This 1931 Chevy pickup named "THE RUSTY SHERIFF" is chopped a total of 8 inches. It's themed after an old rusty sheriffs truck with a sheriff's badge from 1931 welded right to the front from the western series Hopalong Cassidy. It's built on a 2x3 Square Tube chassis, 13" Z'ed in rear and 7" up front. Front end is a 4" drop tube axle, Chevy spindles, with late 70(caprice, impala) rotors calipers and pads. It has a transverse spring up front for a total of 5" of drop. Steering is traditional style with a 1950 Dodge truck gear box. Motor is a fresh build, bored 30 over with a GM 1182 forged crank X rods and Speedpro forged flat top pistons. Comp Cam 272, 471 lift-very streetable. It has a Wieand high-rise intake with a Eldebrock 650 carb, Accell billet distributor. TH350 Tranny with a shift kit, alto clutches and corvette servo with a 1900 to 2500 stall converter. Rear end is from a 70 El Camino with 308 gears. Truck has a basic alarm with shock sensor for those car shows out of town and your ride has to sit outside in that shady hotel parking lot. Clean title as a 1976 Chevy Vega from the Doner car, where it all began. Black carpet floor, with gorilla style furr over tranny tunnel and on the roof. Seating is a black metal flake custom made bench style seat. Painted black dash with speedometer (cable not installed) below dash are the gauges for the oil pressure/Temp/voltage.... Ignition toggle mounted on dash along with a switch that controls high and low beams, and another switch that controls Taillights and dash lights. Small horn button controls Ahhooga horn mounted under the bed of the truck. Gas tank is a vintage FireStone keg that hold 15.5 gallons. Truck weighs just under 2k pounds with me in it. It doesnt take much for this thing to get after it. Awesome gas mileage too. Bed of the truck has a solid built metal frame structure with a wooden board over that and on top of that are fence pickets cut to size then treated to look like a vintage wooden bed. Gold metal flake steering wheel (detachable for security) and matching gold flaked shift knob. The tallest part of the truck stands 48 inches, Its mean,low,loud and fast. Comfort is sacrificed for style. I have driven this truck hundreds of miles to and from shows with out an issue every time. I trust this truck to drive anywhere. Im 6'0 tall and 215lbs and fit in here just fine. Sit in it like a Go-Kart, drive with both feet and hold on, cause this one books it down the highway. Low maintenance on a truck like this with everything out in the open, fluid changes are a breeze. 15 inch steel wheels wrapped in Coker bias ply wide whites. I went with bias ply tires because i like the nostalgic look of them. but if you have never driven a car with bias plys, it takes some getting use to. (they follow any pattern in the road) Truck has been on the Cover and Featured in the #64 July issue of OL' SKOOL RODZ still on the shelves in some stores. Was used on the tv series HGTV'd to lead the cast to the set of the show in the intro. Was also used in multiple Discover channel Outlaw Garage episodes with Jesse James when he was with Austin Speed Shop. Small write up in RAT ROD MAGAZINE and other local mags. Used in LUCKY 13 BRAND photo shoot, the list goes on. Multiple show winner and complete attention getter.
Please ask any other questions you may have. I love this truck, and a lot of love when into it, its simple yet extreme and feel its tastefully done, built right, and not built with crap from the kitchen and front yard, like so many others out there built to look like trash. Happy bidding. MOST CURRENT PHOTOS HAVE VENT HOLES IN VISOR WITH GOLD STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, JUST MESSAGE ME WITH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE!

Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application
Fri, Dec 26 2014In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.

Chevy Volt has worst sales month since August 2011, Nissan Leaf also down
Tue, Feb 3 2015January is traditionally a time when new car shoppers take a break. For the last few years, if we isolate our focus to just the first two major plug-in cars in the US market, we see that the first month of the year was lower – often dramatically lower – than the 11 that followed. So, when you see the Chevy Volt dropped and Nissan Leaf sales figures for January 2015, don't be too surprised. The Volt sold only 542 units last month, that model's lowest since August 2011. That also represents a 41 percent drop from January 2014, and it reinforces the thought that if anyone out there is interested in a new Volt, they're going to be waiting for the new model to drop later this year. While we do expect sales to climb in February and into spring, we won't be surprised if the general Volt trend remains quiet until the second-generation arrives. On the Leaf side of the ledger, January's low sales numbers were still about twice as high as the Volt's – the Leaf sold 1,070 units last month, the lowest since February 2013 – but it did break a streak for the Japanese automaker. Usually, each month represents at least an increase over the same month a year ago, but that wasn't the case this time. In January 2014, Nissan sold 1,252 Leafs. Still, Brendan Jones, Nissan's director of electric vehicle sales and infrastructure, issued an upbeat statement: "We saw a significant increase in demand in December from Nissan Leaf customers looking to take advantage of federal and state incentives at the end of the tax year, which pulled some sales ahead. We're confident that EV sales will continue to rise over time due to increasing emission regulations and other reasons for purchase of EVs such as lower operating costs, reducing dependence on foreign energy sources, environmental concerns and a great driving experience." The numbers will tell us soon enough. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales brendan jones
