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 isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases
Wed, Nov 20 2019NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season
Wed, Jul 30 2014Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward'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.
