1955 Chevrolet Pickup 1st Series Barn Find Rat Rod. on 2040-cars
Holden, Missouri, United States
1955 Chevrolet 1st series pickup truck. Solid Kansas truck. Original 235, 3spd that runs great. All gages work, new brake master cylinder, rebuilt brakes, rubber brake hoses, radiator hoses, belt, seat cover, door panels, headliner, door seals, glove box, transmission cable, fuel tank sending unit, filter and line. Also has an NOS set of Lee brand 15" front tires. Rears are 275 60 15s that are old. This truck runs, drives, and brakes great. Should pass inspection easily. Still on 6 volt system. Underhood is nearly all original. Comes with right side repair panel, dogleg and mount. Factory options are deluxe heater and foot operated windshield washer. Bottle assembly is missing. I also have another pair of correct 15" rims for the rear, but no tires on them.
Rust: Rust is pretty much in the kick panel areas, a spot in the drivers side running board, and, of course the rust patina. Glass, overall, is good, passenger side door glass is new, front does have 2 small bulls eyes in it. History: The truck was bought in the Wichita, KS area. Right door says faintly, John P. Gaty, Wichita, KS, 3000 lbs. I believe its the same John P Gaty who was an engineer, and head salesman for Beachcraft Air in Wichita, and an amateur photographer. The timeline, name, etc, all match up to what I think was his truck. I have paperwork to send in to KS DMV, but have yet to send it in. I was able to talk to the gentleman who owned since the mid-70s and it appears the truck has spent almost all its life in Wichita/Emporia, KS area. This truck would be great to restore back to original. The red paint, history, and solid condition makes it worthy of a full authentic restoration. Sold as is, where is. Title is clear. Any questions, please call, 816-726-4512. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Truck is for sale locally as well. Payment/pickup/storage: I expect a $500 non-refundable deposit within 3 days of end of auction. Balance to be paid in full with cash, certified or cleared MO or check, wire transfer, or paypal. Truck, title, does not leave my possession until all monies are paid. Pickup/delivery is the responsibility of the buyer. I will store for 14 days, sheltered for free. Every day after that is a $2 per day. Conditions are negotiable. Overseas buyers are accepted.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.
