1959 Chevy Fleetside Long Bed on 2040-cars
Baldwin Park, California, United States
|
For sale is this 59 Fleetside. Into patina, ratrod or vintage? Here you go. Looking for that black liquid looking paint job, this isnt far away. No major body panels/sheet work needed.1 small hole near bottom of driver door,1 small hole near bottom of passengers door. One 3 inch circle on lower left driver's door. And the sunroof that someone thought was a good idea to install. Maybe so, just not my style. rest of sheetmetal in really solid condition. This a California truck. Couple little patches in the floorboard but very very solid overall, no Fred Flinstone style braking. Footsteps solid, inside rear corners, behind seat, all around gas tank solid. All metal bed rails present & mostly all straight. Even banged up, twisted, rusty, bent, rails are hard to find. Surface rust of course but will try to sand those down & hit with primer before it's sold. It has a mid 70's 307 chevy V8 engine, powerglide automatic transmission, nice sounding dual exhaust, nothing too loud, just nice throaty. It has a Camaro front clip which adds power steering and power brake, disc brakes, better shocks. Mid 90's tilt steering wheel ( will make driving positions more flexible) The front clip was welded onto existing frame, so frame isn't hacked up, no structural integrity lost. Front clip = better steering, braking,smoother ride from mid 70's shocks system versus original 59 suspension. Also, parts are much easier/cheaper to find for mid 70's engine and 80's camaro front clip versus 59 chevy parts. The engine runs strong, kicks right over, sounds really good with the dual exhaust. The shocks need replacing and steering fine tuned. Original turn signals kept & work. Doors seams line up nicely and doors close solid. Emblems,, I have the front side emblems, hood emblem and rear bed " Fleetside " emblems, you will need a new bench seat. It has one there but its beat up . I have 3 extra side quarter windows, the original steering wheel and wipers. And yes, current clear California registration, pink in hand, valid to Jan 2015... I have a perfect ebay rating and plan on keeping it that way so you can bid with confidence. I am selling the truck locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you live in the Los Angeles area, you are more that welcome, and encouraged to come check it out in person. Buyer is responsible for any transportation. You can email me and I can help set something up for you. UPDATE!! I UPDATE! UPDATE!! I had a few requests on info/pics on under carriage. I jacked up the truck and took a bunch of pics. I also took a couple short videos of the engine turning over. I have already sent them to those who requested. If you also want more pics,videos, send me your email and I'll pass them on to you as well. |

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
