1953 Chevrolet 3100 Street Rod runs and drives excellent, very quick. 

The body is mostly stock with a few mods, shaved handles and bear jaw latches installed for safety and looks.  New glass all the way around and, custom headliner and seat installed.  Custom leather wrapped steering wheel Stewart Warner and Mallory gauges installed.  All of the trim has been chromed for that cool old street rod look.   Custom door handles inside and door panels very simple but looks great.  Polished Stainless steel firewall looks really sharp sets off the engine.  The rear sheet metal and wood is a new kit from Mar K with new steel rear fenders as well.  The wood is Oak with a dark Walnut stain and polished stainless steel strips looks excellent when shines off the bedsides.  The roll pan under the tailgate is custom with louvers and LED 53 Pontiac taillights.  Also the custom stainless steel fuel tank had been relocated under the bed for safety.  The filler neck has been left in the original location and blocked for old-school looks.  The grille is a reproduction chrome unit that really pops and also has custom LED park/turn signals.   I also have a hood available that has a peak added but is not finished that goes with the truck, but I feel the truck looks pretty mean without it.

                The engine is a 1965 Corvette block numbers FOII4HH, 3782870 with 2.02 double hump heads.  There have been many modifications to the engine balanced high compression pistons, roller rockers all the old school go fast goodies.  Weiand tunnel ram intake with two 650 CFM Carter AFB’s.  Sounds very good at the local cruise nights with the header plugs open.  The transmission is a TCI prepped TH350 with a manual automatic valve body and 3000 stall TCI torque converter.  Also there is a B&M star shifter with slapper setting.  The rear end is a GM 10 bolt that has been rebuilt with new bearings, new auburn limited slip carrier and new 3:73 Richmond gears.  In total the truck only has 79 miles on it since it has been put together.

The truck handles and stops great with the 67’ Camaro sub-frame with discs up front and drums in the rear.  The front end has had all of the bushings and ball-joints replaced and new coils have been installed as well.  This truck is a great driver with plenty of power to get you into trouble and upset the neighbors if you want to.   This truck just needs some TLC and little finishing touches just selling it because other projects have taken priority.

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala

Fri, May 23 2014

Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
