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.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

How real is the Chevy Bolt EV and will it really cost $30,000?

Tue, Jan 13 2015

"This is us bragging that we can do this kind of car." That's how Michael Simcoe, GM's executive director for NA exteriors, described the Chevy Bolt EV concept, which made a surprise appearance at the Detroit Auto Show today. While there was talk of a 2017 production debut, this is for sure a concept vehicle. But that means the ideas behind the vehicle are perhaps more important than the details. For example, no one is talking about what size battery might appear in a production Bolt, but Simcoe would talk about how rapid progress in battery improvements made it possible for GM to make the bold Bolt declaration that promises 200 miles and a price tag of around $30,000 (after incentives). But if the Bolt makes it to market, it won't be until 2017 (as rumored) or later, is it really fair to promote the car as being available with a federal tax credit? For one thing, credits for plug-in vehicles may change in the next few years, but if the laws stay the same, each manufacturer is limited to 200,000 vehicles before the credits start to decline. GM is justifiably proud that it's sold over 70,000 Volts thus far, but with a new model coming out later this year and a few years to go until the Bolt potentially arrives, GM could be pushing right up against that 200,000 limit when the Bolt goes on sale. But Volt executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told AutoblogGreen that, "We're just trying to take some of the confusion out." "Think about talking to the average consumer," she said. "First, going through the explanation of how the federal tax credit was set up, how it's being used and so on. [In the industry, we] have the luxury of understanding the nuances of that regulation, but right now people who aren't in the marketplace, they don't have the luxury of all that. It's already hard to communicate the details so we gave them data in a way that is what they're used to seeing." There was one question that drove the two-year Bolt gestation and design period, Simcoe said: What does a better battery offer a vehicle designer? "We've got a number of spaces we play in for powertrain technology and obviously electrification is one of them," he said. "With Volt 1 and then the Spark EV, with that development and batteries getting better for us, we started doing some practical packaging to deliver a vehicle which was not the traditional aero form which you see around electric vehicles.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
