1953 Chevrolet 3100 Hot Rod Pickup 327 V-8 on 2040-cars
Draper, Utah, United States
1953 Chevrolet 3100 Street Rod runs and drives excellent,
very quick. The body is mostly stock with a few
mods, shaved handles and bear jaw latches installed for safety and looks. New glass all the way around and, custom
headliner and seat installed. Custom leather
wrapped steering wheel Stewart Warner and Mallory gauges installed. All of the trim has been chromed for that
cool old street rod look. Custom door
handles inside and door panels very simple but looks great. Polished Stainless steel firewall looks
really sharp sets off the engine. The
rear sheet metal and wood is a new kit from Mar K with new steel rear fenders
as well. The wood is Oak with a dark Walnut
stain and polished stainless steel strips looks excellent when shines off the
bedsides. The roll pan under the
tailgate is custom with louvers and LED 53 Pontiac taillights. Also the custom stainless steel fuel tank had
been relocated under the bed for safety.
The filler neck has been left in the original location and blocked for
old-school looks. The grille is a
reproduction chrome unit that really pops and also has custom LED park/turn
signals. I also have a hood available
that has a peak added but is not finished that goes with the truck, but I feel
the truck looks pretty mean without it. The
engine is a 1965 Corvette block numbers FOII4HH, 3782870 with 2.02 double hump
heads. There have been many
modifications to the engine balanced high compression pistons, roller rockers
all the old school go fast goodies.
Weiand tunnel ram intake with two 650 CFM Carter AFB’s. Sounds very good at the local cruise nights
with the header plugs open. The
transmission is a TCI prepped TH350 with a manual automatic valve body and 3000
stall TCI torque converter. Also there
is a B&M star shifter with slapper setting.
The rear end is a GM 10 bolt that has been rebuilt with new bearings,
new auburn limited slip carrier and new 3:73 Richmond gears. In total the truck only has 79 miles on it
since it has been put together. The truck handles and stops great
with the 67’ Camaro sub-frame with discs up front and drums in the rear. The front end has had all of the bushings and
ball-joints replaced and new coils have been installed as well. This truck is a great driver with plenty of
power to get you into trouble and upset the neighbors if you want to. This truck just needs some TLC and little finishing touches just selling it because other projects have taken priority. |

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers
Thu, Apr 2 2015What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.
GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair
Mon, Dec 19 2016In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut – which could pressure the stock."

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
