Beautiful, Newly Restored Chevy 3100 Stepside Pickup
Offered for sale is a nicely restored, 1952 Chevy 3100 pickup truck. This truck was finished in March 2013 and is ready for some Spring cruising. The 216 CID Thriftmaster engine was rebuilt, to include the carbeaureator and valves with beefed-up push rods. We tried to stay as original as we could, including the 6 volt electrical system. It starts right up with no smoke and the transmission shifts smoothly. The only thing I chose to upgrade is the radial tires, which gives this great old truck a much smoother ride and better handling capability. Also included is a new oak bed with polished stainless steel hardware. It's got new paint, trim and moldings and a brand new floor covering. Did I mention there's NO RUST and a clean undercarriage?
I own several of these advance design trucks from the 50s and my intent is to restore them to original condition and to enjoy driving them around on the weekends. I am currently offering three of these trucks for sale because I'm simply running out of storage space and want others to enjoy them as much as I do. I love the restoration process and hope you appreciate my attention to original detail. Just look at the photos and you will see what I'm talking about. This is not a show truck, but it sure looks like one...it was restored to be driven by an old truck lover like you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
By the way...when driving this beauty around Birmingham, I got so many "Roll Tide" comments that I decided to put some BAMA decals on it. Of course, they are easily removable if you're not a Crimson Tide fan.
This vehicle is available for inspection at an indoor storage unit in Birmingham, Alabama. Please call Scott @ 615-594-8657 to set up an appointment or with any questions that you may have.
TERMS:
Payment will be made in full via wire transfer or certified funds with 72 hours of the end of the auction. A $500 non-refundable deposit is also required via PayPal. Worldwide delivery is also available. Please call for quotes.
Good luck!

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.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
