Up for sale is my 1951 Chevrolet Pickup, 3100 half ton, with small block Chevrolet coupled to a 4 speed manual transmission with air conditioning that works! Runs and drives absolutely fantastically!! It is a really fun truck to drive! Must see the video to see how well it drives in all 4 speeds. Mustang 2 front end with disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. No understeer or oversteer. Car drives straight going down the road at 60 mph! Brakes stop the car on a dime and pull "straight". Transmission shifts well in all 4 forward gears (as well as reverse) and quickly gets up to highway speeds. All synchros are excellent, clutch is excellent with no clutch chatter nor anything of the sort. Excellent oil pressure running at 40-60 lbs the whole time, Starts with a quick turn of the ignition switch everytime, runs cool, does not overheat, headers with very mild exhaust mufflers, can be driven all day with no problems. 12 Volt conversion, truck charges well and holds a charge as seen by the amp gauge. Oil pressure, gas gauge, amp meter, speedometer, tach all work, radio works nicely. Low and high beam headlights, turn signals, running lights, reverse lights, dash lights all work. Horn and wipers currently not working. Boxed frame up front with coilovers, well done installation as shown by the quality of drive, mechanically excellent, very strong. No strange noises, no rattles, just a very strong mechanical truck where all of the hard work has been done and done correctly. These are modifications which were done some time ago and have been proven to be correctly done over time by the way the truck continues to drive so well and so straight. You are more than welcome to come and drive it and see for yourself. We have placed a video here so that you can see how it runs through the gears going down the road at highway speeds. The air conditioning works and blows cold air inside the cabin of the truck. Tires are near new and have full tread. Wheels are fresh with new hubcaps.
The truck was restored some years ago and now it is beginning to show some age on the previous restoration. You can see by the pictures that the truck sat outside after it was restored and has some rust peaking through the older paint job. I have crawled all over it and the floors are excellent, super solid. Looks as though cab corners were fixed with metal and these are solid as well. Doors close perfectly and gaps on the doors and hood are excellent when closed. Doors close well and hit the latch well. There is no door sag and the truck never appears to have been in an accident. What needs to be done are cosmetics. This includes the wood for the bed and a repaint of the truck. The doors are incredibly straight, door bottoms look good and the truck will not require a lot of dent repair. As you look down the side of the body, it is very straight in its reflection. The bed panels are very straight and will require little if any body work. Chrome is presentable, with some fading on the upper two chrome bars of the grill. Bumpers look good. If you currently look online you will see nicely done examples in the $25000 to $30000 range. This truck is not that far away from that. I like the fact that it is a 4 speed manual transmission and that the truck retains its original steering column and steering wheel. I have seen some modified trucks where late model additions were not tastefully done. This preserves the "original" feel of the truck while having late model running gear and air conditioning. It is a super fun truck to drive!
Here is a video of the truck:
We have also posted quite a few pictures here:

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
