This probably one of the rarest 1956 CHEVROLET SUBURBANS EVER OFFERED ON EBAY!! Bold statement I know. As you look at the pictures you will see that there is an EXTRA SIDE WINDOW. This has an extended length. No, it isn't an airport limo or transport. As far as I can tell there were never any more seats that the 2 front seats. I am unsure if the front seats are original or not and there is also a nice modern pair included as per the pics. Also please notice there are only the 2 front doors and the 2 rear barn doors. I believe this is 99% original as far as parts go. Has the straight six that appears to be original as well as the " granny " 4 speed. Very little rust as you see in the pics also very little damage primarily the left rear taillight area. The engine turns by hand and the suburban was said to run good when parked in the barn a dozen years ago. Although I haven't tried I am sure it would fire with a prime and a battery. I don't think that is important as this will either be fully restored or street rodded. I have been playing with "fun" cars for over 40 years and this is the first EXTRA LONG TRI-5 SUBURBAN I have seen. I have spoke with other Chevy afficianados who also agree that they haven't seen another. Please note there are (2) unique features a PTO cable on the dash and also (4) roof corner lights. It makes me think that it may have been a coroner car , hearse , military or government use.There's probably some guys out there that know about this and I invite your information. This would make a fantastic Bonneville racer , airstream , canned ham , wood boat , or classic race car tow truck or the talk of the beach non woodie beach wagon. How about a custom lowrider limousine? Restored this would break the bank at Barrett Jackson! The rarity dictates the starting value. THERE IS NO RESERVE AND WHEN YOU START BIDDING YOU ARE BUYING!! PLEASE BID ACCORDINGLY! I will gladly answer any questions. I have a clean title in my name. Check the pics and have fun viewing one RARE 1956 CHEVY 2 DOOR! keywords: 1956 CHEVY CHEVROLET 2 DOOR BARN DOOR SUBURBAN 3/4 TON COLLECTOR ANTIQUE JAY LENO FOOSE BOYD JESSE JAMES

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
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.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
