This is my driver quality  1951 Chevrolet 3600! This restomod has all original Sheet metal aside from the front of the bed. It has been equipped with some nice new age additions. With the stance it drives and feels more like a Chevy 3100 but with the harder to find 3600 titling. It does have a clear title in my name. The paint is metallic midnight blue and It was painted in sections and not as just a overcoat on top of assembled metal. Every piece was painted individually. It is not a show car that is 10/10 for every aspect, But with that said, this is a driver truck that I am not selling for 45k. This is a truck you can drive and enjoy.  “ I don’t want a gun I can’t shoot, or a truck I cant drive”. The grill, running boards, fenders, hood and tailgate are all original and there is no fiberglass anywhere on this truck. All Rot has been cut out patched appropriately 

 The motor is a 235 inline 6 that is in excellent shape from a 1954 Chevy when pulling the engine code and it is still a 3 speed manual transmission from the factory. It does have a Rochester B Carb that has been rebuilt with a brand new choke cable. The distributer was rebuilt and works great

As you can see in the pictures truck has been upgraded with a front end disk brake kit that is brand new including brake lines and it has been converted to Chevy 5 lug in the front and 74 Chevy Nova in the rear. The driveshaft has been modified to work with the nova rear end as well. Brand new shocks as well.

 Even though it has a retrofitted rear end I purchase a Lokar E-brake conversion cable kit that hooks up the original parking brake setup to this rear end. You will NOT find many older trucks with working parking brake cables like this one. it is hooked up. needs to be adjusted but installed.

It has a brand new 2 Bore brake master cylinder with prop valve as well. No more unsafe 1 bore master cylinder. All of the brake line has been converted to nickel copper brake line as well.

The gauges are original and aside from running lights are not hooked up at this time. , but the car is sitting on a brand new 12 volt harness and ignition switch for that modern charge and convenience. I also added turn signal switch to this truck so you can have some modern convenience in a old time ride. Brand new tail lights with incorporated license plate bracket for that nice clean look

It also has a brand new complete wood bed kit that includes wood, bolts, angle bars, and metal slats. And bed blocks. The wood has been Minwax polyurethaned to keep it looking awesome for years to come. I have also created a Wood Bed Rail Kit that is Minwaxed to match the wood Bed that I find very sharp looking.

Sitting on a brand new set of 17x7 inch Riddler rims and tires.

Black Seat on Original frame in Very nice shape. It also has a Original Steering wheel, Radio bezel, and glove box. New headliner, door panels, speedo cable, turn signal switch, headlights, headlight bezels and gaskets, wiring harness, shifter head, and tail lights.

 

Another perk is all of the glass has been removed and replaced with new original style green tinted glass. The headliner is brand new, and so are the door panels.

Gas tank is original style and is brand new. No rusty gas in this bad boy. Inside and outside are all painted midnight metallic blue and the frame is painted black

I have put allot of love time and money into this truck and I am sad to see it go, but as life throws us curveballs it is just one of those things that has to happen.

There are a few things you can add yourself to spruce it up, but I have decided to leave off due to me needing to sell it. :

gauges need to be hooked up to work, horn doesn't work, there is no exhaust. there Is a pipe that goes  from exhaust to bottom of truck, but that's it . there are runs in the paint. paint is a 7/10 shape in my opinion

Obviously this is a classic truck and is sold As IS Where is.. But you will not be disappointed in this buy.

You must arrange the transportation and pay for that yourself, but I will assist the delivery company with loading if they require it.

This is a great truck.  I hope it sees allot of road time because old trucks are meant to be driven, not stored. 

 I can purchase and install a new aftermarket gauges if that is a major deal breaker, but I will go up on the sales price.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
