1948 Chevrolet 3100 half ton pick-up. This truck is from Kansas and is in what I think is pretty good condition for an un-restored truck that has been outside for 66 years. It is mostly complete and has a patina that everyone is looking for right now. Truck looks to be original un-messed with condition. If you are looking for one to restore this one would be a good candidate because of its original and complete condition. If you want to build a patina hot rod the look of this one is tough to beat. Put it on that S10 frame with modern V8 or whatever. Or just use it for parts for another truck project. Your imagination is the limit. Please review the pictures carefully, ask questions. This is a 66 year old, non-operational truck. You decide its value. MECHANICAL CONDITION: Not presently running nor has it ran for many years. Has what looks to be the original six cylinder engine with original floor shift transmission. I think it’s a four speed. I have not tried to turn the engine over but I assume it is stuck. Transmission seems to go into gear but cannot verify its condition. Brakes don’t work. Safe to assume all need rebuilt, replaced, or at the very least taken apart and inspected. Truck dose roll and steer. I was able to load on my trailer with a small winch without any problem. Tires are in very poor condition but hold air for weeks, I assume they have tubes in them. Original 15” wheels with tabs for center caps-no center caps included with the truck. BODY CONDITION: You be the judge. Some might call this rough others only wish they could reproduce patina like this. Looks to be all original and un-messed with. The exception being the hood. The truck is red and the hood is from a green truck. Hood is included but not attached. No tail gate. No bed floor. Truck has rust in all the usual places for something that has been outside for 66 years. Cab corners, fender bottoms, floor board, kick panel area, etc. Grill bars are dented, missing emblems from hood. Has windshield and driver’s side door glass but they are in poor condition. Passenger side door glass is broken but window frame is there and rolls up and down. Doors shut and latch. I was attracted to the truck because of its patina and being mostly complete. Interior condition: Seat frame, gauges, radio delete panels, and dash chrome all present. Missing inside door mechanism for the passenger side. TITLE: Good clear and current Kansas title. Location: Located in Auburn Indiana (46706). Shipping: All shipping charges and arrangements are to be made by buyer. I can assist in loading but can’t single handedly load it. Truck does roll and steer. Tires hold air. No brakes, does not run. TERMS OF SALE Please remember this is a "PUBLIC AUCTION". As with all public auctions, the reserve price is not made public.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt

Fri, Oct 31 2014

The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners. Scroll down for video commentary from General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Loh and a clip of the Golden Calipers being handed over. Also, check out GM's full press release on its big win.
