Up for sale is my 1951 Chevrolet Pickup, 3100 half ton, with small block Chevrolet coupled to a 4 speed manual transmission with air conditioning that works! Runs and drives absolutely fantastically!! It is a really fun truck to drive! Must see the video to see how well it drives in all 4 speeds. Mustang 2 front end with disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. No understeer or oversteer. Car drives straight going down the road at 60 mph! Brakes stop the car on a dime and pull "straight". Transmission shifts well in all 4 forward gears (as well as reverse) and quickly gets up to highway speeds. All synchros are excellent, clutch is excellent with no clutch chatter nor anything of the sort. Excellent oil pressure running at 40-60 lbs the whole time, Starts with a quick turn of the ignition switch everytime, runs cool, does not overheat, headers with very mild exhaust mufflers, can be driven all day with no problems. 12 Volt conversion, truck charges well and holds a charge as seen by the amp gauge. Oil pressure, gas gauge, amp meter, speedometer, tach all work, radio works nicely. Low and high beam headlights, turn signals, running lights, reverse lights, dash lights all work. Horn and wipers currently not working. Boxed frame up front with coilovers, well done installation as shown by the quality of drive, mechanically excellent, very strong. No strange noises, no rattles, just a very strong mechanical truck where all of the hard work has been done and done correctly. These are modifications which were done some time ago and have been proven to be correctly done over time by the way the truck continues to drive so well and so straight. You are more than welcome to come and drive it and see for yourself. We have placed a video here so that you can see how it runs through the gears going down the road at highway speeds. The air conditioning works and blows cold air inside the cabin of the truck. Tires are near new and have full tread. Wheels are fresh with new hubcaps.

The truck was restored some years ago and now it is beginning to show some age on the previous restoration. You can see by the pictures that the truck sat outside after it was restored and has some rust peaking through the older paint job. I have crawled all over it and the floors are excellent, super solid. Looks as though cab corners were fixed with metal and these are solid as well. Doors close perfectly and gaps on the doors and hood are excellent when closed. Doors close well and hit the latch well. There is no door sag and the truck never appears to have been in an accident. What needs to be done are cosmetics. This includes the wood for the bed and a repaint of the truck. The doors are incredibly straight, door bottoms look good and the truck will not require a lot of dent repair. As you look down the side of the body, it is very straight in its reflection. The bed panels are very straight and will require little if any body work. Chrome is presentable, with some fading on the upper two chrome bars of the grill. Bumpers look good. If you currently look online you will see nicely done examples in the $25000 to $30000 range. This truck is not that far away from that. I like the fact that it is a 4 speed manual transmission and that the truck retains its original steering column and steering wheel. I have seen some modified trucks where late model additions were not tastefully done. This preserves the "original" feel of the truck while having late model running gear and air conditioning. It is a super fun truck to drive!

Here is a video of the truck:

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe

Fri, Aug 14 2015

A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013

The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:
