1955 Chevy 3100 SHORT BED BIG WINDOW DELUXE CAB!!
VERY RARE STAINLESS STEEL TRIM ON OUTSIDE OF CAB!

You found it, the barn find you have been looking for!  This is a ONE owner truck since it was bought new in Wildomar, CA.  The original owner died in 1970 while in the beginning process of a restoration and installing a V8, he had removed the original engine and trans and was in the process of looking for a motor when he passed away, the truck has less than 67k original miles.  His son transferred the truck into his name in June of 1970 (look at the pics of the title) and had it stored in a sealed container on the family property in Wildomar.  Sometime in the 90's when they sold the property the truck was delivered to his home in Burbank, CA where it sat in his garage until 3/24/14 when I pulled it out.

It is completely original and rust free (except for front bottom of cab both sides as shown in pics) with a clean solid frame and floors.  The dash is in excellent condition and uncut.  The rear cab corners were professionally changed out as seen in the pics before the owner died, they did an amazing job.  All the rain gutters are clean and rust free as are the window seals.  The truck seems to have one re-paint in that strange greenish gold color you see now, the original color from what I can tell seems to be red.  All the glass is excellent.

This truck has the VERY RARE deluxe cab with the stainless steel trim on the outside of the cab.  The trim is all there and in excellent condition as can be seen in the pics.  You can not find these trucks with the trim option much less with all the trim in this amazing condition.  The original bench seat needs to be rebuilt but is all there and complete as seen in the pics.  The original instrument cluster showing the original mileage is in perfect working order and fantastic condition.  The truck also has all the original hood latch components and original radiator with support bar.

Please feel free to call me anytime with questions.  
Thanks for looking and good luck!

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
