1957 Chevy 3100 Suburban Driver, Mostly Original Survivor on 2040-cars

Year:1957 Mileage:12345
Location:

United States

United States

In this auction offered to you is a good running and driving 1957 3100 Suburban. Other than the fold out side windows, and Thomas bus seats in the rear, its an original survivor. The original 235 runs great and the 3 spd on the column shifts nice and smooth. It seems to have been "customized" in the 90's with the ever popular Hammer wheels and silver paint job. There are a few bad spots in the paint and a few bubbles underneath the paint but appears to be pretty solid underneath the paint. Its a great start to an awesome surf wagon or rat rod or just a good old driver like it is. The Michelin tires are in good shape, brakes are good, runs good, oil pressure is good, glass is good, the swing out windows even lock, what more do you need? The front seats are the worst part of the interior, they need to be covered but the rear seats are great and it has new carpet. The floorboards are solid as well as the wood section in the rear by the barn doors. Its a great old truck just like it is, the reserve is low and the highest bidder will get an awesome, super hard to find 57 Suburban. But....if you think like we do at Rusty Nuts Originals, we think it needs a lot and we want to build it for you. We have some suspension ideas, whitewalls, a small block conversion and some surfboards in mind. Give us a buzz at the shop at 864 387 6887 or shoot us an email at andy @ rustynutsoriginals . com to talk about what you want to do with it! We are a full service shop and offer everything from whitewall grinding to clip conversions, air ride, and drivetrain transplants. Visit our website to view some of our work and what we can do for you and this Suburban. If you like it just the way it is, great, its a great old truck and anyone would be proud to have it!

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.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
