This is a Texas original truck that I bought from the second
owner in 1981. I have enjoyed it tremendously, but due to my age and the coming
winter (I now live in Pittsburgh); I think it needs a new home. It is a daily
driver that I would trust to drive anywhere. Additionally, it has enough
options and comes with enough new parts that someone could make “Big Red” truly
special. It came from the factory with most all options as a Custom Cab
Deluxe model. I was also told it was a “Texas Dealer Special Edition” as it has
Genuine Chevrolet hood spears and crossed racing flag emblem that I have never
seen on another truck. Comes with the protecto-plate, original owners manual,
and many, many thousands of dollars of receipts. The truck was bought from
Graff Chevrolet in Grand Prairie, TX. I have a few more factory options that I
will include with the sale to make it one of the most highly-optioned trucks
you will see. The period-correct 327 4-barrel engine has about 20,000 miles
on the rebuild. The original Powerglide transmission and rear end have about
10,000 miles on the rebuild. All perform flawlessly. The correct original size
whitewall tires have about 5,000 miles on them. It passed rigorous PA Inspections the last two years, though
I have recently placed Historic plates on it so that I no longer have to waste
a day in an automotive waiting room. The few known issues are a slight wobble
in the steering wheel and a non-working horn button in the professionally
rebuilt steering column, so I will include another complete used column that
looks to be in great shape ($200). There is an exhaust leak on the left side,
it is a loose gasket. I have included a new “doughnut”. The oil pan drain bolt
leaks slightly, I have included a new Summit oil pan, drain bolt, one-piece
no-leak gasket and new ARP bolts ($92). I will include 5 quarts of Pennzoil and
new oil filter. The gas gauge doesn’t work, the gauge is new, and so I have
included a new sending unit for the tank ($75). The temperature gauge needs a
new sending unit and the Vintage Air system should be charged as I never use
it. Original seat, tracks, rebuild kit, and new red/white upholstery are
included ($300) to replace the almost new leather seat with flip-up middle cubby/console
and matching seat belts ($950) if desired, as is a complete set of new
replacement stainless steel exterior fleet side body molding/trim from Brothers
($600). While the truck is amazingly clean for its age, there are a
few small rust areas developing and a small dent in the passenger side bed. The
cab was replaced and the original VIN plate lost, but I have a new unstamped
plate with the correct original rosette rivets and reverse stamps to replace
the Chevrolet DD plate that goes above the driver’s door. I have two extra
rivets if anyone wants to make me an offer. The frame has the original VIN
stamped into it and matches the title. I also have a used and new GVW plate for
the side vent area. As mentioned, everything passed PA’s strict title and
inspection laws. I won’t divulge the reasonable reserve, but I am a motivated
seller, so I intend to sell the truck. Bid to win. I will help with shipping,
or you can fly into PIT, I will pick you up, and you can drive it home. $500
deposit from wining bidder in 3 days, reminder paid in cash or bank draft upon
pickup at my house. Check my feedback. ·

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There 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 Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
