No Reserve - 1957 Chevy Gmc Panel Wagon Van Suburban Project - 99% Original on 2040-cars
Ripley, Mississippi, United States
Engine:V-6
Drive Type: Manual 4 Speed
Model: Suburban
Trim: Panel Wagon
Mileage: 999,999
Saved this from a scrap yard here in Mississippi. Appears to have been in Mississippi for quite a long time as the license plate lists a local county but no longer has any paint on it. I am not extremely well educated on these models, but it appears to be a 99% original GMC panel wagon. Straight 6 and a manual 4 speed. Engine was switched from generator to alternator. Since the panel wagon came from the factory with solid sides, I believe the windows were added later in it's life. However, the work was very well done. Windows slide down to open and move freely. Body is extremely straight and solid considering the year and circumstances (found in a scrap yard) with the obvious exception of the driver side door. Appears to be original paint...possibly Coronado Yellow. Areas of rust through are shown in pics along with drivers side step-up is completely gone (pic shown from below). Wood and slide rails in rear appear to be original and in solid condition. Front floor pans have been repaired - again pretty good work. Frame is original, unmolested and in great condition. Only non-original parts appear to be alternator, rear windows, floor pan patch and bench seat. Tires hold air...this is a free rolling truck.
Motor and trans are both locked up solid. No brakes.
Since I got it from a scrap yard, obviously no paperwork...sold with Bill of Sale. If you need one, I can get an expedited title (10-12 business days) for $100 extra. Just notify me if this is the case.
I am glad to answer any questions to the best of my ability. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of end of auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early as truck is for sale locally as well. If you want to work out a deal, I can be reached on my cell phone - 205-789-7528.

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.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
