This is a 1957 chevy 3200 stepside truck I bought from an 85 year old man north of Little Rock. it has 70,785 miles on the body but a more modern 1967 6cyl was put in it. The truck has never been in a northern winter or around salt! The wood in the bed is real good with no rot and the truck only has pin holes on the bottom of the front fenders and no filler I can find anywhere else. There is a dent on the front rt fender and smaller one on the rt rear fender. The tailgate has normal dings and dents in it. The floors and rockers have no rust and are original. This truck needs a paint job as you can see in the pictures but is a really close to rust free solid good driving truck. It shifts out like it is supposed to and the brakes stop good. I just put new good year white lettered tires on it and a new electric fuel pump, new gas sending unit, oil change. The engine has a knock in it when it gets good and warmed up but does not smoke. I do have another motor from my other 57 truck that is I think from 1957 but would have to check the numbers to be sure. I would include that with this auction if wanted. All the gauges seem to work fine and all are clear not cloudy. The vent glass in both doors has bubbles between the inside and outside of the glass. There is no cracked glass but the windshield has clouding around some of it. The chrome is nice on it and all there. The grill and bumpers are real good. This is just an exceptional truck that is even clean not crusty under the body and on the frame. I am listing this unpainted only because some people like to see things not covered up or hidden. I have tried to give an accurate description but it is so very hard on older vehicles so ask any questions you like. I want the buyer to be happy! Delivery is available to some places so ask first please.

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.

Chevy Volt gets customer satisfaction 'recall' for rear hatch issue *UPDATE*

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Last week, General Motors has issued a "Customer Satisfaction program" for some 2011-2015 model year Chevrolet Volts to fix the manual rear lift gate not working as appropriate. According to Volt owner posts on Facebook, the problem manifests itself by the hatch not opening up all the way (sometimes worse in the cold) with some people bumping their heads. Dealers will replace the lift gate struts as part of the program. Some drivers were notified through the vehicle's OnStar system that there is a problem. GM has not yet said how many Volts are affected. *UPDATE* This program is for all 2011-2015 model year Volts. Chevrolet spokesperson Michelle Malcho told AutoblogGreen that, "This is not a recall, so there won't be any formal information posted on the GM website." The fixes will be free to affected Volt owners. Some 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles are also affected by the same problem and will also be fixed.

Chevy Bolt wins 2017 Green Car of the Year

Thu, Nov 17 2016

We knew that a plug-in vehicle was going to win the 2017 Green Car of the Year award this year, given that all five finalists have a way to charge up. And when Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, announced the winner – the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV – he said that the car itself represents one of those times in the auto industry when everything is about to change. Similar to the invention of the starter motor, things are about to get different. For now, though, the fact that the Bolt EV won an award sounds like the same old thing all over again. Just this week, it was named Motor Trends Car of the Year and to the Car And Driver Top 10 list. The other four finalists for Green Car of the Year included the Toyota Prius Prime, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia Optima (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models) and the BMW 330e iPerformance. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt. Did Green Car Journal make the right selection this year? See the award ceremony below.
