Up for bid is a 1951 Chevy Cab Over Engine (COE) model 5700. This truck is all original and is rock solid. Just about everything works ,speedometer, oil pressure ,amp gauge, gas gauge, temp gauge, heater. Wipers are slow because I think there is a vacuum leak and have not looked for it. 2 speed rear has a new diaphragm and new lines to it, but not sure if it works because of vacuum leak. The fuel tank has been cleaned and sealed and has a new sending unit and new fill and vent hose. Front end has new wheel cylinders both sides and new brake hoses. Brake shoes were at least 75% so they we not changed. Right front has new wheel bearings and of course new seals both sides. I did not change any thing in back but have new rear seals for the back in boxes. Also have a new brake hose for the rear in a box just haven't put in on. New brake line to the rear end .Seat has been redone. There is absolutely no rot on this truck other than a little blistering at the cab corners .There are a few dents in the doors and fenders but are totally fixable. This truck could easily be restored because every thing is there. The original wiring is there but it is a bit brittle. Or some one could put it on another chassis and make a car hauler out of it . Either way its a great truck to work with they don't come much more solid than this. Also have a new back window rubber, new weather stripping for doors, new door opening weather stripping (goes on inside of cab, also new quickwire wire harness still in box. Wire harness would be ok if you we not going to restore the truck.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
