 1957 GMC PANEL WAGON

Saved this from a scrap yard here in Mississippi. Appears to have been in Mississippi for quite a long time as the license plate lists a local county but no longer has any paint on it. I am not extremely well educated on these models, but it appears to be a 99% original GMC panel wagon. Straight 6 and a manual 4 speed. Engine was switched from generator to alternator. Since the panel wagon came from the factory with solid sides, I believe the windows were added later in it's life. However, the work was very well done. Windows slide down to open and move freely. Body is extremely straight and solid considering the year and circumstances (found in a scrap yard) with the obvious exception of the driver side door. Appears to be original paint...possibly Coronado Yellow. Areas of rust through are shown in pics along with drivers side step-up is completely gone (pic shown from below). Wood and slide rails in rear appear to be original and in solid condition. Front floor pans have been repaired - again pretty good work. Frame is original, unmolested and in great condition. Only non-original parts appear to be alternator, rear windows, floor pan patch and bench seat. Tires hold air...this is a free rolling truck.

Motor and trans are both locked up solid. No brakes.

Since I got it from a scrap yard, obviously no paperwork...sold with Bill of Sale. If you need one, I can get an expedited title (10-12 business days) for $100 extra. Just notify me if this is the case.

I am glad to answer any questions to the best of my ability. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of end of auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early as truck is for sale locally as well. If you want to work out a deal, I can be reached on my cell phone - 205-789-7528.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
