1956 Chevy Big Window Long-bed Stepside, Runs And Drives on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
Up for sale is a 56 Chevy 3200 series 1/2 ton long-bed step-side with the big rear window. Don’t see many of these around at least I haven’t. The truck is about 99 percent original showing 55K miles, but cannot confirm if true or not. Has the 235 6-cyl with a granny 4-speed, radio delete with an aftermarket heater. The truck does run and drive, but could us a good tune-up, carb adjustment, intake exhaust gasket (donut type) and a brake adjustment. Truck starts up right away and idles on it’s own. Emergency brake still works. I drove the truck off a flat-bed tow rig , down the street and parked in drive-way. Has a strong clutch and trans with all gears shifting smoothly. Brakes do work but again, could use some attention. All the lights and gauges work, has the original 15” steel rims, 6-lug with original hubcaps and original wood bed still in ok condition. Front and rear windows are fine except a small BB size hole in the front windshield. Front floor is solid with no rust or rot. Cab corners are also very solid. Passenger door shows some rust/rot at the bottom. Drivers door needs an adjustment and will not close and window is cracked. The latch does in gage with the door handle and Probably a simple fix but I’m not a body-man. The truck needs body-work/paint and is very restorable. Front seat is in excellent shape and is either original, or was re-upholstered years ago. Truck still retains the original black and yellow plates, has a clear title and is on a non-op with no back fees. Original steering wheel in nice shape with no cracks. The holes you see in both doors have been plugged with silicone where large mirrors were placed and removed. I have the smaller chrome type, along with new taillight lenses. Spare tire carrier is under the rear of bed, bumper jack and another door panel under the front seat as well. Ignition keys seem to also be original. The original color was the ocean green. Truck was painted a tan many years ago and then white. This truck was a mess when I got it showing all these colors. I basically sanded the entire truck down, looking for existing body damage. I then primered in flat white. History of vehicle: Was used for years by a church nestled in the hills as a security vehicle and then retired to a warehouse where is was stored for at least 20 years, along with another pick-up. Previous owner I purchased the vehicle from, basically used the truck on his 20+ acres for hauling and other needs for the past 12-14 years. The vehicle was left out in the elements. I have placed a reasonable reserve based on overall condition of vehicle. If you have any questions, please e-mail or call me direct at (408) 448-1717. Buyer is responsible for their own shipping, towing etc: I accept Paypal for a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 and must be received within 24 hrs at the close of auction. Balance can be made with cash in person, cashier’s check and/or a money order. Vehicle is for sale locally and will end auction if sold. Thanks for viewing. |

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too
Wed, Jul 23 2014The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.
The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years
Wed, Jan 28 2015If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
