1953 5-window Chevy Pickup- Rust Free So. Ca Survivor!! on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, Connecticut, United States
We have here a great little rust free survivor just shipped in from Southern California. This is a rare 5 window model 3600 with the original 235 CU motor and 4 speed tranny on the floor. Vehicle starts right up and runs awesome. Rust free with only light surface or "patina". Bed appears to be either custom built or factory option and is real nice. Underside as clean as the top. Starts first time every time. Use on the farm, as a rat rod or find a cheap bed and restore, either way this is a great place to start with a rust free 5 window! Owner who shipped it in, could not do a stick shift, due to a bad back. His loss is your gain!.
There are a couple cracks in a couple of the original windows, but they are all flat glass and an easy fix. Needs headliner and side panels but as a kit they sell for around $35.00. Dash is clean and un-cut. Everything works as it should, right down to the horn and lights etc., so bid to win and have fun! Please Note that if you have less than 5 positive feedbacks, you must contact me prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid. Sorry, but too many jerks out there ruining auctions. This stuff costs money and I have no time to play. Vehicle should be shipped, due to it's age but that is your call and responsibility. I will be happy to help load up etc., and could deliver within a 100 mile radius for fuel costs. International buyers are welcome but please have your shipping details prior to bidding because I do not want to wait weeks for you to make arrangements. MY mind reading skills are very poor, so please ask questions. I will answer them all and gladly have a phone conversation, if you send me your number. Thanks for looking and good luck with this great little truck! Vehicle is sold with a clear California title and CT Bill of Sale. Pay Pal will gladly be accepted but buyer will be responsible for the eBay fees, which run about 3%. I just can't absorb them, sorry. |

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
