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.

Key Words: Chevy, Old School, Lead Sled, Rat Rod, Kustom, Custom, Lowered, Bel Air


  • 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 !!!!!

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
