Family Emergency forces sale of all of my projects. This is a custom built 1955 chevrolet first generation pickup. The truck has many many options. It sits on a 83 s-10 frame with disc brakes front, drum rear. Frame was blasted and painted black. EVERYTHING on this truck is new except for the basic truck, and even that has alot of new. Starting with the cab, the inner and outer cab corners were replaced, along with both cowls and the lower pillars, all new. Doors were in good shape, but have new seals, along with new smoke glass, handles and locks. Dash gauges are new also. The engine is a 1984 small block chevy removed from a pickup that had only 43,000 miles and has been completely resealed and added a chrome oil pan, chrome overflow recovery tank,valve coveres, chrome hi amp alternator, billet pulleys, hei clear billet distributor, and chrome fuel pump. Also in the engine bay is a custom fitted aluminum racing radiator and an s-blade electric fan. The grill is a used custom fitted 1951 grill. There is also a new gas tank. The bed, even though these trucks came originally with pine beds, has a custom made spruce bed with new metal strips. I have a new front bumper, windshield and smoke rear glass that has yet to be installed. Tires are all new with used keystone classic wheels. New windshield wiper assembly / transmission arms. The wiring harnes is new but not installed yet. The only items off the top of my head remaining to be purchased is a starter, ignition wires, battery, a couple of battery cables, oil and antifreeze, exhaust, and fuel lines and some gas. This truck is almost finished, but family emergency makes it so I cant finish, but almost everything is there including the updated wiring harness with instructions, gray bench seat, front clear glass, rear smoke glass. Not included is a heater, or ac, (since the truck was mainly to drive during good weather only) glove box door, starter, and battery. The truck was painted with eastwoods rat rod satin black, and some small dents / dings were intentionally left in to give the truck a rat rod effect. New digital tail lights, peep mirrors, headlights and buckets, eyebrows, front turn signals, all interior door handles, arm rests / door pulls, headliner, and visors. I have well over 15K invested in this truck not to mention the time so far and hate to see it go, especially before I got to drive it.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
