doing more than just lowering the MSRP. On top of the federal and state tax incentives available, GM is offering bonus cash in all three states ($1,000 in California, $1,200 in Maryland, and $3,500 in Oregon). If you're wondering why those numbers vary so much, take a look at the already-available state EV incentives in play: California offers $2,500 and Maryland $2,300. Somehow, they all balance out. If you do some addition with the $7,500 federal tax credit, you see that the Spark EV can be had for $11,000 off the MSRP no matter where you buy. If you qualify for everything, $14,995 is a darn good deal for an EV, especially one as fun as the Spark.

Depending on an individual's tax situation, the Spark EV is eligible for federal tax credit up to $7,500. "Chevrolet is committed to making EV driving more accessible, affordable and fun" said Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet Car and Crossover Marketing. "The Spark EV is already the most efficient – and one of the most affordable – EVs you can buy. 2015 Spark EV customers will benefit from an impressive blend of technology, capability and low cost of ownership, now at an even more impressive price." California and Maryland Spark EV owners may also qualify for a $2,500 California state rebate or $2,300 Maryland excise tax exemption. Additional Chevrolet bonus cash is also available: $1,000 in California, $1,200 in Maryland, and $3,500 in Oregon. After full federal and state tax credits and Chevrolet bonus cash, the Spark EV could be as low as $14,995.
