Up for sale is a rare 1959 GMC 1/2 ton 100 series truck - it is a hard-to-find short wheelbase with its original frame, but has a replacement 5 lug modern rear end w/ highway gears and a Chevy 350 V8 engine and what I think is a Turbo 350 or 400 automatic trans behind it. It is a rare custom cab model that came w/ all the chrome stuff and although not pictured I do have the chrome grill and front bumper that goes in it. It is also a rare big rear window truck and it has solid floorboards and steps with no holes if you can believe that. It does not appear to have any bondo in it, and except in the typically rotted cab corners. There is some rust in the front fenders, but has it has a great cab w/ real nice roof inside and out that is not rusted out above windshield or rear glass areas. There is no carb or radiator in the engine bay, so not sure what year it was last driven but the engine is free and should run if you monkey with it - I did pick up a GM quadrajet carb I can let go with it to help you get her going again. Hood is nice, bed is pretty nice etc - look at these pictures and see what you think. This truck was originally Aqua Blue and White but someone has sprayed it with black spray paint and I think someone replaced the doors many moons ago and they look to have been red maybe - so while its a little ugly, you need to look beyond the spray paint and see what it really is - a super cool and highly sought after truck that is more solid than a lot of 55-59's you will see in this price range and this one has the highly sought after big rear window and V8 automatic drivetrain. Automatic is shifted in the floor - this truck came from the factory a 3 speed I think. Will make somebody one heck of a rat rod or rot rod, etc....

Also has the rarer deluxe heater and no radio hole butchering - perfect dash. Has what looks to be a factory or dealer installed tachometer too.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
