Beautiful, rust-free (other than a tiny spot on drivers floorboard - see pics), stock, original, complete 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5 window, half-ton, short-bed pickup truck from the desert Southwest. This barn/garage find sat in a dry, climate controlled garage for almost 20 years waiting for a restoration that never happened. It ran well up to that point but hasn't been started since. The engine turns over and the oil is still pretty clean even after all these years.

According to the VIN of 9JP D 8727, this truck...

9 ...was built in Norwood, OH

J ...in 1951

P ...is a 3100 half-ton short-bed

D ...was built in April

8727 ... and was the 8727th truck built that year

The sheet metal (especially the cab) on this truck is amazing. There have never been any rust repairs ever, anywhere; what you see is what you get. Cab corners are excellent. Primer partially covers what looks like an ancient green respray over the original green. And the original green looks very similar to Forest Service green (see firewall pic). Doors, fenders, hood, grill and bed are great other than the passenger side right front fender. It's got a few dents but is very repairable. Just to be safe, I am including an extra fender (see pics). Also, the grill was replaced with one that is in better condition but the original is included (see pics). Most glass is out but is in good shape (particularly the hard to find curved glass - see pics). The bed has a piece missing in the front (see pics) but it is readily available in the aftermarket. In my opinion, the purity of the sheet metal (and the fact that it's a 5 window) is a MAJOR plus for anyone contemplating a restoration candidate.

The interior is in great shape as well. Seat has been reupholstered to a high standard (see pics). Dash is uncut and unbutchered. Gauges, buttons, knobs and levers are either in place or come with the truck. Kick panels (a notorious rust area) are rock solid (see pics). Again, the only rust spot (and it's very minor) is a small area on the drivers floorboard. The cab corners from the inside view also look excellent. And window frames, heater, glass, wiring harness, etc. are all included with the truck (see pics).

Running gear is solid and complete. The firewall still has original markings from the assembly line supervisor (see pics). Engine is the 216.5CID Stovebolt inline 6 and it spins freely. It ran well until it was placed in storage and hasn't been started since. At some point, electrical was converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. Generator is a vintage AC Delco unit. Transmission is the 4 speed manual. Clutch works well and it shifts in and out of gear properly. A newer 6 lug (stock bolt pattern) Dana 44 rear differential was installed to improve drivability. The installation involved no welding and is very sanitary. If you are contemplating a restomod project it should probably stay in place. I am including a stock rear differential including torque tube and driveshaft (if you want it) at no extra charge. This truck also comes with chrome rims that have baby moon hubcaps. They look awesome but detract from originality. I am including 4 vintage six lug rims (if you want them) that would make it look more stock (see pics).

This is what I consider to be a Holy Grail truck. That means 5 window, short-bed, half-ton, rust-free, complete and original. It represents an exceptional basis for any kind of upgrade. The quality of what you begin with has a direct correlation with the quality of what you finish with. I hope it ends up in the hands of someone who gives it the stewardship it deserves. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer any and all questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have about 150 pictures so you can look at every nook and cranny. Please send me a non-Ebay email address and I will send them to you. It is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, UT (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Thank you very much for your interest.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.

Thu, Jan 21 2016

From the Washington Auto Show today, Green Car Journal's Ron Cogan announced three different fuel-efficient vehicle awards. They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the YearÂ™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the YearÂ™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.
