1947 Chevrolet Wrecker truck in running driving condition. It is in very solid condition with very little rust. The paint is weak but still on most of the cab. This truck has a later model 235 six cylinder engine with a Rodgers rebuild tag on it and it runs very well with no apparent smoke and good oil pressure. It has a 4 speed transmission with sub low that works well. It has been converted to 12 volt system and all lights work. It has a 2 speed vacuum shift rear and the wrecker boom and wench work off of the PTO. The wench picks up by the PTO but lets down manually. The Boom seems to be a early Holmes unit in functioning condition. It does have outriggers. The wood on the bed is bad and does need replacing. The cab and doors are very solid! Much better than most VA trucks of this age. This truck was originally purchased by one of the local Chevy dealers that went out of business many years ago. The tires on the back are worn and the front tires have good tread and they are all holding air well but have some dry rotting. This truck would be a great collectors item! You decide. No warranty expressed or implied. shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I am listing this truck for a friend and he can answer whatever questions you may have. His name is Harry and he can be reached at 434-349-2225. He does have a small reserve on the truck and do require a 500.00 payment at the end of the auction. Serious bidders only!

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
