Hi, welcome to our ebay listings for our classic vehicles. Rock'n'Roll Motors is a new business based in Grangemouth, Central Scotland and was primarily set up as I got made redundant and decided to turn my classic vehicle hobby into a business. I have been selling the odd American car on my other ebay handle v8.jimmy, and there you will still find some vehicles being sold, as the ones on the v8.jimmy site are personally owned and are being sold to help buy stock for this business on this ebay account. As Rock'n'Roll Motors, we import American classic cars and trucks, restore and sell, or sell as projects, we can handle shipping from California to Scotland for your own transatlantic purchase, we can repair or restore your classic vehicle (from a motorcycle to a heavy goods vehicle) at competitive rates. We also do wedding hire with a 1957 Chevrolet BelAir and a 1960 Mercury Montclair. Okay, now you know who we are and what we are about, let's get on with this listing..............

First I need to say that this truck deosn't actually belong to the business, it belongs to my mate and myself personally as it was imported before we started the Rock"n"Roll Motors business, so is being sold by the business on a commision base only, you are in essence buying from a private seller.

Okay to start off, this is a rolling shell, has no engine or trans, BUT we have a couple of V8s, a 305 from an '86 GMC day van and a 307 from a '69 Camaro, both which are connected to TH350 auto trans. These are available at extra cost. Pics are all I have, will get better ones soon and add them.

The previous owner replaced all the usual rot spots in these trucks, possibly steps, cab outer conrners, floor pans, etc. I can't quite remember how much he said he'd done, but it all must be to a decent standard as I've had it lying here for a couple of years and nothing has come through, and it did spend much of that time sitting outside. He also coated it in primer to give it a level of protection, so it's sitting here as a solid old truck. he didn't replace the inner cab rear corners when he did the outers so a little filler work needed here, no welding at all from what I can see. It's also pretty much dent free, just a little smoothing work needed here and there. He also painted most of the chassis and under the hood, inner wings, etc all in gloss black. The time all this will save you in a restoration more than makes up for the asking price without an engine or trans.

Glass is all good, I think the screen is new and it has a new rubber. All lights, badges, etc are present, "Fleetside" scripts were new, front bumper is straight, rear bumper and irons are missing. Propshaft is there, handbrake cables are all free, previous owner said it has new brakes and cylinders and wheel bearings, and I can see the brake flex hoses are new. Master cylinder does need replaced though and are readily available. Bed has a sheet of ply in it with ali runners and it looks okay, bed front cross memebr is missing but we have that on the way over just now. Tailgate is solid, has some minor dings, nothing serious. Bench seat is there in decent condition, all gauges, etc are there, can't verify if they work with no engine! Bonnet latch is missing, was robbed off for another truck at one time.

Truck was used in the film "Cloud Atlas" filmed in Glasgow last September and if you google image Halle Berry Cloud Atlas Glasgow, you will see plenty shots of this truck and my '60 BelAir with Halle in the foreground. It can also be seen on several youtube videos taken during filming.

So, there you have it, a good solid project, just ripe for a street rod. The Fleetside is much rarer than the stepsides and does lend itself very well to a smoothed out high quality rod. We bought it with the intention of puting in a BMW turbo diesel drive train with a Heidt's front crossmember to give it power, economy, modern handling with power steering, brakes, etc. the front end kit we planned to use is a bolt in kit which gives independent coils or air bags, power disc brakes and power steering. It means you do not have to cut the chassis to fit a camaro clip, which are now getting harder to find anyway, and, as it's only a suspension change, it means you keep the age related plate and free road tax. I have the title and customs C386 proving all duties and taxes have been paid. All you need to when you get it MOTd is to take the MOT, insurance doc and the title and C386 along with £55 to your local DVLA office and 72 hours later you have the truck registered, it really is that easy.

Please note a couple of things: some pics show the wheels in red primer with new tyres, they are not on the truck, they were from another truck. It has the black wheels with useable tyres on them. Also some pics show the truck with the buck loaded with spares, this was only done to move premises, the buck is empty, except for the propshaft for the truck.

Although we are based in Central Scotland, please do not let this be an issue for you as I pride myself on my descriptions and must add that on my other accounts and via magazines, I have never ever failed to sell a car to the first person who travels to see it! If you know what you are looking for, and do decide to come and see, I can assure you the car will be as described here. There is no point in me telling lies about a car, as, quite simply, when you come and see it, you will not buy it if it's not as described, so, a big waste of time for me and a waste of time and money for you. I have no wish to deceive any potential buyer, I've been on the receiving end of that in the past, travelling many hundreds of miles to see something very much different from what was described to me. I aim to change that as a business seller. I'd rather gain a new friend and not sell you a car than sell you something and make a new enemy!! I am an enthusiast first and business man second.

If you want to come and look, I can pick you up at Edinburgh Airport, or Linlithgow or Falkirk rail stations and return you after your visit. The above asking price includes FREE UK mainland delivery, though if you offer less, you will have to collect or pay for delivery yourself, though I can still arrange that at a good price.
