Up for sale is my 1959 chevrolet Suburban Hot Rod with an aluminum ZZ4 crate motor that produces over 355 hp and over 400 ft.lbs. of torque! This is a hot rod that will carry your whole family + dogs in style, and fast! And it drives, shifts, stops, etc like a dream! This Suburban was converted a few years ago by its previous owner from its original state (an army-issued vehicle with a 6 cylinder engine, manual trans on the tree) to what it is today- one kick-a*@ fun car! It has the ZZ4 crate motor, rebuilt 350 trans, power steering, power brakes, side pipes, Edelbrock carb, upgraded suspension, rear end, brakes, steering column, steering wheel, ac/heat unit, etc. The Suburban features full glass all the way back, three rows of seats with new upholstery, new carpet up front, new gauge cluster, new cd/radio unit, freshly painted dash, new front glass, awesome chrome wheels, rear barn door style doors (which I think more functional than the clamshell style), and THE ORIGINAL WOOD FLOOR! And being a southern vehicle, there are no nightmare rust issues here! Yes you will find some surface rust, and a small spot here or there that would need attention to be perfect (see pics), but thats it- come check it out for yourself! No rotted out floorboards, quarters, doors, etc. Again- it even has the original wood floor! Now this was not built as a high-end show car- it was intended to be a fun daily family cruiser. Where I am going with this is that while the car is 100% functional, very responsive, and 100% ready to use and enjoy right now as is, it still needs some finishing, as mentioned below. Or it would make a great candidate for a complete frame-off restoration (either now or sometime down the road); all the panels are straight, doors open and shut and are aligned properly, hood is aligned properly, etc. It really is a very straight car with very few issues, and its 54 years old! And its a 3 owner car- me, the last guy, and the US Army! Now for some of the issues: it needs a paint job if you do not like the kind of rat rod look it has going for it right now… The ac/heat unit is not hooked up right now (never was under my ownership), cd player is there but needs speakers, speedo is not hooked up, it needs a headliner, its missing a windshield wiper (I kept it garaged and never drove it in the rain), there is no carpet in the rear (the wood floor is exposed on purpose) and some of the rear windows will need attention (a few of the panels are cracked and most of the rear windows could use new seals). Oh and there are no seatbelts in the rear… Other than that I can’t think of any other major issues. The Suburban is being sold “as is”, so of course it would be great if the buyer can come see the vehicle in person here in Marietta GA. If that is not possible please ask any and all questions before bidding! I have it garaged and can help with transporting the vehicle (storing it for a short time, meeting the driver of the transport company, etc)- I have shipped many vehicles in the past and am very familiar with the process. If you just have to have it and can’t wait 7 days for the auction to end, make me an offer and if we come to an agreement I will add a buy-it-now option to the listing. I have thoroughly enjoyed owning this vehicle and will be very sad to see it go, but am trying to purchase a house, so some toys must go :( Thanks for checking out my auctions! |

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award
Tue, Nov 17 2015It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly
Fri, Sep 2 2016Workers 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:
