1952 Chevrolet Suburban on 2040-cars
Buffalo, New York, United States
I've had a lot of interest in my Suburban.
This seems to be a favorite usable collectible with many people.....everyone has a story or a memory....
I've been really firm on my price.......but I know in my heart that I must let her go.
Your offers need to come up a little for me to accept....give it some consideration.
Beautifully restored 1952 Chevy Suburban originally from Southern California…..a surf wagon….seats 8
passengers……period correct Tucson Tan paint.
Rear clam shell tailgate.
The original 216 ci babbitt motor was upgraded with a late 50s full presure 235 ci straight 6 chevy motor (Chevy's
improvement over the legendary 216). Has a 4 speed transmission on the floor, with granny gear, and a later 50s
rear axle (highway ratio) with an open driveshaft….the torque tube is gone!!! and so are the torque tube problems
(such as leaks & difficulty changing rear end gears to more favorable highway gears). 12 volt alternator. She
drives out very easy & cruises the highway nicely. The clutch engages smoothly and brakes are in correct excellent
shape. The suspension is stock and springs and shocks work nicely together, providing an exceptional smooth ride
(this is the best Advance Design Chevy Truck I've ever driven) and I've had many during my 40 years of car
collecting.
The paint is driver quality and it has a nice finish. The chrome is excellent. Glass is all good….new rubber
seals everywhere. Has a rare & expensive front grill bumper guard. Lots of other accessories approximately $4K in
accessories alone.
The interior is beautiful with ALL 3 rows of seats. New headliner. Carpet over original wooden floor. I moved
the front seat back a few inches to make it more comfortable for me to drive….I'm 6'4'', it can be put back to
its original position in a half an hour. Lots of accessories….Premium Grill Guard, Special Chevrolet Steering
Wheel, Dash Fan, Windshield Washer Bottle, Stainless Strips on all Fenders, Fog Lights, Turn Signals with
correct rear lights and Dual Exhaust.
I think it was restored in So. Cal. in the early 2000s. The only flaws are two dime size bubbles on the right side
fenders..no rust, paint just didn't adhere properly…no change in 6 years….never bothered me enough to fix them.
There is a slight rear seal oil leak…I attached a unique catch basin so no oil spots on the floor…..I drain
the catch basin only when I'm changing the engine's oil & filter.
This truck needs nothing but to wash, wax, drive & enjoy.
Inspections are welcomed & encouraged. I'm an old car guy that has enjoyed old cars for 40 years. When I buy a
car, I check it out very closely. It's for me to use & enjoy. I have never bought a vehicle to flip. I'm going
to be relocating and I'm downsizing my collection.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
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.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
