1956 Chevrolet 3200 Big Window Step Side Truck, 3rd Owner, Easy Life, All Steel! on 2040-cars
Naples, Maine, United States
|
This is a beautiful '56 Chevy 3200 Big Window step side pick up. It's ALL steel, never any rust and straight as an arrow. (check out the bed sides!) I'm the third owner. It was bought new by a southern gentleman who lovingly cared for it until his health was failing. Sold in the early 90's and went through a full frame-off restoration including full engine rebuild (235 6 cyl) and clutch. The truck was finished, drived approx 3000 miles and parked in a private collection since 1995. It's been woken up with carb cleaning/tank flushing and brakes checked (synthetic fluid) This truck is completely stock mechanically with the exception of a lowering kit including gas shocks. It's tight as a drum and goes down the road like a new vehicle. Zero play in steering, doors tight etc. The beauty of driving this old girl is it's a 3 speed with factory overdrive. It's got long legs in 3rd gear O/D and travels at highway speeds quite well with a nice cruise of 70 or so. It's a very nice looking truck but the paint has some blemishes from time when looking up close. Glass is perfect other than the passenger side vent window is cracked. Please feel free to call with any questions. Kurt 715 410 0735 Truck is located at our home in Naples Maine.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
