YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1955 CHEVY PICKUP. THE MODEL IS A 3100 AND IS A 2ND SERIES MODEL WITH SMALL BACK WINDOW. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK 2 1/2 YEARS AGO TO HAVE A TRUCK TO HAUL MATERIALS FOR A BARN I WAS WORKING ON. THE BARN AND PROJECTS ARE COMPLETE AND I RELUCTANTLY OFFER THE TRUCK FOR SALE. I WAS A MECHANIC, NOT A BODY MAN, AND I THOUGHT I COULD BUY THE TRUCK AS IS AND HAVE SOME FUN AND RUN THE TRUCK AS IT WAS. THE TRUCK WAS IN A COUPLE SHADES OF GRAY PRIMER WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND IT WAS RUNNING ON 5 CYLINDERS. THE FELLOW I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM WAS USING THE TRUCK TO HAUL MATERIALS FOR A GARAGE HE WAS BUILDING. THE ENGINE RAN TERRIBLE WITH A BURNT VALVE SO I PULLED THE HEAD AND HAD IT REBUILT. NEW VALVES AND INSERTS WERE INSTALLED TO ALLOW ENGINE TO RUN ON UNLEADED FUEL. I PUT THE HEAD BACK ON BUT NOW THE ENGINE SMOKED. I PULLED THE ENGINE AND HAD THE BOTTOM END REBUILT. THE COMPLETE OVERHAULED INCLUDED TURNING THE CRANKSHAFT AND REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT AND ALL LIFTERS. THIS ENGINE HAS SOLID LIFTERS. THE ENGINE NOW RUNS GREAT AND IS VERY DEPENDABLE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS RESEALED AS WELL AND THE REAR END. THE BRAKES HAD BEEN DONE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER BUT I REPLACED THE PARKING BRAKE CABLES AND CLEANED UP ALL THE LINKAGES. THE STEERING BOX WAS RESEALED AND ALL ENGINE COMPARTMENT LINKAGES CLEANED UP AND LUBRICATED FOR PROPER OPERATION. THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY DARK GREEN SO I HAD THE FIREWALL PAINTED BEFORE I INSTALLED THE ENGINE. ALL OF THE FELT SEALS FOR THE THROTTLE, SHIFTER AND SUCH WERE REPLACED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OUT.. I DID REPLACE THE BATTERY TRAY AND BRACKETS AS THEY WERE IN POOR CONDITION. THE FELLOW TOLD ME NOT TO BRING A MAGNET WHEN I LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AND I WILL TELL YOU THE SAME. THIS WAS AN OLD WORK TRUCK SOMEWHERE. THERE IS BODY PUTTY IN THE FENDERS, DOORS AND LOWER CORNERS OF THE CAB. THE TAILGATE WAS MISSING WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND THE FRONT OF THE BED WAS ALL BENT UP AND SIDE STEPS OF THE BED WERE IN VERY POOR CONDITION. I REPLACED THE BED FRONT, SIDE STEPS AND BRACKETS AND INSTALLED A TAILGATE. I PAINTED THE REST OF THE TRUCK SEMIGLOSS BLACK TO KIND OF MATCH THE NEW PARTS. A LATER MODEL SEAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN THE TRUCK. I LOCATED AN ORIGINAL SEAT FRAME AND HAD IT RESTORED AND RECOVERED TO LOOK AS ORIGINAL. THE SEAT ADJUST PROPERLY AND IS VERY COMFORTABLE. WHEN THE SEAT WAS OUT I TOOK EVERYTHING OUT OF THE DASH AND PAINTED THE INTERIOR WHITE WITH BLACK FLOOR. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT WORK WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK SO I PICKED UP A USED DASH AT HERSHEY A COUPLE YEARS AGO. IT NOW SHOWS 3,929 MILES BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ORIGINAL MILES ARE. THE DASH HAD BEEN CUT OUT FOR A LATER MODEL RADIO SO I INSTALLED A BEZEL AND AN AM/FM CD PLAYER. THE 2 SPEAKERS ARE LOCATED ON BRACKETS UP UNDER THE DASH. I WANTED TO KEEP THE INTERIOR ORIGINAL LOOKING OTHER THAN THE RADIO. THE KNOB TO THE RIGHT OF THE RADIO IS THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL. I ADDED THE STANDARD HEATER AND INSTALLED A NEW BLOWER MOTOR IN THE HEATER. THE INTERIOR FINISHED OUT NICE WITH NEW RUBBER MAT AND BLACK HEADLINER. THE BED HAD A PIECE OF 1/2 PLYWOOD THAT WAS IN POOR CONDITION. I HAD SOME OLD PINE FLOORBOARDS AND INSTALLED THEM FOR A GOOD SOLID FLOOR. I ADDED THE AFTERMARKET TURN SIGNALS AND REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHTS AND FRONT TURN SIGNAL/PARKING LIGHTS FOR SINGLE LIGHT OPERATION OF THE TURN SIGNALS. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER HAD SEAT BELTS. I REPLACED THE RIGHT DOOR WINDOW AS IT WAS CRACKED. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND IS NICE AND CLEAR. THE LEFT DOOR WINDOWS AND RIGHT VENT WINDOWS SHOW THEIR AGE WITH BUBBLES IN THE SAFETY GLASS. THE CHANNELS AND RUBBER FOR THE VENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I PAINTED THE RIMS RED RUSTOLEUM JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A DEPENDABLE RAT ROD LOOKING 55 CHEVY PICK UP OR A GREAT TRUCK TO FINISH FOR SHOW, THIS IS A GREAT CANDIDATE. I'VE TRIED TO TAKE PICTURES TO SHOW THE TRUE CONDITION OF THE BODY. I HAD PLANNED TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR FENDERS, PROBABLY THE DOORS AND MAYBE THE BED SIDES IF I WAS GOING TO GET THE TRUCK READY TO SHOW. MY LOSS CAN BE YOUR GAIN. I HAVE WHAT I THINK IS A VERY FAIR RESERVE (A FRACTION OF MY INVESTMENT). PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids
Mon, Dec 28 2015The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
