I am selling my 1954 Chevrolet 3100 Pick-up truck. It is the 5 window model. This truck is all original steel, no reproduction sheet metal. This was a frame off restoration that was completed about a year ago. The stock frame has been modified with a 1979 Jaquar rear end and a Mustang II front end. The frame has been painted with a satin black finish .All the brake lines and fuel lines are new The engine is a rebuilt Chevrolet 400 with a mild Cam and a Holley 4 bbl carb. The transmission is a rebuilt turbo 400 transmission with a Lokar shifter. The engine and transmission was rebuilt locally here by Bel Air Ranch in Buellton, California. The fuel tank was relocated underneath the bed and features a locking Harley Davidson cap. The bed is a new oak with stainless steel strips from Mar-K, the wood was finish with several coats of urathane clear. The wheels are new 15 inch Wheel Vintique Rallye wheels with baby moon caps. The truck was professionally painted by Bill Anderson of Hot Rod Alley in Lompoc, who was Sam Foose's painter. The color is PPG Copenhagen Blue base coat with Glasurit Clear coat. This was a rust free truck. The body is stock, no modifications. The bumpers, headlights, taillights, emblems and door handles all new new. The interior and dash are all stock except for the steering column which is from 1958 Bel Air and the steering wheel is a 1959 Impala wheel. The seat was re-upholstered in a brown faux leather with a distressed look. The door panels are new brown cardboard with new door handles. The head liner is new brown cardboard. The gauges are original but they have been rebuilt. It has a new Newport Engineering 2 speed electric wiper conversion. This truck has been rewired with a new EZ wiring harness, 12 volt. The radio is original and does not work. All the rubbers and weatherstripping are new. This is a great running and driving truck. This is a very understated but classic color which looks much better in person. We had listed this truck about a month ago but had a family medical emergency and we were not able to follow through with proper pictures and attention to e-mails, so I do apologize to those who emailed then. The reserve has been considerably lowered as we need to sell. Please e-mail me with any questions, if you'd like to talk I will give you my phone number. Buyer to arrange for pick up. Thanks!

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
