1957 Chevrolet 3100 shortbed big window
Built in Oakland Ca. and looks like it has always stayed in Ca.

New paint looks real nice but to be a show truck would still need a little more body work and it has a small bubble about the size of a silver dollar down low on the right front fender.  Other than that the body is very nice, not perfect, but has zero rust aside from the bubble on the fender.  Beautifully cleaned frame and undercarriage, super solid everywhere.

Glass is nice, interior is nice, uncut dash with no holes.  Seat was redone , original bedwood was restored with multiple times sanding and adding clear laquer , looks amazing!!
Really strong rebuilt 235 with fresh rebuilt dual rochester carbs, stainless lines, Fenton intake, NOS early corvette header, new exhaust, new power steering setup, redone original brass radiator, pro rebuilt aluminum new process 4 speed manual overdrive trans with new Hurst shifter and linkage, pro rebuilt 57 pass. car rear with 3:36 gearing, rebuilt driveshaft, new yoke, all new brakes and lines. 

New 3" dropped axle, new 3" dropped leaf springs front and rear.  New shocks designed for this truck with dropped suspension.  Newer chrome Daisy's with new BF goodrich tires. All 5 lug. New battery in dropout box underneath.  Engine compartment very nicely detailed as you can see .  Floor looks really really nice as do cab mounts.  Lights and gauges work as they should.   Heater works. Runs super cool, I drive it all over, does 70 plus on the freeway with 1 finger on the wheel not even sweating it!  Goes straight, stops well.  Looks great the way it is, drives great.  Clear title and currently registered on minty 56 Ca. yom plates.  You are more than welcome to come see it in person and go ride for a ride.  This is like getting that hotrod truck you always wanted but without that gas guzzling V8, this bad boy will get 15-20mpg!

NOTE:  "BUY IT NOW" purchase will include free shipping to anywhere in the continental USA or 50% of cost to anywhere in the world!

Thank you,

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk

Thu, Jul 9 2015

An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software.

The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.
