Beautiful, Newly Restored Chevy 3100 Stepside Pickup
Offered for sale is a nicely restored, 1952 Chevy 3100 pickup truck. This truck was finished in March 2013 and is ready for some Spring cruising. The 216 CID Thriftmaster engine was rebuilt, to include the carbeaureator and valves with beefed-up push rods. We tried to stay as original as we could, including the 6 volt electrical system. It starts right up with no smoke and the transmission shifts smoothly. The only thing I chose to upgrade is the radial tires, which gives this great old truck a much smoother ride and better handling capability. Also included is a new oak bed with polished stainless steel hardware. It's got new paint, trim and moldings and a brand new floor covering. Did I mention there's NO RUST and a clean undercarriage?
I own several of these advance design trucks from the 50s and my intent is to restore them to original condition and to enjoy driving them around on the weekends. I am currently offering three of these trucks for sale because I'm simply running out of storage space and want others to enjoy them as much as I do. I love the restoration process and hope you appreciate my attention to original detail. Just look at the photos and you will see what I'm talking about. This is not a show truck, but it sure looks like one...it was restored to be driven by an old truck lover like you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
By the way...when driving this beauty around Birmingham, I got so many "Roll Tide" comments that I decided to put some BAMA decals on it. Of course, they are easily removable if you're not a Crimson Tide fan.
This vehicle is available for inspection at an indoor storage unit in Birmingham, Alabama. Please call Scott @ 615-594-8657 to set up an appointment or with any questions that you may have.
TERMS:
Payment will be made in full via wire transfer or certified funds with 72 hours of the end of the auction. A $500 non-refundable deposit is also required via PayPal. Worldwide delivery is also available. Please call for quotes.
Good luck!

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Fri, Apr 24 2015"Corvette" has stood for American muscle, American sports car, and American supercar. In many cases, it still stands for America: liberty on the go, LS-powered freedom. There was also a time when it meant really impressive numbers that didn't equate to really impressive handling, and a not-so-nice cabin. The handling issue really turned the road-legal corner when the C5 Z06 was introduced in 2001, and by the time the super-duper ZR1 ended its run in 2010, Corvette had exorcised practically all of its dynamic demons. But when I took a seat in the 2015 Corvette Z06 on the first day of my week-long loan, I espied a few demons still squatting in the interior. When colleague Seyth Miersma drove the Z06, he wrote, "Listen, I'm not going to be the guy that dogs the Corvette for having a cheap-feeling interior, this generation has put those once-legitimate claims to rest." Well, I am going to be that guy, because I don't think those claims have been put to rest. One day Chevy will give us leather that looks and feels like leather, instead of the astonishingly thin hide that is laid directly on top of the instrument panel structure. This material was set off by white stitching, but there were no seams, just a trail of white stitches. In some places it was hard to tell where the leather ended and the plastic began; or it might all have been the same upholstery, I don't know. Five dollars of foam padding would add five thousand dollars of luxury to the cockpit. One day Corvette will have plastics that don't look so plasticky. I know General Motors can do it. And after years of thinking Corvette seats were too wide and flat, this latest Z06 is almost there. The seatbacks were nice, but the exaggerated side bolstering on the seat bottoms was too narrow and sharp. That's a personal preference, though; other drivers with thinner thighs will think differently. My complaint isn't that the interior isn't luxurious, it's that it's not luxurious enough. If Chevrolet was worried about pricing, it could add some kind of profligate package to the options list. Have some ex-Porsche people design it, call it the Teutonic Splendor Package, slap a massive price on it, and count the money. People will buy it, and no one will ever have to say again, "But the interior..." That said, this test car's cabin had every feature I wanted. The gauge cluster was bright, crisp, and readable in every shade of daylight.
