1957 Chevy 3200 Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
Rochester, Washington, United States
|
This trucking has been sitting in my garage for the last 10 years. Started on a restore—which was fine as long as I was working. Now retired with a fixed income no money to work on (shinny-red). So I guess it is time for it to move on. I have had this truck since 2003 and it has been in the family since 1985. The truck is 1957 chevy 3200 with a big back window. A 1968 Corvette 327 motor. It has a 4 speed Muncie rock crusher transmission with Hurst shifter. The rear end is stock 57. New Parts – Front wheel bearings changed to Roller bearings. Master Cylinder – all four wheel cylinders rebuilt - front & back Chrome bumpers – baby moons – chrome rims (8 lug) and tires. Radiator for the motor. Most of the chrome on the motor has been replaced. The bed is California Black Oak that was logged, milled and planed in Meyers Flats, California for me. Body Condition – needs both fenders sectioned at the bottom (normal spot). Windshield needs replaced. The drivers door needs worked on. Cab corners good. Bed rails needs work. There is rust here and there. The truck does start and run…..…NOT road worthy….needs
exhaust pipes…..seats need to be installed (63 Chevy SS Buckets). Breaks need adjusted. Shifter need adjusted. I know I am missing something any questions just ask. This is a as-is sale |

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
