Beautiful, rust-free (other than a tiny spot on drivers floorboard - see pics), stock, original, complete 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5 window, half-ton, short-bed pickup truck from the desert Southwest. This barn/garage find sat in a dry, climate controlled garage for almost 20 years waiting for a restoration that never happened. It ran well up to that point but hasn't been started since. The engine turns over and the oil is still pretty clean even after all these years.


According to the VIN of 9JP D 8727, this truck...

9 ...was built in Norwood, OH
J ...in 1951
P ...is a 3100 half-ton short-bed
D ...was built in April
8727 ... and was the 8727th truck built that year

The sheet metal (especially the cab) on this truck is amazing. There have never been any rust repairs ever, anywhere; what you see is what you get. Cab corners are excellent. Primer partially covers what looks like an ancient green respray over the original green. And the original green looks very similar to Forest Service green (see firewall pic). Doors, fenders, hood, grill and bed are great other than the passenger side right front fender. It's got a few dents but is very repairable. Just to be safe, I am including an extra fender (see pics). Also, the grill was replaced with one that is in better condition but the original is included (see pics). Most glass is out but is in good shape (particularly the hard to find curved glass - see pics). The bed has a piece missing in the front (see pics) but it is readily available in the aftermarket. In my opinion, the purity of the sheet metal (and the fact that it's a 5 window) is a MAJOR plus for anyone contemplating a restoration candidate.

The interior is in great shape as well. Seat has been reupholstered to a high standard (see pics). Dash is uncut and unbutchered. Gauges, buttons, knobs and levers are either in place or come with the truck. Kick panels (a notorious rust area) are rock solid (see pics). Again, the only rust spot (and it's very minor) is a small area on the drivers floorboard. The cab corners from the inside view also look excellent. And window frames, heater, glass, wiring harness, etc. are all included with the truck (see pics).

Running gear is solid and complete. The firewall still has original markings from the assembly line supervisor (see pics). Engine is the 216.5CID Stovebolt inline 6 and it spins freely. It ran well until it was placed in storage and hasn't been started since. At some point, electrical was converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. Generator is a vintage AC Delco unit. Transmission is the 4 speed manual. Clutch works well and it shifts in and out of gear properly. A newer 6 lug (stock bolt pattern) Dana 44 rear differential was installed to improve drivability. The installation involved no welding and is very sanitary. If you are contemplating a restomod project it should probably stay in place. I am including a stock rear differential including torque tube and driveshaft (if you want it) at no extra charge. This truck also comes with chrome rims that have baby moon hubcaps. They look awesome but detract from originality. I am including 4 vintage six lug rims (if you want them) that would make it look more stock (see pics).

This is what I consider to be a Holy Grail truck. That means 5 window, short-bed, half-ton, rust-free, complete and original. It represents an exceptional basis for any kind of upgrade. The quality of what you begin with has a direct correlation with the quality of what you finish with. I hope it ends up in the hands of someone who gives it the stewardship it deserves. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer any and all questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have about 150 pictures so you can look at every nook and cranny. Please send me a non-Ebay email address and I will send them to you. It is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, UT (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Thank you very much for your interest.

Sunday Drive: Performance comes in many shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 19 2017

The Chevrolet Corvette has always stood out as a bastion of reasonably priced performance, and the latest 'Vette has that in spades. And while its expected starting price of around $120,000 certainly isn't cheap, it's an undeniable deal in the supercar world – remember, this thing'll do 210 miles per hour thanks to its 755-horsepower supercharged V8 engine. And did you get a load of that massive rear wing? Team Corvette's longtime foe, the Porsche 911, is similarly hellbent on ultimate performance. And as a reminder of how long the Corvette/911 rivalry has been melting tires we present the 1990 Porsche 911 as reimagined by Singer you see below. It's beautiful, it's green, and it's packing 500 air-cooled horsepower. You don't have to burn gasoline to go fast, as proven by the second-generation Tesla Roadster, which was revealed as a surprise late last week. Elon Musk says it'll be the quickest car in the world with a 0-60 time of just 1.9 seconds. And while you may not think of a semi truck when you think speed, the Tesla Semi can do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat unloaded, or in 20 seconds with a load of 80,000 pounds. Compared to today's crop of diesel semis, that's amazing. Continuing the truck theme, we present an artists rendering of what the next-generation Ram 1500 pickup may look like. Spoiler alert: Ram's mini-semi look is giving way to something much more modern. There may even be a first-of-its-kind split tailgate at the rear. And if you don't think the Ram 1500 has anything to do with performance, we should remind you that it's one of the cheapest ways to get a tire-shredding Hemi V8 engine in America. 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1: All hail the 755-horsepower C7 king This is the first Porsche 911 to get Singer and Williams' 500-horsepower engine Tesla Roadster surprise reveal | 'Quickest car in the world' Tesla Semi Truck revealed: Here are the key details This could be the next-generation 2019 Ram 1500 2019 Ram 1500 spotted with split tailgate

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan

Sat, Jul 22 2017

Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.
