Don't kick the tires. It runs, drives, and sounds just like a 1961 Chevrolet pickup. It has manual steering, manual brakes, and a truck 4 speed. It has dents as you can see in the pictures. Looks pretty good from 20 feet. This pickup goes down the road smoothly. It steers and brakes nicely and doesn't wander. I've put about a hundred miles on it testing it out. It runs very well, and sounds good, with dual exhaust, headers and a 650 Holley double pumper. Was told by previous owner that the engine is a 305. It will burn the tires if you wish to do so.
I will describe as best I can what it needs and defects as best I can. It has good solid floors and sheet metal. There is a small rust spot on the corner of the hood underneath on the right rear corner. Small rust spot on bottom corner of drivers door, and a hairline crack on the drivers floor. (see pictures). Other than that, the bottoms of the doors and everything else looks solid. It needs a carpet (or floor mat), Tires are about 50% . Looks like someone has removed a crossmember from the rear of the frame at one time. There is a hole cut in the dash for a stereo. I have it taped off. Gearshift lever has been shortened. Needs new window felt for side windows. Horn does not work. E-brake does not work. (needs cables). Someone pounded some dents in the drivers side header (don't know why).
It has a new windshield (small chip in it already), new door weatherstrips, and glovebox insert. All the lights work, and fuel gauge works. It has a posi rear end. I verified this by spinning the tires in gravel. Has low gears, about 2800 rpm at 60 mph. The previous owner said he put new rod and main bearings in the engine. It reads about 70 psi oil pressure cold and 35 hot at idle. The gauge is a cheap piece of junk, so I don't know how accurate that is.
I buy and sell old cars for a hobby, so there is no reason I'm getting rid of it. Just looking for something new. I don't know any history of this vehicle other than what was told to me by the previous owner. Please read my post carefully as I have described everything to the best of my knowledge. This is a very solid project vehicle that can be driven as is or restored to one's liking. Sold as is.There is no warranty on this vehicle and I do not guarantee anything on a 53 year old vehicle. It is a good vehicle for the mechanically inclined. Buyer pays shipping. I will consider delivery for a fee in a three hundred mile radius of Salem Oregon. Thanks and happy bidding.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
