Hello,

 

“Stinky” - MYBAD68 – The finest most Gorgeous Truck you will ever find!

 

Why the name “Stinky” you ask? I have a friend of mine who is a professional pin stripper and painter who hand paint the stripping and graphics you see on my truck, the name “Stinky” on the cowl hood, the” PEPE LE PEW” skunk on the tail gate and the dice by the door handles. When I first got the truck it had a gasoline smell that I just couldn’t seem to find or get rid of. I replaced everything I could think of even taking the custom Boyd gas tank down 3 times replacing everything, resealing everything but it still smelled like gasoline. My wife got in the habit of calling it “Stinky” and the name just stuck. I finally replaced all the fuel injected gas lines and pump with all new and that ended up being the problem, no more gas smell but he is still known as “stinky”! Hence the name “Stinky” on the custom cowl hood and the custom hand painted “PePe Le Pew” on the tail gate! I also had him add some custom dice to the outside of the 2 doors. All the hand painted items can be removed easily if the new owner doesn’t like them.

 

 Up for auction is “Stinky” my “BAD” 1968 Chevy customized 1/2 ton short bed pickup truck. It had a fresh complete frame off restoration just a couple of years ago. Everything has been replaced and up-graded. I have a large 3 ring binder showing the restoration project from start to finish. It is painted a BEAUTIFUL Corvette “Lemans” blue color and has tan leather folding bucket seats out of a new 2012 Odyssey and tan and brown leatherette interior, headliner and door panels. It has a 5.3L Vortex fuel injected engine with the matching automatic 460 transmission and all the computer hook ups that came out of a newer GMC truck with only 10,000 miles on it. It has a custom billet “TILT” steering wheel with matching color padding.  The truck has been lowered 2" in the front and 4" in the rear. It has new tires and “BOSS” mag rims with power disc brakes all the way around, the exterior has been shaved and smoothed and all the trim pieces have been removed. The bed area is just as beautiful as the exterior painted the same color with a rubber bed mat and even has a lockable safe in the bed for your valuables or guns, etc. I just finished putting in power windows and a Bulldog remote “TALKING” security alarm system. I also just installed a new flip touch screen DVD/CD AM/FM IPod stereo player that you can leave flipped out or hidden in the dash, with a hidden powered antenna. The stereo system has 6 speakers with an amplifier system. The underneath portion of this truck is also completed painted and finished off. Stinky has flow master forty series dual exhaust run to the rear of the truck with chrome tips, the sound is incredible! Stinky is really fast but yet gets great gas mileage with the newer vortex engine. It has a new custom cowl hood and all new instrument gauges by Auto-Meter, Pro-Comp, Ultralight. It has new Vintage air conditioning and heat with the vents cut and installed in the dash. Custom Billet instrument gauge bezel and matching Billet glove box door. I also just installed new Euro crystal headlights with 7” amber LED aux lights in the seal beam and a new BI-XENON HID kit for super neat brightness (these really look cool and do a great job lighting things up). I have new LED front amber indicator lights and all side lights have been shaved and recessed for a clean look. Truck has all the windows tinted with a chrome / billet rear view mirror with matching blue flames. It also has brand new swan neck chrome / billet hot rod outside door mirrors. Everything is finished and completed on this beauty!

Stinky also has hot jet coated headers and the engine compartment is fully painted and customized!

 

Stinky has always been garage kept and been maintained by professional classic car mechanics. I have all the records and receipts for the things I have done. I have a clear title with no problems.

I have only entered it in one car show here locally and it took first place and I will include the trophy with the sale. It drives and handles like a beauty. The truck only had approximately 900 miles on the rebuild when I purchased it and it only has 1650 miles on it now as indicated by the odometer. Has a new steel bed painted the same color and a custom Gaylord fiberglass matching bed topper with underneath lights.

 

I have tried to list all the extra options and added parts but it literally has just about everything and I am sure I have missed a few things. No dings, scratches, dents rust or other problems. There are no disappointments with this truck, you will be extremely happy with it. This is a classic and extreme care has been taken to make sure it got the very best of everything however it is a 1968 that has been rebuilt and there is no warranty. When you buy it you will be buying it “as is”, “where is” and the buyer will be responsible for transportation and or pick up. I will expect a non-refundable deposit of $1,000.00 through PayPal or in cash or direct bank deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction. The remainder amount will be due within 5 working days and before the truck is picked up. I will only take cash or a direct bank deposit into my banking account for the balance.

The truck is available for inspection by calling me and making arrangements. The truck is also for sale here locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it does not reach the reserve price or it sells locally.

 

Any questions or concerns please contact me through EBay or call my cell number; 928-205-8238 (Terry)

Chevy murders out Trax crossover with new Midnight Edition

Sun, Dec 27 2015

Leaning towards a new Chevy Trax, but think it needs a little bit more attitude? Chevy has you covered with the release of the new Midnight Edition. It's based on the Bowtie brand's smallest crossover, but injects some extra style with its murdered-out treatment. The new Chevy Trax Midnight Edition is based on the top LTZ trim, and upgrades with black wheels, bezels, molding, door handles, and more. Inside, the cabin is adorned with gray-accented seats and gray-piped floor mats. It isn't a huge transformation, but may be just the dose of attitude that Chevy's little crossover needs. Otherwise it's the same Trax introduced a year ago, and comes equipped with a 1.4-liter turbo four good for 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. It's available in either front- or all-wheel drive, and will return a claimed 34 miles per gallon on the highway in the former setup. The Midnight package adds an extra $500 to the $26,125 base MSRP on a new Trax LTZ.

Based on the LTZ trim, the Midnight Edition features black wheels, bezels, beltline molding and door handles, along with a black rear license plate applique. Inside, the seats are trimmed with gray accents and the floor mats feature gray piping. "Introduced just a year ago, the Trax has quickly become an important vehicle for Chevrolet, bringing in new, younger and more female buyers to the brand," said Betsy Flegg, senior marketing manager, Chevrolet Crossovers. "The small SUV segment is the fastest growing in the industry and models such as the new Trax Midnight Edition provides customers an expressive option." Trax sales were 57,707 for the first 11 months of 2015, placing it second in the segment, with almost 20-percent market share. Chevrolet crossover sales were up 35 percent for the same period. Fusing small-car agility and utility convenience of an SUV, Trax offers up to 48.4 cubic feet of cargo space. A 1.4L turbocharged engine offers the efficiency of a small displacement engine – an EPA-estimated 34 mpg highway (FWD models) – with the power of a larger engine on-demand. Connectivity features include an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan

Sat, Jul 22 2017

Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
