Hello folks here we have a 1951 chevrolet truck titled as a 1948 the history I know about it is this. I bought it from a man in west Albuquerque he told me he got it from some small town out west here in New Mexico it had no title when he  got it but he went through all the trouble with the MVD to get it bonded, vin inspected and and a nation wide vin check after a about a year he finally got the title since it had 48 doors he had it titled as a 48 then I bought it and made some modifications 


Suspension 
This truck sits on a 1976 Nova sub-frame (same as Camaro) standard 10 bold GM rear end  original leaf springs with 3 inch lowering blocks has disk brakes in front new pads and smooth disks new brake master cylinder power steering and power brakes.

Engine/Trans
The motor is a Stock 350 5.7 liter V8 Came out of a 1973 Monte Carlo this was not the original motor from the car and the owner had told me the engine was replaced some time ago and had about 50,000 miles on the motor. It has had all gaskets replaced and dressed up with new finned aluminum valve covers and air cleaner has a 4 barrel Holley Carburetor stock GM aluminum intake New clear HEI distributor and headers. The transmission came out of the 76 Nova its a 350 turbo and was in very good running condition. the Odometer had about 75,000 on it or it could have been 175,000 I'm not sure if it has gone around once before but the owner told me it was the original miles on the car and the car it self was in very good shape. I've replaced the front and rear seals on it not because they were leaking but just to be on the safe side.

Body
As for the body I know the main concern is rust the cab corners are very solid I've only seen some small pin holes on the out side the inner kick panels and driver doort  are the only areas with rust driver driver side is the worse passenger has two small holes about one inch long the bed still actually has the wood and metal slats in it. I was planning on doing a C-notch in the rear but the bed was in too good of condition so I decided to leave it alone. as for the rest of the body it will need some work to get it all straight if you plan on painting and restoring I personally wanted the patina look this is a solid body to start out with for restoration.

Interior
The inside is painted a metalic silver and cobalt blue door panels and bench are wrapped in a Mexican blanket grey rug battery is in the original location and the Nova wire harness was used under the dash has the original gauges and the fuel gauge is working has new sending unit and a voltage reducer from 12 to 6 volt turn signals work 4 way flashers work dash lights work has a aftermarket set of gauges to keep an eye on water temp and oil pressure needs a head liner missing driver door garnish molding 

Running Condition
This truck rides very nice easy steering and stops on time without the hard braking transmission shifts smooth. very fun ride I built it to cruise and to get me places and not for hot rodding but it will burn some rubber and get up and go I love driving it but I've got to move on to the next project carb seems to be running on the rich side but it may need to be rebuilt 

Wheels
Truck rides on 14 inch stock gm wheels with 70's style bowtie moon cap and has a 1/2 inch white wall tread is in good shape has about 60% on it.

Terms And Conditions
Well folks I have described the truck to the best of my knowledge and if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me I may have missed something. also if you have less than 10 positive feedback or negative you will need to contact me before auction ends or I will delete your bid this truck is for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction early.

It will not be released or signed over to anyone till I have the cash in hand I do have a clean title in hand ready to go will also do a bill of sale with the title if buyer wants one but title alone should do the job its vin also matches the vin on cab. just so you know I am not a scammer. As for the bidding don't bid more than what your willing to spend don't waste my time I don't want to have to relist the truck and I don't want to give anyone negative feedback just because they don't know how to bid. all sales are final and the truck is sold on a as is basis I've described the 1951 to the best of my knowledge what you see is what you get no returns accepted it is a project truck and old so thanks for looking and if you need to ask any questions feel free to also call me at 505 400 5681 good luck and happy bidding.

Next Chevrolet Malibu to have 'groundbreaking,' 'passionate' design

Mon, Dec 29 2014

In our First Drive of the Chevrolet Malibu after its redesign in 2013 we wrote, "Chevy has quickly worked up a host of changes for its ever-important midsize sedan, and will be launching this 'there, we fixed it' 2014 Malibu like it's an all-new product." Still, no one cared. The Malibu has been mentioned in eight posts this year, all but two of them dealt with recalls, and one of those two was about a 2011 Malibu university science project. It came up in precisely zero posts from November 2013 to March 2014. That's why, according to a report in Automotive News, Chevrolet honchos are "hustling" to have a new Malibu ready in a year. Mark Reuss, General Motors' head of global product development, said it will have "groundbreaking design" and "groundbreaking technology," and asked investors who were showed a picture of it, "When is the last time you saw a [midsize] car this distinctive and this dramatic from General Motors?" Doubling down on the bullishness, Reuss said, "We've got our act together here on the midsize-car segment." Then, throwing every last chip on the pile, global design head Ed Welburn said the next Malibu's design will "make a significant statement" with "a very passionate design." Based on the number of comments Malibu posts get, we figure a fair few number of you would love for this to be the case; yet this is a lot of braggadocio to slather on a car that probably hasn't made "a significant statement" since Elton John had a number one record with Honky Chateau. That was 1972, if you're trying to remember. No matter the looks, the AN report says the new 'Bu will make a profit statement, selling for more money while costing less to produce. Alongside the Cruze, GM figures the pair will bring in an extra $800 million in variable profit in 2016. Which, in case it ends up being another 'butterface,' isn't bad for a silver lining.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
