1973 CHEVROLET 454 CHEYENNE 30 "CAMPER SPECIAL" TRUCK WITH OVER CAB CAMPER

LOCKED AWAY IN PRIVATE STORAGE FOR THIRTY YEARS: ONLY 69000 MILES!

During the 1950s, carpenter/contractor Ralph Jackson, who owned a repair garage and workshop in Culver City, built himself an exquisite 17 foot sport boat so that he could take his sporting young bride, Marjorie, fishing and camping whenever they desired.

For the next twenty-five years, Ralph and Marjorie would take fishing trips in or around California, exploring the best lake and ocean points.

In 1973, Ralph bought a brand new Chevrolet 454 Cheyenne 30 One Ton Camper Special Truck with a slide-in over cab camper shell so that he and Marjory could take extended camping trips together. Like his boat, Ralph did all of the camper’s interior trim, cupboard, countertop, and cabinet work himself, creating an intimate home away from home for his adoring wife and sporting companion.

Ralph kept both his and his camper truck and sport boat in impeccable condition. He always kept spare filters, fan belts, spark plugs, hoses, motor oil, and numerous other truck and boat parts in his garage workshop so that he could regularly service them himself. His boat and truck were his passion.

Unfortunately, the camping excursions became fewer as Ralph’s construction and carpentry business took increasingly more of his time and, when her beloved husband died suddenly in 1984; Marjory Jackson sadly covered Ralph’s boat and camper truck with canvas tarps and solemnly locked the doors to her husband’s garage and workshop. She could not bear to be reminded of their many happy adventures together so she sealed them away and never looked at them again.

For the next thirty years, the boat and camper truck remained unseen, untouched, and forgotten until Marjory herself passed away in 2013. When her estate was settled recently, the doors to Ralph Jackson’s repair garage and workshop were opened for the first time in decades, and the 1959 sport boat and 1973 Chevrolet 454 Camper Truck were brought back out into the light of day.

Everything on the boat and in the camper was just as Ralph and Marjorie left them. Under layers of dust, both boat and truck remained in excellent condition. Ralph’s hat was on the seat in the cab, Marjory’s was still inside the camper. Sitting inside the truck or camper is literally like stepping back in time. The service and wiring manuals are still in the cab's center compartment and the original truck sales brochures are sitting on the side board next to the stove and sink

The truck cab is absolutely pristine; the original leather seats and carpeting are intact, no cracks or tears. The radio plays as if it were brand new.

Inside one of the camper drawers were film slides of the many trips that the Jacksons took together. Two of the photos of the boat and truck you see here were taken by the Jacksons almost forty years ago.

Because this vehicle has been in storage for three decades, we have replaced the truck batteries, cleaned the carburetor, replaced the points, tuned the engine, and filled the tires with air.

THIS TRUCK STARTS UP AND RUNS BUT NEEDS ADDITIONAL SERVICE INCLUDING NEW TIRES.

We have all ownership documents required for this vehicle in addition to a letter of assignment by the Jackson estate heirs.

New Chevy Malibu helps parents monitor teen driver's performance

Thu, Apr 2 2015

For teens, a driver's license can represent freedom. For parents, it can represent fear. Now there's a way parents can alleviate some of their worries and monitor their teen drivers. The 2016 Chevy Malibu, which debuted Wednesday at the New York Auto Show, contains a new feature that tracks driving performance and helps inexperienced drivers rein in some of their more dangerous habits. Accessed through a password in the car's infotainment system, parents can learn how far their child has driven, how fast they've gone and how many times they've braked hard, among other features. "It's an in-vehicle report card that gives parents information," says Mary Ann Beebe, one of the lead engineers who designed the system. "It's meant to be used as a teaching tool. Parents can sit down and talk with their teen about, 'Here are some areas where you're doing well, and here's some where you can use improvement.'" Car accidents are the leading cause of death for teens ages 16 to 19, and only last week, AAA released a study that found their driving behavior can leave them particularly susceptible to crashes. General Motors had sought ways to help educate and train younger drivers. In an era where data can be harvested from cars, monitoring performance is one way to provide information. Parents access the Teen Driver system in the car through a PIN-number entered into the Malibu's infotainment system. The report card can only be seen in the car – so far, it's not available via a smartphone app, like some other types of on-board diagnostic information. The system is activated by the use of a specially programmed key fob that lets the system know who is driving the car. Once the vehicle recognizes the key fob, it takes preventive measures to ensure safer conduct behind the wheel: Until the driver and front passenger buckle their seat belts, the radio is muted. Safety systems such as forward-collision assist and electronic stability control are automatically turned on. Parents can preset preferred speed limits, and drivers will hear a warning if that sound is exceeded. "We have these great technologies, and we want to make sure we turn them on for the teen," Beebe said. There are no geo-location aspects of the program, and data is stored on the car, not uploaded to the Cloud or even seen by General Motors, she said.

Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt have best sales month of 2015

Tue, Jun 2 2015

Things are trending upwards for the two best-selling plug-in vehicles in the US. Both the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf had their best sales month of 2015 in May, with the Volt selling 1,618 units and the Leaf moving 2,104. The upward swings come at an interesting time, with lots of excess first-gen Volts waiting for buyers and some buyers already ordering their second-gen Volts. So far in 2015, the Leaf has outsold the Volt 7,742 to 4,397. While 7,700 Leafs is respectable, it's nowhere near the numbers that Nissan will have to hit to reach the 50,000 annual sales that CEO Carlos Ghosn says is possible in the US. Still, the Leaf had its best sales month since December 2014 (when it sold 3,102 units) in May, but last month was still down 32.5 percent compared to May 2014. Despite the smaller overall number, May represents a big positive for Chevy, which has seen sluggish sales for the Volt for a long while now. The 1,618 Volts sold last month are only 3.9 percent lower than the 1,684 sold in May 2014 and May 2015 was the best month for Volt sales since August 2014. Perhaps salesmen are ready to make deals, what with thousands sitting around on dealer lots right now. The next-gen Volt is due this fall, and the order books (in California, at least) opened up this week. Like every month, our full wrap-up of green car sales in the US is coming soon (the VW e-Golf, for example, hit a best-ever high of 410 sales). Until then, feel free to discuss the Volt and Leaf sales figures in the Comments. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales hybrid sales

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06s en route to owners [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

Pretty much right on schedule, Chevrolet has begun shipping the very first customer examples of its 650-horsepower, supercharged Corvette Z06. In fact, according to General Motors, the earliest Z06s could be in customer hands by the end of this week. "It has been an incredible opportunity to work on Chevy's most capable model," said Jeff Lamarche, manager of Chevy's Bowling Green Assembly plant. "It truly is an amazing car, and we're thrilled to get them into the hands of our eager customers." Prices for the Z06 start at $78,995 for the hardtop model, while the first-ever Z06 Convertible kicks off at $83,995. Take a look below for the official press release from Chevrolet, and while you're down there, we've slipped in a new video of Corvette Racing's Tommy Milner taking a hot lap of Road Atlanta in a Z06, complete with some Performance Data Recorder footage. First 2015 Corvette Z06s on Their Way to Customers Most capable model in Chevrolet's history now shipping from Bowling Green BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Chevrolet is now shipping the all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 coupe from Bowling Green Assembly and some early customers could receive the much-anticipated supercar later this week. "It has been an incredible opportunity to work on Chevy's most capable model," said Jeff Lamarche, plant manager of General Motors' Bowling Green Assembly plant, "It truly is an amazing car, and we're thrilled to get them into the hands of our eager customers." The new Corvette Z06 offers the most choice for customers in the model's history. It is the first Z06 to offer an available eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and, thanks to a stronger aluminum frame, a removable roof panel. In addition, it is the first time since 1963 that the Z06 is available as a convertible Â– which will arrive in early 2015. The new LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 650 horsepower (485 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm) at 3,600 rpm Â– making the 2015 Corvette Z06 the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of the most powerful production cars available in the United States. To balance performance and efficiency, the LT4 leverages a trio of advanced technologies Â– direct injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing Â–with a new, more efficient supercharger. The LT4 helps make the Corvette Z06 the most capable car in the brand's history.
