I recently acquired this 1955 Chevy 3100 truck, has been in storage for 15 years. Truck is very solid, was restored approx. 30 years ago and is showing its age, there are a couple of rust bubbles starting but are very minor. There has been some sheet metal patching done on the floor in the area of the foot wells, this is very typical for these trucks. All of the cab mounts are 100% solid and the bed of this truck is immaculate! there is only one small rust spot in the drivers side rear fender, there is no body filler in that area, it is right where the wheel well opening is rolled and there is a spot where the roll is tighter than everywhere else and that is where the rust spot is. The wood floor in the bed is 100% solid and all of the steel strips are there and are in great shape. The front fenders seem to be in great shape as well, only very minor rust bubble starting. The cab corners are very solid as well, there is evidence of some body filler but must be minor, a weak magnet test reveals good metal. there is some minor rust bubbles in the cab corner. The inner fenders are all solid. the drivers side door needs a new upper hinge, the door edge and fender are rubbing. The glass is all in good shape, I ran the casting number on the engine and it is a 1962-1967 327ci engine, the previous owner installed a brand new intake, Edlebrock 1405 carb and a Accell HEI super coil and distributor. from what I can tell the carb has not ever had fuel in it. The previous owner died and never finished hooking everything up. The transmission looks to be a TH350 but I haven't confirmed. It has a kick down cable. I have not tried starting the truck, the gas tank needs to be drained and cleaned, it is full of 15 year old gas. I changed the oil and the old oil looked good. The engine does turn over freely. The tires are dry rotted, they hold air but will need to be replaced. Stock suspension with drum brakes all the way around. The odometer shows 58,748 I have no reason to believe that this isn't accurate. The truck has ALABAMA license plates on it. Both the previous owners are now deceased, I purchased the truck from the widow of the most recent owner. The truck will come with a Iowa Bonded Title. The most recent owner did not transfer the title when he purchased it 15 years ago and he died 10 years ago. The guy who owned it prior to the previous owner has also died and we attempted to contact his family to see if they could do a duplicate title but we were never able to make contact. The bonded title is transferable and you will have no issues transferring ownership. I have done all the required work to obtain a title and have a written notarized bill of sale from the widow explaining the circumstances and verifying ownership. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (319)631-2009 of email me and I will do my best to answer the question.

Our favorite mid-engine Corvette theories and rumors
Tue, Sep 13 2016The mid-engine Corvette! We just saw blurry photos through the foliage, and are hearts are all aflutter because it means that this car is real. And it's the most " never before" Corvette since 1984. Which leads us to all kinds of wacky theories and speculation. Everybody knows something or heard from a guy. None of those guys (or gals) from GM are talking to Autoblog, to be clear. But that won't stop us from stirring the pot. Let's go over a few point-by-point. The pushrod engine will be replaced by an overhead-cam V8 Car and Driver has repeatedly reported that an overhead-cam engine will come after the mid-engine Corvette's debut with an old-school pushrod. We've heard the same thing firsthand, albeit from a source with no connection to the development of the Corvette or powertrain. "At some point two valves can't pass future emissions regulations," said the guy we know. While the pushrod engine is compact, the design makes it difficult - if not impossible - for sophisticated variable valve timing (and lift) systems that control combustion with more precision. Hasty conclusion: The pushrod engine has a finite life in front of it. This one's a lock, it's a just a matter of when. Bowling Green's new paint shop is really the mid-engine assembly line Credit to Reddit for this one. Like we said, everybody knows a guy. But let's look deeper. The new paint facility costs $439 million dollars and adds 450,000 square feet, almost half the size of the existing plant. Plus GM announced another $290 million in upgrades at Bowling Green Assembly. That sure sounds like a lot of money, but you can actually spend that much on a paint booth. Porsche spent 500 million Euros (about $561 million dollars) to add the Macan assembly to its Leipzig, Germany plant in 2014. Chrysler shelled out $850 million for a paint shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan. GM spent $600 million for a new paint shop at the Fairfax (Kansas City) plant. Honda, on the other hand, is working on a thrifty $210 million project in Marysville, Ohio that includes a 300,000 square foot expansion, and the low-volume Acura NSX facility only cost $70 million. Hasty conclusion: The square footage and cost could easily mean a new assembly line instead of (or in addition to) a paint line. And if the NSX plant was really that cheap, GM could have hidden a similar sum in its existing announcements.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
