1954 Chevy 150 Sedan

Driveline: 70's 2 bolt 350, bored 0.040, flat top pistons, World cast iron S/R heads, Moroso performance distributor, QuickFuel HR 680 CFM carb, Summit dual plane intake, Howards hydraulic roller cam (225/231, 278/284, .500"/.510", 110+4 L/C), Holley 80gph fuel pump, TH350 trans rebuilt January 2010, steep rear end so it doesn't turn too high of RPMS going down the highway. Engine was rebuilt July of 2012.  Very good oil pressure.

Chassis: TCI Mustang II IFS, powder coated A-arms and springs, non-power rack and pinion steering, 2" drop spindles up front, drop leafs in the rear, disc/drum power brakes, front sway bar, 15x7 wheels all around with American Classics wide whites (205/75/R15 radials), aluminum radiator keeps it running cool.

Interior: Custom black/grey, bucket seats from a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon, Custom Auto Sound AM/FM radio w/ 4 Kenwood 300w speakers and USB connection, VDO electronic gauge set (speedo, oil, temp, volt, fuel), IDIDIT stainless column, Lokar shifter, EZ wiring kit, Gemini remote door poppers, new window felts/gaskets and glass that is smoked (except for windshield), electric wipers, heat/defrost works. Interior was completed winter of 2012.

Body: shaved trim and door handles, one piece hood, blue pinstripe is hand painted, 4 extra grill teeth, power frenched antenna, smoothed firewall. The car was repainted Fall/Winter of 2010.  Chrome is presentable but not perfect.

It's loud, it rides a little rough, and requires you to actually drive it -- I think that's the definition of a hot rod. It gets driven so don't expect perfection but this one is a good cruiser (been to Michigan and Minnesota in the last year).  Items that are minor annoyances that I would fix over the winter if I were to keep the car: there is a oil seep from the oil pan gasket, the steering wheel isn't perfectly centered driving down the road (car is aligned - the steering column isn't however), and I don't like how the brake lines are ran under the car - I'd clean them up, I'm just fussy.


Listing details:  It is the buyers responsibility to manage every aspect of shipping (costs, setting up, etc).  I will not sell outside of the continental US.  I am not interested in any sort of trading.  Please contact me for any additional questions as my perspective on what's "good" and "bad" probably isn't the same as yours.  I'd be happy to chat or email to answer any questions.  I have a boat load of receipts and another boat load worth of pictures to show as well.  $500 down payment required within 48 hours of auction close.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

Chevy: The Big Game

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Chevrolet took an early lead for the 2015 Super Bowl advertising crown with its spot for the all-new, 4G LTE-capable Colorado pickup in a spot that simulated a problem with your TV. The stark, simple ad then states that if you're lucky enough to have an Internet-capable vehicle, like the new Colorado, you'd at least be able to stream the game. A clever, chuckle-inducing spot if there was one. Check out our full write up of the new, 2015 Colorado. Marketing/Advertising Chevrolet Truck Super Bowl Commercials Videos 2015 super bowl ad

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles

Mon, Oct 19 2015

An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
