United States
|
For Sale: 1952 Chevrolet 3-window 3/4T Long Bed Pick Up truck, (8) lug hubs, 16" steel wheels, heavy duty springs. Description: Our truck is a CLEAN, Excellent running, driving, road worthy truck that was purchased as a "display" truck for my welding business. The truck is virtually rust free, and when I say rust free, I don't mean the surface rust. She has plenty of that, but the floor boards, kick panels, rocker panels, cab bottoms, floor, fender wells and the bed itself are beautiful. She does have some rust-through surface(s) where the upper rear part of the front fenders meet the interior kick panels on the cab, but this is minor and not bad at all. The pictures in this listing of our truck ARE the pictures of the truck that you will be purchasing. This truck has a 12-volt battery but the truck itself has not been formally converted to a 12 volt system. All physical dash indications in the truck work perfectly. The truck shifts great, starts right up and runs like it's purring. It could be put to work immediately as is, or restored. This is really a nice, solid truck. She was purchased for a promotional vehicle for my welding business, but I get enough referrals via word of mouth, and we really need to purchase a tractor, so the truck is being sold. Condition: The truck has obviously had some bumps and scrapes along it's life. The driver's front fender was hit and poorly repaired at one time. The passenger side rear fender had a chain come loose in the snow and damaged the right rear fender at the rear lip as shown. None of this minor damage described is unrepairable. The rear bed is complete as it was original, but it is all under a sheet of 3/32" steel that was placed in the bed at some point during the truck's life down here in Texas, (see pics.). The glass is all there, but it's not all good. Most of it will have to be replaced. It's chipped, it's cracked, and it's pitted. The rubber gaskets around all the glass are virtually crusted completely hard and are unserviceable. The doors open and close without any sag whatsoever. I have removed all the old cracked-up upolstry to preserve the seat springs, which are in excellent condition. The windshield wipers work intermittantly. The wiring is all original; but she uses a push-button starter switch taped to the steering column to facilitate the starter action on the newer 235 engine. She has just had a coolant flush, and a fresh oil & oil filter change. New Parts: New keys, ignition, locks, Battery, battery cables, positive and negative, fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel cap, fuel line, fuel filter, & oil filter. Extras: The was ordered with the radio blank, turn signals, windshield wipers, and a heater. All of these items are installed and/or functioning in the truck. The truck will have a complete spare '52 grill assembly that goes with it, a full size mounted and balanced 16" rim and tire, as shown in the bed. I also have a 4-cross lug wrench and jack that will go with the truck. The truck has had a professionally welded/extended 12-Volt Battery tray fabricated to use the existing holes for the original, (smaller), battery box in the frame under the passenger side floor board. The 12V battery itself sits below the original floor board access panel, clearly visitable in the pictures, just like the stock 6 volt battery did. You can easilly pull the 12V battery up through the floor for removal. I do have the stock OEM radio blank plate that goes into the dash, which does go with the truck. I also have a spare door glass that is packaged for shipment. I will provide DETAILED pictures of any part of the car you wish, before you purchase and/or make an offer, if you're not seeing what you need to see in the pics I have posted. I will answer any questions completely, before you make your offer and/or purchase. Please do not hesitate to email me through the E-bay matrix, or simply speed it up by calling: (254) 368-7399. If you do not want your question posted to the listing, please let me know that in your contact and your contact will be kept private. Thank you for your interest and best of luck to all interested parties. The truck IS for sale locally here in Central Texas, Killeen 76548. The truck is located 55 minutes NNE of Austin City Central, 50 minutes SSW of Waco, TX and 2.5 hours NNE of San Antonio, 4.0 hours NNW of Houston, and 4.0 hours SSW of Dallas, TX. |

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
