Beautiful, rust-free (other than a tiny spot on drivers floorboard - see pics), stock, original, complete 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5 window, half-ton, short-bed pickup truck from the desert Southwest. This barn/garage find sat in a dry, climate controlled garage for almost 20 years waiting for a restoration that never happened. It ran well up to that point but hasn't been started since. The engine turns over and the oil is still pretty clean even after all these years.


According to the VIN of 9JP D 8727, this truck...

9 ...was built in Norwood, OH
J ...in 1951
P ...is a 3100 half-ton short-bed
D ...was built in April
8727 ... and was the 8727th truck built that year

The sheet metal (especially the cab) on this truck is amazing. There have never been any rust repairs ever, anywhere; what you see is what you get. Cab corners are excellent. Primer partially covers what looks like an ancient green respray over the original green. And the original green looks very similar to Forest Service green (see firewall pic). Doors, fenders, hood, grill and bed are great other than the passenger side right front fender. It's got a few dents but is very repairable. Just to be safe, I am including an extra fender (see pics). Also, the grill was replaced with one that is in better condition but the original is included (see pics). Most glass is out but is in good shape (particularly the hard to find curved glass - see pics). The bed has a piece missing in the front (see pics) but it is readily available in the aftermarket. In my opinion, the purity of the sheet metal (and the fact that it's a 5 window) is a MAJOR plus for anyone contemplating a restoration candidate.

The interior is in great shape as well. Seat has been reupholstered to a high standard (see pics). Dash is uncut and unbutchered. Gauges, buttons, knobs and levers are either in place or come with the truck. Kick panels (a notorious rust area) are rock solid (see pics). Again, the only rust spot (and it's very minor) is a small area on the drivers floorboard. The cab corners from the inside view also look excellent. And window frames, heater, glass, wiring harness, etc. are all included with the truck (see pics).

Running gear is solid and complete. The firewall still has original markings from the assembly line supervisor (see pics). Engine is the 216.5CID Stovebolt inline 6 and it spins freely. It ran well until it was placed in storage and hasn't been started since. At some point, electrical was converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. Generator is a vintage AC Delco unit. Transmission is the 4 speed manual. Clutch works well and it shifts in and out of gear properly. A newer 6 lug (stock bolt pattern) Dana 44 rear differential was installed to improve drivability. The installation involved no welding and is very sanitary. If you are contemplating a restomod project it should probably stay in place. I am including a stock rear differential including torque tube and driveshaft (if you want it) at no extra charge. This truck also comes with chrome rims that have baby moon hubcaps. They look awesome but detract from originality. I am including 4 vintage six lug rims (if you want them) that would make it look more stock (see pics).

This is what I consider to be a Holy Grail truck. That means 5 window, short-bed, half-ton, rust-free, complete and original. It represents an exceptional basis for any kind of upgrade. The quality of what you begin with has a direct correlation with the quality of what you finish with. I hope it ends up in the hands of someone who gives it the stewardship it deserves. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer any and all questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have about 150 pictures so you can look at every nook and cranny. Please send me a non-Ebay email address and I will send them to you. It is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, UT (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Thank you very much for your interest.

Chevy Silverado Midnight Edition coming to Chicago

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Between the GMC Canyon Nightfall Edition and Chevy Silverado Custom Sport, the truck divisions of General Motors had no lack of blacked-out custom pickups to showcase at the Detroit Auto Show this year. But now the General has announced one more. Called the Midnight Edition, for this special Silverado blacks out all the trim, including the grille, bumpers, headlamp bezels, tow hooks, fog lamps, side and beltline moldings, 19-inch wheels, bedliner and bowtie emblems. It's based on the Silverado 1500 with the Z71 package, so it also boasts an off-road suspension, locking rear differential, hill-descent control and trailering pack. While it was at it, Chevy has also thrown in rear park assist and power heated door mirrors. Buyers will be able to choose between double- or crew-cab models, but no more than 5,000 examples will be produced this year, each priced at a premium pegged between $1,595 and $1,995 (depending on the model). The Silverado Midnight edition debuts today at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention in San Francisco and will be showcased at the Chicago Auto Show next month, around the time that deliveries will commence. 2015 Silverado Midnight Edition is The New Black Monochrome appearance package to debut at NADA and Chicago Auto Show 2015-01-22 DETROIT – Truck fans know that nothing adds presence to a pickup like basic black. And Chevrolet is taking black to the next level with the Silverado Midnight special edition, on display starting today at the National Automobile Dealers Association Convention & Expo in San Francisco, and making its public debut February 14 at the Chicago Auto Show. Beginning with a black Silverado Z71, the Midnight special edition adds: - An all-black front end with body-colored grille, bumper, headlamp bezels, tow hooks and fog lamps; - Black side moldings and beltline moldings; - 18-inch black painted alloy wheels with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac all-terrain tires; - Special Z71 badges on the doors; - A spray-in bedliner (black, of course); - And the finishing touches – black Chevrolet bowties front and rear. Like all 2015 Silverado 1500 Z71s, Midnight special editions include off-road suspension, a locking rear differential, Hill Descent Control and a trailering package. Midnight special editions also include rear park assist and heated, power-adjusted outside rear-view mirrors.

This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet

Tue, May 9 2017

When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:
