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.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak
Wed, Sep 24 2014General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies
Sat, Jun 27 2015Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
