FACTORY, MATCHING NUMBERS, BIG BLOCK, SHORT BED!!!!!!!!!
This is a rare 1972 Chevrolet short bed pick up that was special ordered by a family on a farm in Little Rock Arkansas where I originally purchased it back on 2/24/97. Due to financial difficulties I was forced to sell it on 5/24/97 & when the buyer lost interest in restoring it, I bought it back on 8/16/06. Yet there is no rust on this truck now, (with the exception of the RF fender, which I have new) The poor old girl is still not completed.
After years of research & work was performed on the truck by the previous owner & myself, the engine was rebuilt by the previous owner & I learned of the rare options this truck was ordered with. A special promotional package called "The Highlander" with deluxe trim, two tone paint & upgraded interior options along with comfort tilt steering wheel, air conditioning & TH400 Automatic transmission. 12 bolt 373 posi traction rear. Rare factory gauges including a tachometer. $800 was spent on the seat alone when it was reupholstered with the incorrect hounds tooth pattern, though it looks cool. (it should have been black/white plaid)
I have thousands of dollars of receipts & a ton of new, NOS & reproduction parts that go with the truck.
I highlighted some of the new items below.
* 30 over matching #s 400 Big Block totally rebuilt with all new engine components (have receipts) & #s matching TH400
* New HEI summit racing distributor
* New Q Jet carb
* New heavy duty front sway bar kit
* New Magna flow, custom welded stainless steel dual exhaust (installed)
* New (repro) Passenger fender
* New GM Rocker panels (installed)
* New cab corners (installed)
* New Hounds Tooth seat covering (installed)
* New carpeting with sill plates
* New gas gauge sending unit
* New GM body side body side moldings (for entire truck) can't even buy GM anymore!
* Deluxe Tailgate chrome insert with letters
* New Wood grain door panel inserts
* New Gauge bezel (installed)
* Used class III hitch
* New front grille surround (aluminum)
* New front bumper (new in 1997)
* New outside door handles
* New Glove box cardboard
* New Air conditioning duct work
* New dash pad (installed)
* Tires have less than 1,000 miles
* 15X8 truck rally's
* Re-cored 3 core radiator (should be 4)
* New bed bolts
* New front end fastener kit
* New headlight bezels
* Numerous boxes of misc new & used parts also
Obviously the air conditioning is not hooked up under the hood, though I do have a number of the brackets & original components that go with the truck, but there are many vendors that have the components available now reproduction.
Though the body work on this truck is not complete, all of the hard work is done. (welding) There is still minor body work that has to be done in order to be painted.
Please be advised......Recently the truck began to "knock" a little, I do not know if it is a lifter or bearing, the previous owner rebuilt the engine so I can not verify what his work, I do not think it is serious though.
I may be able to assist the successful buyer with delivery for a separate fee since I do own a trailer, depending where he/she is located.
Please ask me about this option prior to bidding.
Please check out my other unfinished project auction,
I also will be selling a solid 1967 Chevelle Convertible project car with a lot of NOS parts included
I check my email daily, please ask questions if you are interested becoming the new owner of my old friend.
Serious buyers only please!!!!
Serious buyers may contact me for additional pictures & a YOUTUBE video to hear it run.
Thanks for looking & HAVE A NICE DAY!!

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
