1953 Chevrolet 3100.. 1953 CHEVY 3100 Deluxe Half-Ton Pickup with Five Window Option. The truck is Deep Burgundy with a Gray interior. This rare Classic Pickup underwent an Off-Frame Restoration, six years ago by the experienced car restorer I bought the truck from, including the exterior, interior, chrome, bed & mechanics. He installed a newly rebuilt 6-cylinder 235 cubic inch displacement engine which has only 1100 miles on it (new speedometer shows 610 miles driven). It has a 3 speed "3 on the tree" transmission, chrome valve and air filter covers, manual choke, amber fog lamps, parking lights, working vent windows, floor mats, full instrumentation, owners manual, floor mounted step button starter, new dual side view chrome exterior mirrors, turn signals, polished aluminum heavy duty “Bow Tie” step plates on the running boards which match the sculpted “Bow Tie” polished aluminum heavy duty bed, 4 whitewall All-Season Steel Belted Radial Tires with lots of tread left and filled with nitrogen. In addition the truck has a fully carpeted cab, silver-grey front & rear bumpers and grill, dual rear tail lights and a “Chevrolet” scripted rear tailgate. The electric system is upgraded to 12-Volts for improved power and reliability. In the past year I rebuilt the carburetor, installed a new fuel pump and sending unit, flushed and cleaned the fuel lines, rebuilt the brakes and master cylinder including the parking brake, tightened and replaced the steering king pins and tie rod ends, replaced the outer tie rod ends and repacked and adjusted the front wheel bearings, replaced all shocks, rebuilt the cab heating system and installed new door Hardware and window risers. In September 2012 the distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, wires, points and condenser were replaced. The truck has been garaged and protected from the elements. The truck also has optional fender skirts that can be added to give the rear wheels an“extra touch of class.” The three-owner truck is of Collector Quality Restored Classic Condition. It starts readily, runs strong and shifts well. Note: The manual throttle has been disconnected and the horn is activated by a lever under the steering wheel. Please review the photos carefully to view the condition of the body finish. You may contact me at: rudolph912@gmail.com and I will provide you will my phone number at that time for any additional information. Note that the buyer is responsible for shipping and handling of this vehicle. |

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same
Sat, Jul 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.
Star Wars Car Drives To The Dark Side Of Comic Con
Tue, Jul 22 2014When it comes to designing coveted collectible toys for sale at Comic-Con, the annual celebration of pop culture lifting off Thursday in San Diego, the sky's the limit for the designers at Mattel. Fittingly, the building where Mattel's dreamers conceive of their limited-edition playthings is just down the street from the Los Angeles International Airport. Inside the colorful design center - a Hot Wheels-themed shuttle bus transports employees from Mattel's parking garage - the designers have spent the past year working on 10 toys created especially for the Comic-Con crowd, including a replica of the Batmobile from the upcoming game "Batman: Arkham Knight" and a 9-inch-tall action figure of Superman killer Doomsday. "We don't have to worry about retail. We don't have to worry about margins," said Doug Wadleigh, Mattel's senior vice president of global brand marketing for boys and entertainment. "We don't have to worry about operational efficiencies. We only have to worry about creating the coolest toys for our fans. Period." It also offers some escape from Mattel's reality these days. Like other toy makers struggling in this digital, video-centric age, the company is trying to remain relevant in the retail world. Core brands like Barbie have seen less of a demand, with a 14 percent drop in sales in the first quarter of this year. Mattel had a net loss for the first three months ending March 31 that totaled $11.2 million. But things will at least seem rosier at Comic-Con, where eager buyers for the toys await (the only other place they will be sold is on the Mattel collector's site). Mattel's exclusives this year run between $20 and $85, but elite toys can fetch much more when they're put up for auction. The crown jewel for Wadleigh and his team this year is a Darth Vader die-cast car, the first official collaboration from Hot Wheels and the "Star Wars" franchise. The car - imagine if a Chevrolet Corvette C5 and the villainous Sith lord's helmet had a baby - comes in a sleek black box and encased in a replica of Vader's lightsaber, complete with a swooshing sound effect. "We've been trying to partner with Lucasfilm and Disney on this property for a long time," said Wadleigh. A full-size working replica of the Vadermobile will be on display at Mattel's booth at the massive San Diego Convention Center.
