I have owned this truck for 2 years now. The truck has a rust patina on the cab and the truck bed still has a little paint left on it. The truck is fully driveable, you can take it on the freeway, it can take a corner well and the parts that I used to build it are all quality parts. A local shop here has helped it get to this point so I would say it's a fairly professionally built truck. What I haven't finished is the look of the truck, I think the bed would look better stripped of paint and a few other details which will be the new owner's decision now. This is a completed truck, not a project truck. The truck has a VIN, it has passed inspection, it has a license plate, it's registered and street legal. For anyone that isn't familiar with California it's very tough getting an old truck registered and for it to pass inspection, all that has been done. I drive the car, it has insurance and it's registered to my name and I have the title in my hand. 

The cab is a 1939 chevy truck cab that has been narrowed and channeled 4 inches. The frame is a 1930's frame that has been boxed, Z'd, with tubular reinforcement and cross member. 1937 ford front end, 1987 ford ranger rear end. Discs in the front that are as good as new, drums in the back, fully rebuilt. Turbo 350 transmission was professionally rebuilt in 2011 and the engine is a 1970 305ci engine with less than 1500 miles on it after its rebuilt. No leaks from front to the rear. Exhaust is street legal with mufflers, cherry bombs but it isn't too loud so it's ok around a neighborhood. Headlights, turn signals, reverse and brake lights. 

The interior is very basic, hurst shifter, gauge cluster is in but nonfunctional. Ignition switch is basic aftermarket unit. Battery is a super light Odyssey unit. The gas tank is a 5 gallon gas canister. I have an extra one if you need more mileage out of the car. The brake assembly is a CNC hydraulic kit. The gas pedal is a 1989 ford mustang piece. The carb is an edelbrock street carb. The front windshield is Lexan. The side windows are functional but cannot be rolled up all the way due to the chop. The glass is broken on the right side. 

The issues the truck has are as follows: The gas tank only hold 5 gallons, if you need more range you will need to add a second tank which I have available. There is no grill, I have the grill but never installed it which is only a cosmetic piece but I think important to the look of the truck. The radiator has a small leak that will require its core to be replaced. A new radiator is $150, rebuilding the core would be about $90 which includes labor. The truck bed needs it's paint stripped for the truck to have a more cohesive look or the cab needs a similar pain. The seat belt is fully functional but only a lap belt. If you going to drive on the freeway I would recommend a 3 point seat belt. There is no rear windshield and I like that look so if you prefer otherwise either a metal grate or Lexan would look good there. The battery has 550 cca which is a little low especially on hot starts so you can either replace with a larger battery or redo the wiring to avoid hot start problems. It still starts up every time but it will be finicky if left the way it is. 

The shop that has done all the work on this truck can take care of the extra gas tank tank and fix the radiator leak. If you are interested you can contact the shop to have the work done. Total should be $250 or you can do it yourself. It would be very easy work.

GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric

Wed, Feb 15 2017

General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:

2016 Chevy Camaro Convertible gets cleaner looks, improved refinement [UPDATE]

Wed, Jun 24 2015

UPDATE: We have live photos from the reveal. Scroll to the bottom of the story and check them out in the Related Gallery. Back in May, Chevrolet introduced a redesigned Camaro. Now, and not at all surprisingly, the Bowtie brand is showing off the latest Camaro convertible, based on the coupe that debuted on Belle Isle in Detroit. From the beltline down, this is the same car that was so well-received last month. But above the waist, there's an all-new, fully automatic canvas roof that can be raised and lowered at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. On top of that, owners will be able to drop the roof remotely by simply pressing a button on the key. Chevy does not, however, say if this new convertible roof is lighter than last year's top. The biggest change for the Camaro convertible, though, is something we've long yearned for – a proper hard tonneau cover that deploys over the folded roof. The current muscle car's roof fabric has the unpleasant tendency to flap in the breeze. The new droptop shouldn't have that problem, and will likely boast an even cleaner top-down profile to boot. Like the hardtop, though, the Camaro convertible does benefit from the same lightweight structure, that helps trim "at least" 200 pounds of body fat. It should also make use of the same powertrain lineup, with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V6, and a 6.2-liter V8 with six-speed manuals or eight-speed automatic transmissions spanning the lineup. "From the beginning, the Camaro's architecture was developed to incorporate a convertible with uncompromised driving dynamics," Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser said in the attached release. "Customers will appreciate what they don't feel: quivers, cowl shake or an under-damped chassis typically found in a four-seat convertible." Increased refinement, a cleaner look, better driving dynamics and a more usable convertible roof? We're looking forward to you 2016 Camaro convertible. Chevy claims the new car arrives in "early 2016," which means we should plan on seeing this droptop at the typically cold and snowy Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the full press release from Chevrolet.

CA Chevy dealer allegedly adds $50K 'market value adjustment' to 2015 Z06

Fri, Jan 9 2015

It seems to happen with every eagerly anticipated new car – dealerships, recognizing that crushing demand far outstrips the initial limited supply of a new model, inflate the price via a so-called "market value adjustment." We've seen it in the past with a number of new models, and now it's happening again with one of the Detroit 3's hottest vehicles. A dealership in Roseville, CA, outside of Sacramento, has allegedly attached a staggering $49,995 market value adjustment to a 2015 Corvette Z06. We say allegedly because, despite the evidence uncovered by BoostAddict, John L. Sullivan Chevy's online inventory listing doesn't display the price premium of the Z06 in question, a (normally) $93,965 model with the top-end 3LZ trim. It's unclear if either of the dealer's other Z06s, both 3LZs, one of which is in transit, will receive similar price adjustments. Now, legally, Sullivan Chevy isn't doing anything wrong here. Dealerships are under no obligation to observe a manufacturer's suggested retail price, a point General Motors' spokesperson Ryndee Carney pointed out to Autoblog via email. "For the Corvette Z06, Chevrolet has established a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price we feel is right for the market. Actual transaction prices, however, are the province of the dealer," Carney said, adding that a dealer zone manager will be discussing the price hike with the dealership. While we also reached out to the dealership over both the market value adjustment and the price of the Z06 as it appears on the company's website, we've yet to hear back as of this writing. Should they reply to our inquiries, we'll be sure to update you. Until then, we'd like to hear what you think about this case. Is Sullivan Chevy simply pricing the cars as high as it thinks the market can bear, or is this a cash grab for an hotly anticipated product? Have your say in Comments.
