 This very rare 1972 C/k Suburban Custom Deluxe with only 91k original miles. Painted in the very desirable White/Ochre/White. It is hands down the cleanest original that I have seen. And if you follow my auctions you know I deal exclusively in Chevrolet trucks and know everything to look for on these vehicles and this one is impeccable! It is completely original except for one repaint that we were told is approximately 6-7 years old that shines up beautifully as you can see in the pics. Being very conservative I would rate the paint as a 8 of 10 due to any minor nicks or scratches from driving.  As you can see the body is laser straight in all it's original sheet metal showing no signs of any body damage ever. All the gaps between the doors, fenders, & hood line up just as they should. The doors open and close tight with absolutely no door sag.(All rubber & felt replace at time of repaint) All the chrome and trim are also in excellent shape.

 The story behind this truck is the gentleman who purchased it new had it all the way until his passing. During the 40 years he owned it another gentleman that attended the same church as him always inquired about buying it from him, but he said he could never part with it. Well it turns out he actually left it to be given to his church friend in his will. Unfortunately, his friend also fell into bad health soon after and went to sell it to a local car dealer which in turn contacted me about it knowing that this was the type of vehicles I deal in. I have enjoyed it for some time, but now I am ready to move on and let someone else enjoy it. I have set a very fair reserve on this so I can make room in the shop and fund some of my other projects, However if it does not reach that number I will keep it in my collection as they are only becoming more and more rare and also more expensive.

 Beyond it's condition what also makes it so unique is all the factory options. As you can see on the trim tag pic it has all the creature comforts of a modern SUV such as 3rd row seating, trailer brake controls, and FRONT & REAR AC!! And of course all the other options you would expect from the top of the line model such as: 400 Big block V8, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Tilt, and the original AM/FM Radio, Factory Blue Tinted Glass, and the full trim package of body molding.

 Powered by a BBC 400 with 91k original miles with a smooth shifting 400 Turbo Hydromatic transmission. As you can see on the trim tag it is equipped with the big block hwy running gear and cruises at highway speeds. The engine starts up immediately and runs smooth. It handles very tight and just in general hits the road well much like a modern vehicle. I have personally drove this truck on 500+ mile road trips with absolutely no issues. Even though it has never sit for any period of time I had an entire tune up that included all the fluids, belts, and brakes gone through.  

 The interior of this truck is absolutely gorgeous! It is all original and in unbelievable shape. No tears or scuffs of any kind. The dash and gauge bezels, steering wheel, glove box, and carpet are excellent. Hard to believe but it looks almost as good as it did back in 72!

 The bottom line is this the cleanest, nicest original survivor C/K Suburban I have ever came across. If your looking for an unmolested Suburban I assure you that you won't be disappointed in this one nor will you probably come across another like this ever again. If you have any questions please call Jeremy 864-940-4576

Note: I reserve the right to end this auction early as I will also be marketing it locally for sale. So if you want this truck please don't wait til the last minute to bid as it may already be gone. I can be reached through ebay or my phone number listed above. The winning bidder must make a non-refundable $500 deposit within 24hrs of the auction end and be able to pay the remaining balance within 7 days of auction end.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
