Up for sale is my newly restored 1957 Chevrolet 150 sedan. This is the model that the Black Widow Nascar racers were made from. I've gone from a rolling body and installed a LT-1 Chevrolet Corvette motor out of a 1969 Corvette that is fully built and has a mild cam...rated at 360HP stock, but it's not stock. I've mated it to a Muncie M-20 4 speed that is stroked with a Hurst Competition plus shifter, going to a new 3.55 geared rearend. This car is a ground up, body on frame restoration. I wanted a full restoration for a driver, not a trailer queen. Here's a quick list of what has been done to the car:
-It's got power disc brakes up front, new drum brakes in the back with new brake lines.
-poor man's power steering that turns effortlessly
-air conditioning that is ice cold. 
-New interior stitched here locally in Republic, new carpet, headliner, and door panels.
-car has been insulated with DynaMat type material in doors, trunk, up the firewall, in the package tray and it's tight and quiet...
-New glass all around. Original stainless in good shape. 
-All chrome replaced...
-tubular a-arms, front/rear roll bars, all new suspension, undercoated front to back
-Ididit tilt steering column
-New Aluminum radiator
-New paint that's about a year old in India Ivory and Tropical Turquoise
-New gas tank aluminum and gas lines.'
-brand new Firestone white letter tires mounted on American mags Torque Thrust 15x8s
-Electric fuel pump to feed the Edelbrock 600 electric choke carb on a Weiand intake
-new Billet dash, radio am-fm...heater delete. Original clock that works, 1959 Impala steering wheel in new chrome and paint, Dakota Digital dash...wow, too much too list...email me for more details
-that's a quick rundown, but this car has been gone through from front to back including the trunk. These cars are getting very rare. You don't see many 150s in this kind of condition. Bid to own.

This car has been totally taken apart except from off the frame. New everything. Floors with new metal welded in and the same with the trunk. Car is solid and no rust in the body. Any imperfections were eliminated and new metal replaced any bad areas. Car is a two thumbs up everywhere it cruises to.


adding two new videos. The first shows the car on the first start up out of the garage. Since then have changed the wheels as shown in the uploaded pics. (don't worry, the shirt is stained, but clean...product of working on these cars...LOL) Second shows taking the grandkids for a spin around the block..enjoy..

Nissan Leaf sells 3,186 in best month ever as Chevy moves 2,511 Volts

Wed, Sep 3 2014

The end of summer seems to inspire people to go out and buy a lot of plug-in vehicles. Last year, for example, the Chevy Volt had its best month ever in August, with 3,351 sales. This year, the Nissan Leaf is going up to the winner's podium, setting its own best-ever record with 3,186 units sold. This beats the Leaf's previous record by 69 vehicles. This beats the Leaf's previous record of 3,117 set in May 2014 by 69 vehicles and is up 31.7 percent from August 2013. Nissan is once again quick to remind us that the popular EV's record sales streak has now been extended to 18 months in a row. This record is simply noting that the current month, in this case August, had the highest sales that that month has ever seen in the US. Over all, US Leaf sales are up 34.1 percent so far this year. In a prepared statement, Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said that the Leaf is selling well on both coasts, including cities like Raleigh, Boston and Washington, DC. "It's what we call the 'cul-de-sac phenomenon,' where once someone in a community buys a Leaf, then friends, family, co-workers and neighbors see the benefits of this fun-to-drive electric vehicle firsthand and are sold on the idea of going electric," he said. The Volt also had a good month - its best of 2014 by almost 500 sales – but the 2,511 Volt sales still represent a drop of 25.1 percent from the excellent sales the Volt had this time last year. In fact, August 2014 represents the Volt's best sales month since, well, August 2013. Apparently, there's just something about the end of summer. As always, we are working on our in-depth round-up of green car sales across the country and will have that up soon.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.
