Meet Miss Libby, a 1956 Chevy 3200 pickup which started it's life as an IGA delivery store truck in Champion Nebraska. I purchased the truck at a tractor auction several years ago. At that time the lettering on the doors was still ledgeable although fading. The truck was running and we drove it home. After some serious consideration we decided to enhance the existing lettering and at that time we changed the original name to Libby's IGA after my granddaughter. With the exception of the roof and visor we left the original paint in tact and painted the roof and visor white along with a little tasteful pin stripping. The bed is as we found it except we applied 10 coats of polyurethane on the wood and clear coated the bed sides. We added a new oak rack, the S&H green stamp sign and the 7up sign in the bed. The original seat was recovered and the rest of the interior left as we found it. This truck still has it's original engine and 4 speed transmission as well as it's original shocks. The underside of the truck was steam cleaned and painted however we did not attempt to clean the engine and tranny. We replaced the exhaust, windshield, radiator, belts, and hoses. 4 new B.F. Goodrich Silver town bias ply wide whites were added along with new hubcaps and vintage trim rings painted red. We rebuilt the carburator, replaced the headliner and visors. As you can imagine this truck gets lots of attention and appeared on the front page of the Bellevue, Ohio Gazette in June of this year. The truck runs great, shifts fine, all lights and turn signals work as do all the gauges, horn, wipers, and heater. The speedometer was disconected when we got it and the odometer is not working so the true mileage is unknown. The rear pig has a small leak and the engine leaks when the truck sets and it does burn a little oil. The licence plates, tag toppers and wooden box in the bed are not included in this auction.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
