1968 Chevy Carryall Suburban on 2040-cars
Burbank, California, United States
Engine:Inline six
Drive Type: 2wd
Model: Suburban
Mileage: 999,999
Trim: C20
1968 Chevy Carryall (Suburban) 3/4-ton three-door with barn doors in the back. Inline six (250?) with SM420 four-speed manual. This must have been a city fleet truck when new, as it is factory orange (been repainted once, a little darker than original) with rubber floor mats and no options. No power steering, no power brakes, no A/C--nothing. It runs and drives well, with a decent running engine, good clutch, good brakes, tracks straight, and the trans does not pop out of gear. It's geared low and doesn't like more than 65 mph on the highway; drive it faster and the engine starts to push oil out of the valve cover. It obviously has late-model wheels on it, and the tires are ok. Someone painted the interior brown a long time ago. I put a '72 bench seat in the front (when I got it it had the random bucket seats you can see in the back) and it's blue so it does not match. There's no rear seat at all. Some of the window cranks are missing, and some of the buttons on the outside door handles are hinky. The body is pretty rough, with small to medium dents on every panel. There's rust at the bottom of the rear quarters and a little in the rockers, but I've seen way worse. The wood in the bed is not rotted anywhere. The driver door has been replaced (note it's the only part of the truck with trim above the beltline), but matches surprisingly well. Basically, this thing is a fantastic beater. It would not be worth a huge resto project, but as a rat it's pretty cool. I'd slam it and take it to El Mirage and Bonneville as a push truck if I didn't need to thin the fleet.

A user pointed out that the engine is a 292. Right! I forgot about those.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
