I am selling my 1954 Chevrolet 3100 Pick-up truck. It is the 5 window model. This truck is all original steel, no reproduction sheet metal. This was a frame off restoration that was completed about a year ago. The stock frame has been modified with a 1979 Jaquar rear end and a Mustang II front end. The frame has been painted with a satin black finish .All the brake lines and fuel lines are new The engine is a rebuilt Chevrolet 400 with a mild Cam and a Holley 4 bbl carb. The transmission is a rebuilt turbo 400 transmission with a Lokar shifter. The engine and transmission was rebuilt locally here by Bel Air Ranch in Buellton, California. The fuel tank was relocated underneath the bed and features a locking Harley Davidson cap. The bed is a new oak with stainless steel strips from Mar-K, the wood was finish with several coats of urathane clear. The wheels are new 15 inch Wheel Vintique Rallye wheels with baby moon caps. The truck was professionally painted by Bill Anderson of Hot Rod Alley in Lompoc, who was Sam Foose's painter. The color is PPG Copenhagen Blue base coat with Glasurit Clear coat. This was a rust free truck. The body is stock, no modifications. The bumpers, headlights, taillights, emblems and door handles all new new. The interior and dash are all stock except for the steering column which is from 1958 Bel Air and the steering wheel is a 1959 Impala wheel. The seat was re-upholstered in a brown faux leather with a distressed look. The door panels are new brown cardboard with new door handles. The head liner is new brown cardboard. The gauges are original but they have been rebuilt. It has a new Newport Engineering 2 speed electric wiper conversion. This truck has been rewired with a new EZ wiring harness, 12 volt. The radio is original and does not work. All the rubbers and weatherstripping are new. This is a great running and driving truck. This is a very understated but classic color which looks much better in person. We had listed this truck about a month ago but had a family medical emergency and we were not able to follow through with proper pictures and attention to e-mails, so I do apologize to those who emailed then. The reserve has been considerably lowered as we need to sell. Please e-mail me with any questions, if you'd like to talk I will give you my phone number. Buyer to arrange for pick up. Thanks!

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept
Sat, Nov 22 2014"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.
