1953 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 Ton
Pickup
This little looker is a
1953 Chevrolet 3100 custom build restoration. Originally from
California the interior and the exterior have been redone with
several added features all on the original frame. All new glass. Its painted flat black with wonderful green
and creme pin striping that accent the hood, headlights, door
handles, dash, and tail gate of the truck. The front bumper is a
custom piece, the rear deck below the tailgate has been modified for aesthetics. The wooden bed has been refreshed. The rear fenders are mini-tub in the box to help fit wider tires. The gas tank is a 10 gallon spun aluminum tank that has
been relocated to the bed. It
sports a Heidts Mustang II front end with Heidts tubular upper and lower control arms. It has 4 wheel disc brakes, with an S10 Disc rear end.
New rubber all around on Southern Mint* painted Chevy rally rims with beauty rings and center caps. It
has been fitted with a modern dual compressor air ride suspension system front,
back, side to side from AirBagIt. It has 6 Sromberg carburetors that feed a 348 chevy block with 7,400 original miles. The engine was pulled from a 1958 fire truck and all of the accessories were replaced brand new. There is a pair of Sanderson block hugger headers, which flow through a set of flow masters out the rear end. The engine is mated to a rebuilt Turbo 350 3 speed transmission, with a Lokar shifter on the floor. The truck has all new wiring from speedway. The interior has been
completely redone with custom upholstery on the seat, door cards, shifter boot, and visors. It features a beautiful dashboard out of a 1953 Pontiac
Chieftain with custom pin stripping on the dash panel. The steering wheel
is originally from a 1958 Buick Roadmaster. There has been hundreds of hours and fistful's of
money put into this. Fortunately for you, the
seasons are changing and its time for me to put the money from this
truck into another restoration project. Maine doesn't require titles for
vehicles manufactured before 1995. We can help with shipping arrangements if needed. Please use the ask a question link below if you have any question or comments. Thank you for reading happy bidding =) |

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
