1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. Truck is a one-owner Texas truck with original title in-hand. Fresh motor and automatic
transmission. Motor and transmission are out of a 1987 C-10 Pickup. 305 motor was professionally rebuilt, bored 30
over, mild cam, and rebuilt heads. Also a freshly rebuilt Turbo 350 transmission with shift kit. On top of the
motor is a 650cfm Holley Carb and nicely polished Chevrolet Bowtie Valve Covers. Top has been chopped 5 inches.
Tilt steering. Brand new glass (which also had to be custom cut) the whole way around. 12v electric harness
conversion, new radiator and electric fan. The front clip of the truck is from a 1978 Mustang II and rear-end from
a 1986 Iroc-Z which gives the truck the lowered stance and advantages of front disc brakes and power steering. New
front grill, bumper, dash gauges, etc. H2 Hummer front bucket seats. Truck is 90% complete and while it's been
driven on the road several times over short distances, it needs fine tuning before it could be a daily driver. In
addition to the small stuff such as mirrors, interior door panels, headliner, etc. it's literally a newly built
truck and will need the steering aligned, transmission kick down cable installed, transmission cooling lines
installed (I have new ones that come with it), dash components installed (ash tray, glove box, etc. - I have the
originals, but you may want to get new ones), the bed of the truck could use some attention. While the wood is
nearly new, it wasn't properly installed and is bowing. I took some specific pictures of the wood bed so please
have a look. I washed the truck right before the pictures, so please note that while the wood appears finished,
it's only been stained (as it's wet in the pictures).
It's literally taken us seven years to finally get the truck to the point it is today and while we'd like to finish
it off, we simply have too many other priorities. The truck really needs someone to spend the time to properly
finely tune it to their liking. The hard part is done. As things sit now, the truck paint is new, but does have
some runs in it. I'd say it's at a 7 out of 10. I was told by the gentlemen that was painting it that it needed a
wet sand to knock off the runs (though not many). There's also some places on the body (around the cab and on the
hood - again, pictured) where there's some cracks in the paint. Though rough in spots, our plan was to patina the
truck which would build off its current character and really pull the entire truck together (not to mention add
value). The truck has been in three photo shoots, the first of which is in a published pinup girl magazine (a copy
comes with the sale). While the truck runs and drives, I think the starter is currently out as it won't turnover
(and battery is nearly new). I've been on international travel so haven't been able to look at it. With the sale of
the truck comes original title and original owner title sign-off, bill of sale from myself, a load of pictures from
the frame up restomod (I'll put them on a USB for you), electronic and printed copy of magazine publication, all
receipts I can locate, and nearly everything needed to complete the project (new windshield wipers, door handles,
etc.). Rare opportunity for a one owner truck. The truck is priced more than fairly. With a good patina and finish
off, the truck will make a great daily driver. Having it sit in the driveway has almost become a pain in that we're
often approached by individuals wanting to use it for a wedding, maternity, art, etc. photo shoots. Lots of
opportunity, just don't have the time and other priorities are pressing.

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt
Mon, Jan 13 2014At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012. We expect our readers have similar stories they'd like to share in the Comments.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado
Sat, Oct 9 2021During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
