1972 Chevy originally from Arizona. Started with a rust-free frame and underbody. Was taken right down to the frame for restoration (last photo). More than $30,000 invested. Reserve is MUCH lower.


All body work was professionally done and is impeccable. Cab was removed and lined with bedliner both inside and underneath before painting. All body parts were removed, sandblasted, professionally restored (no bondo), primed and painted. The color is flat charcoal metallic. Bumpers and grill are flat black.

A partial list of all of the new items that went into the restore – new inner fenders, new doors, new rockers all welded in place, new OEM vintage tailgate ($600), new tilt steering column from IDIDIT, new steering wheel, all new wiring from Painless – nearly all of it running through split loom conduit, new LED lights all around, gauge cluster was restored, new Lokar automatic shifter, new wheels, brand new GoodYear Duratrac 33" tires, new bed wood and rails, all new gaskets and seals in doors and windows, new door exterior door handles and locks, new ignition, new pedals, new tailgate chains, new interior vents, new ductwork, new armrests, new carpet, new Flowmaster true dual exhaust, new Skyjacker 4" lift and shocks, new braided steering lines, new brake lines, power leather seats from a modern GTO (yes, they work), new gas tank, new sending unit, new battery, new radiator core support, new billet aluminum grill, new grill/headlight surround, new front bumper. All bolts were removed and replaced with either Grade VIII or 304 Stainless when possible. Nearly $400 spent in bolts alone. I'm sure there is more...

The engine is a top-end rebuilt 350 with an aggressive cam. The Holley 650 carburetor and intake manifold are brand new, new valve covers, new starter, new heater core. T350 transmission was professionally rebuilt with a 2200-2500 RPM stall torque converter. Original NP205 transfer case with working four wheel drive.

This truck is 98% done. Here is what is not completed. One of the brand new window gaskets in the passenger door got caught and ripped. A set of new ones is included - you only need one. Passenger door panel is not installed (to repair the gasket). The shift boots are not screwed down. Some body panels could use some professional adjusting to line up a little better. The rear view mirror is not hung. The glove box door latch is not lining up right and is not installed. The engine could still use some tuning. It runs strong, but is very cold-blooded. There is a transmission leak that I'm pretty sure is coming from the speedometer cable. I did not hook up a washer fluid reservoir, the pump is in place with new lines. Lastly, something is taking a light draw on the battery and it causes the battery to die after 3-4 days if not run or charged. I believe it's an amp (new) installed to run an iPod through a customer speaker enclosure/center console I built.

Everything works on this truck as it should. It is beautiful truck and with a little more TLC could cross an auction line for well over $30,000. I have many vintage 4x4s and this one is going to make room. If you have any questions I am available for calls (e-mail for the number) and the truck can be driven and seen in Three Lakes, Wisconsin. Can deliver to Iola in July or within 250 miles of Three Lakes, Wisconsin. This would include both the Minneapolis and Milwaukee areas. Bid with confidence. Clear Wisconsin title in hand.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
