Hello Folks! For your consideration:
1951 Chevy 1/2 Ton Pick-Up Truck ground up restoration.

Features: 1962 - 261 cubic inches inline six cylinder engine with 235 - 848 head for more compression, rebuilt with approximately 12k miles(proven runner). Stock cam, all new parts. Offenhauser twin intake with two Holly/Webber deuce carburetors, Fenton cast-iron dual headers, original Offenhauser valve cover, reproduction Offenhauser side cover, S-10 v6 electronic ignition(looks like original), aluminum retro air cleaners, 3 core radiator(never overheats), S-10 T-5 speed transmission fully rebuilt with close ratio B&M shifter. New clutch and all parts, 95 Astro drive line(uncut), original rear end with '58 Chevy pick-up third member with 390 gears. This combination allows the truck to travel 70-75 mph @ 2000rpm with great fuel economy. Dual exhaust done right with 31" Smitty's, pipes are iodized for rust prevention with chrome dual tips.
Power brake with dual master cylinder below floor board, not on firewall, new shoe brakes and all new hardware(stops on a dime).

History: The '51 was taken down to metal and the body was meticulously massaged, aligning every panel, new bedsides, new tailgate, and new head board. Then it was painted 1951 medium cream with clear coat(everybody has a green one). Bed is red oak, custom cut with no holes in the wood; T-bolts hold the aluminum strips down. This truck has no rust and replaced floor pan to accommodate new position for brake master reservoir and shifter position, so it has a cleaner look.

All electrical is new, wiring, one hundred amp alternator with internal regulator(chrome alternator 12v). All rebuilt gauges with auxiliary temperature gage for accuracy. Speedo is new, but sticks on 30mph and I don't know why.

All new tinted glass and all new rubber trim throughout the entire truck. Interior was all insulated with sound-deadening material even in the doors(closes like a fridge).

I didn't finish the interior because I couldn't make up my mind on what color I should use, however a complete interior kit in black goes with the truck. Also, a new custom Audiosound radio with speakers. New window regulators: I have the handles, but you need to provide the window crank handles. Missing glove box liner. Wiper motor converted to electric for reliability and safety. I also have the new rubber floor mat; you'll have to cut a hole for the shifter. Interior was painted in the original color with clear coat added for protection.

A few things that will need to be done, will be hooking up the spotlight(GM script), heater and horn.

Folks, to sum it up: I've owned the truck since the late 90's and drove it every day. Then I decided to restore it. Restoration was completed just 3 years ago and haven't put 500 miles since then. It was never to intend to be sold. Drives better than intended. Steering is tight & suspension is redone.

Winning: I reserve the right to end the auction early, since this truck is for sale locally. No scammers and no low ballers. Serious inquiries only. Will consider out of country sale. Please call my direct line for further consideration.

Please Note: The license plates seen in the photos are not included in the auction, however they may be purchased seperately. California buyers: back license fees are due on vehicle(approx. $360). Title in hand.

If you have zero feedback please contact me before placing a bid or your bid will be canceled.

The remainder is due within 3 days of auction end. If no contact is made within 24 hours we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or sell it otherwise. Please have your finances in order prior to bidding! Most banks and credit unions do not finance vehicles older than 1995 or with more than 100K miles.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise Â– in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
