Draper, Utah, United States

1953 Chevrolet 3100 Street Rod runs and drives excellent, very quick. 

The body is mostly stock with a few mods, shaved handles and bear jaw latches installed for safety and looks.  New glass all the way around and, custom headliner and seat installed.  Custom leather wrapped steering wheel Stewart Warner and Mallory gauges installed.  All of the trim has been chromed for that cool old street rod look.   Custom door handles inside and door panels very simple but looks great.  Polished Stainless steel firewall looks really sharp sets off the engine.  The rear sheet metal and wood is a new kit from Mar K with new steel rear fenders as well.  The wood is Oak with a dark Walnut stain and polished stainless steel strips looks excellent when shines off the bedsides.  The roll pan under the tailgate is custom with louvers and LED 53 Pontiac taillights.  Also the custom stainless steel fuel tank had been relocated under the bed for safety.  The filler neck has been left in the original location and blocked for old-school looks.  The grille is a reproduction chrome unit that really pops and also has custom LED park/turn signals.   I also have a hood available that has a peak added but is not finished that goes with the truck, but I feel the truck looks pretty mean without it.

                The engine is a 1965 Corvette block numbers FOII4HH, 3782870 with 2.02 double hump heads.  There have been many modifications to the engine balanced high compression pistons, roller rockers all the old school go fast goodies.  Weiand tunnel ram intake with two 650 CFM Carter AFB’s.  Sounds very good at the local cruise nights with the header plugs open.  The transmission is a TCI prepped TH350 with a manual automatic valve body and 3000 stall TCI torque converter.  Also there is a B&M star shifter with slapper setting.  The rear end is a GM 10 bolt that has been rebuilt with new bearings, new auburn limited slip carrier and new 3:73 Richmond gears.  In total the truck only has 79 miles on it since it has been put together.

The truck handles and stops great with the 67’ Camaro sub-frame with discs up front and drums in the rear.  The front end has had all of the bushings and ball-joints replaced and new coils have been installed as well.  This truck is a great driver with plenty of power to get you into trouble and upset the neighbors if you want to.   This truck just needs some TLC and little finishing touches just selling it because other projects have taken priority.

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault Zoe recall, Proterra buses log 2M miles

Fri, Mar 25 2016

Renault is recalling 10,649 examples of its Zoe electric car for potential brake hose failure. Cars built at the company's Flins factory between the Zoe's 2012 introduction and October 6, 2014 - a quarter of all Zoes ever built - are subject to the recall, though no accidents have been reported from rupturing brake lines. Recalled vehicles will have the brake hose positions inspected and, if need be, fixed. Read more from Reuters. Proposed legislation in Massachusetts would make the state even more EV friendly. While the state already encourages EV adoption with a $2,500 rebate incentive, the new bill would give battery electric vehicle drivers HOV lane access. Additionally it would set up a standard building code for EV chargers, and allow EV-only parking spaces. "With decreased gas prices, a 10 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled over the last 20 years, and a carpool rate below the national average, we must address personal vehicle use directly as part of our transportation emissions reduction strategy," says Rep. Frank Smizik. Read more from Teslarati. The New York Daily News has named the 2016 Chevrolet Volt as its "Green Machine of the Year." Seamless operation, peppiness, and a nice suite of equipment make it a top choice for the publication. "The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is all new, inside and out, and takes the plug-in hybrid segment to another level, thanks to its increased EV range, updated cabin, and more efficient gas-powered engine," writes Daily News Autos writer (and all-around good guy) Nick Kurczewski. Honorable mentions go to the Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Toyota Prius, and the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. Read more from the Daily News, or at Clean Technica. Proterra electric buses have accumulated 2 million miles of revenue service. That equals 3,800 tons of carbon emissions that have been prevented and 420,000 gallons of fuel unburned. Proterra says it has 63 buses in service in 15 cities, and that it is ramping up production to meet growing demand. "This latest milestone exemplifies the economic, environmental and civic value of electric mass transit," says Proterra CEO Ryan Popple, "and demonstrates to the transit agencies that diesel - often viewed as a necessary evil - is no longer necessary."

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race

Thu, Sep 8 2016

The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
