1949 Chevy Suburban Carryall Clam Shell 3100 Half Ton. Advance Design Barn Find. on 2040-cars
Fulks Run, Virginia, United States
This is a 1949 Chevy Suburban Carryall with the Clamshell rear doors. I've had it for a while, but haven't done much to it. I have a couple other project vehicles ahead of this one, so it's time to go. The previous owner had it since 1956. The engine runs fine with no strange noises. The oil looks fine with no water, sludge, or condensation in it. The emergency brakes work, but the rest of the brake system needs to be rebuilt. The truck has rust and spots of bondo here and there, but is pretty solid overall for an eastern truck. The previous owner welded sheet metal on the floor boards. The rear floor is not rotted through anywhere, which is rare for this area. Some of the "Battleship" Linolium in the rear is still in place. The truck has a 6 cyl. engine and a granny 4-speed tranny. The tires hold air, but need replacing. There is a modern wheel/tire on the right rear, but there is an original style wheel that goes with the truck to replace it. There is a crack in the drivers side window and one of the drivers side rear sliding windows. The driver and passenger windows roll up and down, but will need work. The passenger side door sags a little when you open it, so it will need hinge work. The original front seat is in the truck and will need complete restoration. The gauges are faded and I'm not sure if any of them work. The cable retractor on the drivers side tailgate needs help to retract, but the other side works fine. The upper hinges on the clamshell will need some work, but it opens and closes fine. This truck does NOT have either of the rear passenger seats included. I have the clear Virginia Title in hand. Most of these trucks I've had in the past were titled by the VIN on the engine, which is bad if the truck had an engine swap. This truck is titled by the VIN on the data plate, which shows it to be a half-ton 3100, built in September 1949. This truck is fairly rough, but would make a great project. You can't fake patina like this. Please ask any questions you have before bidding on this truck. I will tell you the complete truth and not misrepresent it in any way. The truck rolls easily and I will help load for you, or the shipper. This auction may be ended at any time, if the truck sells locally.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
