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.

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. Â– Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip Â– let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives Â– you can use more of the car more of the time.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
