Up for Sale again, because buyer didn't have the money to purchase the car.

 This is a custom Lead Sled that has been featured in several Hot Rod Mags, and Ratrod car shows. To start, it has a 194 straight 6, and the mounts have been modified to drop in a 350 if so desired. She runs and drives great, Just had a ring Job done on the car, so you are guaranteed to be able to hop in and go.

It has a rebuilt two speed powerglide transmission. The Driveshaft and rear-end were modified to open drive, which will make replacement parts more available and the drivability way more reliable. I reconditioned the "Original Interior" because its "original", and in damn fair shape for its age. The only tear are near rear window and can be covered with a serape as I do, the seat cover is on the front so I did not get it dirty while working on it, no tears in it, just usual wear for Original Mohair.

She has been Old School Lowered since 1968 and not for the faint at heart either. The ride height can be adjusted with a jack and spacers or different size springs, takes 15 minutes, the rear end was lowered with blocks and can be also adjusted/changed in less than an hour. This ride is a real cruiser if you are not down for driving a bad ass lowered car, or don’t know how to turn a wrench every once in awhile, then this Sled is not for you. Its Old School Original low, Ratrod cool, and rides exactly how cool old lowered cars were meant to. I swear once you ride in her, you’ll feel Like Cheech is next to you and understand the true meaning of Low rider.

The Windshield and rear glass are in great shape, the side windows on the other hand do have some cracks, and are 65 ech for three, those are the easiest to replace, but I ride with windows down so I left them. Not much going on in the truck just a trunk, but pans are good no rust.

This is a cool old car but it's not your dad's new vette, it's your Grandpa's favorite old toy. This is a great little car to cruise around in or to the bar and does she ever grab the attention, but mostly because this girl is smooth as melted ice-cream and twice as sweet. If anyone has any questions feel free to shoot an email. Thanks and I hope she can bring you as much fun as she has me…

  I do have her for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to pull her if I get an offer I just can’t refuse. I have set a low reserve for this car, so please if you do not have the money do not bid, and no I will not take payments or finance, so don't outbid everyone and then try and blackmail me into a deal, because I will report you and relist it!

Thanks to all of you honest bidders for looking. She is going to highest bid or best offer, which ever comes first.

  • The frame was boxed and modified for new motor mounts, so a 350 or BBC could be dropped in with no hassles
    1. It has been converted to a 12V system
    2. The Drivetrain has been modified to an "open system" which means it now has U-Joints for ease of access
    3. The motor was gone through a few months ago when a ring job was done on it
    4. It has straight exhaust
    5. The rear end was lowered with blocks, so height can be modified with ease
    6. Front Suspension can be changed in minutes using a jack and spacers, spring exchanges etc...
    7. Old School style lowered so height and ride can be changed using a wrench and a jack,
    8. Paint was touched up where needed, to keep the Old School feel, this truly is an Original Lowrider / RatRod like it was in 1960's
    9. The Reason it is for sale again is last bidder only had half the money and tried to guilt me into selling to him cheaper !!!

All I can add to this is you pump the gas once hold half way to floor, turn the key and she will start every time! Can be a daily driver or weekend cruiser !!! 

    I guarantee there are no major issues or rust on this ride !!!!!

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

The Opel GT is the concept General Motors should build for the US

Sat, Feb 27 2016

Now is the time. General Motors should double-down on performance cars and build the Opel GT concept that's set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Better yet, sell it in the United States as the Chevy GT. Consumers are showing a thirst for performance cars not seen in decades. Ford has them coming in waves, with everything from the F-150 Raptor to a hotted-up Fusion. FCA US is unrepentantly building loads of Hellcats. GM should respond. The General's cupboard is hardly bare. With the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac's V-Series, GM has more than enough to compete with its crosstown rivals and anything Europe or Japan can throw at it. But there's also an opportunity. There's not many front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars out there like the Opel GT concept. A Chevy GT that used that layout and captured some of the concept car's proportions and curves would ignite a different kind of passion in enthusiasts. It would be Miata-like. With Chevy branding, this sports car would be the everyday exotic. The concept has a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which makes about 143 horsepower to motivate a structure that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. It can hit 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds. All of those numbers are within the front-engined Miata's territory. This new Opel is inspired by two great mid-1960s concepts that helped put its design studio, and that of its sister brand, the British Vauxhall, on the map. (The GT concept is also technically a Vauxhall, as the brands are linked in GM's European strategy.) One of them, the '66 Vauxhall XVR remained a concept. The '65 Opel Experimental GT was on the road by 1968. That shows this is doable. There's precedent. The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice shared a chassis with a modern GT during that trio's brief run. If GM ever makes this concept, Opel and Vauxhall should get their versions. But Chevy is the one that could make this car a global icon. Chevrolet GT. Make it happen. News & Analysis News: The potential return of the Ford Bronco is generating a ton of attention. Analysis: That's not news, per se. But when the Bronco6G.com fan site did a rendering of a next-generation Bronco, it almost broke the Internet. Everyone from Automotive News to Jalopnik picked up the illustrations. Our own post has drawn a lot of traffic and passionate responses. People are clamoring for the Bronco's return.
