If you have been waiting for that perfect 1950's half ton Chevy truck project here it is. Up for auction is a very rare 1955 Chevrolet 3100 half ton Pickup Truck (Second Series). This truck has the rare Factory V8 Option & BIG BACK WINDOW deluxe cab options. The "V" emblems on the fenders denote this as a factory v8 truck. That and the fact the vin number shows it on the truck as well. It was built at Chevrolet's Oakland, California assembly plant and has been a West Coast only truck it's whole life. We do not salt the roads in the winters on the West Coast so our vehicles are always less rusty than antique cars from other parts of the USA that do salt the roads. This is the body style known as the 'Task Force" series. This particular truck has the short Stepside bed. This deluxe cab also came from the factory with the optional green tinted window glass. But the only glass still in great condition (fortunately) is the big back window and it is flawless. This truck has all the polished factory stainless window trim and stainless cab trim you see in the pictures. Rust in the usual places for an unrestored 49 year old vehicle. Cab corners are rusted, rust in bottom of doors, several small holes in floor, etc. Patch panels are available here on eBay and elsewhere to correct these items. The factory 265 v8 and manual transmission are missing in action but I have installed a used 1960's era 327 two barrel engine to replace the stock engine with. There is no carb on the engine. For now the engine is mounted at the front using the stock Chevrolet factory installed v8 mounts that this truck came with. There is no transmission or transmission mount currently in the vehicle. That is why the engine is tilted in the engine compartment. It is perfectly safe for towing or transport as it is currently mounted. Bone stock radiator in very nice condition. The inner fender panels are in perfect undamaged condition and they have never been chopped up or modified for headers. The stock six lug rearend has been swapped for a 1970 Camaro 10 bolt rearend with 5 lugs. The stock six lug front brake drums were replaced with regular 5 lug Chevrolet car drums. The stock front axle is still in place. ***PLEASE NOTE: The mag on the left rear of truck was used to move truck around. It is not included in this sale, you will receive a black steel wheel for transport just like the other three wheels on the truck in the pictures. But please look to see that the mag is a 15" x 8" mag wheel and look how nice that size mag and tire fits within the fender with the use of the stock Camaro width rearend . **** The stock seat is there but will need recovered. The right (passenger) front fender has a dent and is not worth fixing but I am including with this auction a dent free 1957 pickup passenger fender to replace it with. The fender emblems sit higher on a 1957, those holes would just be welded in and new holes drilled for the 1955 fender emblem and v8 emblem. There are, of course, numerous smaller dents throughout on truck because, as mentioned before, this is an unrestored vehicle. Stock gauges. The radio slot was modified for an 8 track player back in the day. Stock steering wheel, horn button and steering column. This vehicle steers so it can be loaded but it currently has NO operational brakes. This truck needs TOTAL RESTORATION before it will be roadworthy. I have loaded 24 pictures (the maximum number of pictures allowed by eBay) so that you can honestly and fairly evaluate the condition of what is being auctioned here. What you see is what you get. Vin plate is undamaged, unmolested and still attached in stock pillar location. This truck comes with a CLEAR Washington state title. It is NOT a salvage or reconstructed title. If you have any questions feel free to email me at any time before the auction ends. $500 non-refundable deposit required within 48 hours of auction's close. Balance must be paid within 7 days of auction's close . I can store for 30 days after the end of auction for free. Shipping details and payment for shipping must be worked out by the winning bidder but we will assist with loading of the vehicle. Thank you and good luck on the auction. ****PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS (brand new in factory sealed boxes, receipts still attached to the boxes) PERFORMANCE ONLINE WAREHOUSE 12 inch (oversize) heavy duty front disc brake conversion kit that includes 5 lug vented and cross drilled brake disc, calipers, pads, mounting brackets, new wheel bearings / races and stainless braided brake lines for mounting to stock 1955-1959 Chevrolet pickup truck front axle. I also have (new in the unopened factory sealed box) a complete PERFORMANCE ONLINE WAREHOUSE one inch diameter front sway bar kit specifically made for this year and model truck for mounting to the stock front axle of a 1955-1959 Chevrolet pickup truck for better handling in corners and a pair of PERFORMANCE ONLINE WAREHOUSE front gas BILSTEIN shocks (still in factory sealed boxes with receipt attached). THESE ITEMS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE WINNING PRICE OF THIS RESERVE AUCTION BUT I WILL SELL (at extra cost) TO THE WINNING BIDDER AT 25% OFF THE PRICE I PAID FOR THESE ITEMS. Otherwise I will sell the parts at another time on eBay in their own separate auctions. Winning bidder does NOT have to buy these items to complete this vehicle sale, it is merely an option being offered to the winning buyer . ***

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

The 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.
