1949 Chevy Suburban Carryall Clam Shell 3100 Half Ton. Advance Design Barn Find. on 2040-cars
Fulks Run, Virginia, United States
|
This is a 1949 Chevy Suburban Carryall with the Clamshell rear doors. I've had it for a while, but haven't done much to it. I have a couple other project vehicles ahead of this one, so it's time to go. The previous owner had it since 1956. The engine runs fine with no strange noises. The oil looks fine with no water, sludge, or condensation in it. The emergency brakes work, but the rest of the brake system needs to be rebuilt. The truck has rust and spots of bondo here and there, but is pretty solid overall for an eastern truck. The previous owner welded sheet metal on the floor boards. The rear floor is not rotted through anywhere, which is rare for this area. Some of the "Battleship" Linolium in the rear is still in place. The truck has a 6 cyl. engine and a granny 4-speed tranny. The tires hold air, but need replacing. There is a modern wheel/tire on the right rear, but there is an original style wheel that goes with the truck to replace it. There is a crack in the drivers side window and one of the drivers side rear sliding windows. The driver and passenger windows roll up and down, but will need work. The passenger side door sags a little when you open it, so it will need hinge work. The original front seat is in the truck and will need complete restoration. The gauges are faded and I'm not sure if any of them work. The cable retractor on the drivers side tailgate needs help to retract, but the other side works fine. The upper hinges on the clamshell will need some work, but it opens and closes fine. This truck does NOT have either of the rear passenger seats included. I have the clear Virginia Title in hand. Most of these trucks I've had in the past were titled by the VIN on the engine, which is bad if the truck had an engine swap. This truck is titled by the VIN on the data plate, which shows it to be a half-ton 3100, built in September 1949. This truck is fairly rough, but would make a great project. You can't fake patina like this. Please ask any questions you have before bidding on this truck. I will tell you the complete truth and not misrepresent it in any way. The truck rolls easily and I will help load for you, or the shipper. This auction may be ended at any time, if the truck sells locally.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
