Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: auto
Model: Other Pickups
Mileage: 0
Trim: 2 door roadster pick up
This my 1923 Studebaker roadster pick up that could be concidered a rat rod or traditional hot rod. The frame is a custom 2x4 square tube steel frame with a 14" Z in the rear with a suicide front end. The rear end is out of a 1970 Chevelle and is a 12 bolt posi with 373 gears and disc brakes, the suspension is coil springs with Curtis rods and pan hard bar. The front axle is a Supper bell 4" drop with mono leaf spring ford spindles and disc brakes with a Chevy car bolt pattern. The cab is a 1923 Studebaker that has had the back of it smoothed out to have the bed fit up close to it and showed its age of 90 years dings and pitting and it gives it character and I didn't want to take that away so I left them there during the paint prep portion of the project. The bed is a 1953 dodge that has been shortened by 20" and the tail gate welded shut. The bed has a couple dings here and there and a bullet hole that I left as it seemed appropriate since it is painted like the Red Baron! The bed has redwood floor with a trunk with a locking lid so there is a good amount of cargo space. The grill shell is a 1930 ford that has been trimmed to fit the new aluminum radiator. The engine is a pretty fresh SBC 350 with a th350 trans that run great, has 70 psi oil pressure and shifts smooth. Has a new starter, fuel pump, chrom alternator, and new carburetor. The headers are zoomies that I mounted up side down to give it a cool custom look. The body and bed where primed and then painted with Imron 333 industrial satin red and the doors are satin white and the iron crosses are painted on not a decal. The wind sheeld is lexan 3/16" thick, has a bench seat out of a jeep I believe but not sure. Has a B&M shifter, the wheels are Chevy rallies with salt flat hub caps. The gas tank is made from an old Coors keg and holds 15.5 gal. Electrical is pretty simple as it has brake lights running lights and ignition and start that's it....didn't have turn signals in 1923 so I just use hand signals. It is registered as a 1923 Studebaker and has a clear title. I'm sure I may be forgetting something so if you have questions please ask or call me at 707 888 2745 before you bid and remember that this is a rat rod not fancy show car.....I have a low reserve on the truck and the winning bidder needs to have a bank wire transfer 1000.00 deposit within 48 hrs of auction end and final payment in cash in person or wire transfer to the bank within 5 days of close of auction. Shipping is responsibility of the winning bidder but I can assist in getting the vehicle loaded with your shipper...and once again call if you have any questions or need to see other pictures before you bid...thank you Branden

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years
Wed, Jun 25 2014A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models
Fri, Mar 28 2014General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
