This 1957 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck originally came with a 6 cylinder engine. Years ago the original owner converted it to a V8 using all 1957 Chevrolet factory mounting hardware. Mounting is done by the use of two stud posts at the front of the engine suspended on rubber biscuits for vibration isolation. This is the way the Chevrolet factory mounted the engine on V8 equipped pickups in 1957. Engine is either a 265 or 283 and it turns over, but the bad news is it was stored without sufficient antifreeze and has either pushed out a freeze plug or cracked the block. Water leaks out from behind the exhaust manifold on one side so, it being hidden by the exhaust manifold I cannot see where it is coming from exactly. Good news is this truck has only resided on the west coast it's whole life (we don't salt the roads) and more good news is that it has resided inside a dry storage building since 1995 and therefore it does not have as extensive rusting as you will see in a lot of unrestored 1957 pickups. Sure it has rust in the usual places but take a close look at the attached pictures and you won't see cavernous rotting anywhere. Original factory installed granny gear 4 speed, rearend, and front suspension. Frame is original and unmolested. Radio space in dash has been cut on, but I am supplying an original Chevrolet mid dash section to repair this radio opening. This dash piece I am supplying is NOT a reproduction piece. Original matching 1970's era Aluminum dish mags, manufactured by US Mags come with the truck. Tires hold air but are shot. Aftermarket air cleaner comes with sale as well as a new JEGS wiring harness, that has been started to be installed but not nearly finished. Not an overly expensive harness but at least to the quality of the original wiring. The harness comes with the original JEGS supplied instructions. Hood opens and closes nicely, the hood hinges work flawlessly. Doors don't close as good as they should, would need hinge adjusting / repair to shut as well as they did on the assembly line in 1957. Typical glass damage from years of use, such as windshield wiper scrapes in the windshield, cracked side glass. Window regulator is bad on driver's door. Stock recovered seat inside cab. Rear bumper replaced with chrome step bumper many years ago, as well as a hidden heavy duty trailer hitch installed then as well. It has dual exhaust, looks like someone started to cut on inner fender wells to install headers but stopped cutting early on. To cure this problem I am including a very nice set of ORIGINAL unbent used CHEVROLET INNER FENDER WELLS, they are not reproductions. Usual dings and dents throughout, but nothing beyond the scope of a good body man. I cannot see why fenders and such would need replacing. This vehicle comes with a clear title, it is a regular title NOT a salvage or reconstructed title. VIN plate has never been removed or damaged in any way. VIN numbers on PLATE on door post matches the vin numbers on the frame by the steering box. Overall it would not be difficult to restore this back to original condition or if you choose to go in any other direction this would be a good, solid starting point. Any questions you can call me at 971-998-3530 or email me through eBay.

GM will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales

Tue, Apr 3 2018

DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales, saying the 30-day snapshot does not accurately reflect the market, and will instead issue quarterly sales. GM will also no longer report monthly sales in China, its largest market, and Brazil. GM will provide monthly data to the U.S. Federal Reserve, industry associations and government agencies across the globe, but that data is not made public. Analysts and investors rely on monthly U.S. vehicle sales not just to track the performance of individual automakers, but as a barometer of the health of the world's second-largest auto market and as an indicator of consumer confidence in the U.S. economy overall. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler have relied heavily on sales of high-margin pickup truck and SUV sales to boost profits. GM's total U.S. sales, its second-largest market, are down 3.2 percent for the first two months of 2018, reflecting a 6.8 percent drop in retail sales to individual customers, the company reported last month. GM executives have expressed frustration that comparisons of monthly U.S. sales results among rival automakers are distorted by short-term discount programs, and by differences in strategy for selling vehicles in bulk to rental car fleets. "Thirty days is not enough time to separate real sales trends from short-term fluctuations in a very dynamic, highly competitive market," Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president for sales operations said in a statement. GM's actions could prompt other automakers to also switch to quarterly U.S. sales reports. Major automakers will report March U.S. new vehicle sales on Tuesday. Until the early 1990s, most U.S. automakers released sales results every 10 days. The former Chrysler Corp. stopped reporting sales on a 10-day basis in 1990, and rivals followed suit over the next three years. GM executives are betting that investors will quickly adapt to receiving U.S. sales data every three months, as investors in other retail sectors already have. Retailers such as Walmart report sales on a quarterly basis. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video: Image Credit: Reuters Earnings/Financials Green Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC US

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
