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.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head
Fri, Jan 30 2015"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
