Spring is almost here and it's time to get ready for the car shows and cruises. This beautiful custom 1956 Chevy truck is just what you need. It was purchased as a bare frame with the TCI suspension partially installed, the cab and front sheet metal. A complete frame off every nut, bolt and part new restoration was done. The truck features a reverse flip hood and a 1994 Sport Side bed. The suspension consists of a TCI Mustang II style Power Rack & Pinion and 4 link with chrome coil overs in the rear supporting a Mustang SVO rear with 3.45 posi. It rides on Billet Specialties GTX03 17" wheels wrapped in Kumho ties and stops on a dime thanks to the 4 wheel power disc brakes. Power is supplied by a GMPP 350 Ram Jet fuel injected crate engine with a polished Vintage Air Front Runner set up. It is factory rated at 350 hp and 400 lb ft of torque. The exhaust flows through ceramic coated headers to 2 1/2" stainless steel pipes with an H pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. The engine is backed up by a modified 700R4 with a 2500 converter and Lokar shifter. The interior consists of gray leather power GM buckets and tweed Rod Doors panels. The dash houses purple Dakota Digital gauges the controls to the ICE COLD Vintage Air unit and a Clairion stereo with CD. A Kenwood amp & Rockford Fosgate speakers complete the sound system. The interior also has an Ididit tilt column with a classic Grant wheel, center console and 3 way seat belts. Other upgrades include an aluminum radiator with a 3000 cfm sensor controlled electric fan, 15 gallon aluminum gas tank with an internal fuel pump mounted under the bed and an American Auto Wire Harness made specifically for the truck. Everything on this truck from the glass to the door mechanisms to the weatherstripping was all purchased new.My limited photography skills do not do this award winning truck justice. It is pictured on page 64 of the December 2011 issue of Classic Trucks. I reserve the right to end this listing at any time due to local listings.Interesting trades will be considered. Make me an offer, you never know. Any questions please call Brian at 865 908-7731 before 10 pm EST. Thanks for looking

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance
Thu, Aug 7 2014Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Chevy EN-V 2.0 coming to Tianjin Eco-City in China
Fri, Jun 20 2014Chevrolet is bringing its EN-V 2.0 to the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in China to show off the "Electric Networked-Vehicle" and demonstrate sustainable urban mobility. The small, two-seat EV concept is an updated version of the original EN-V, a vision of getting around in a future world where space is at a premium and clean air is a priority. So what better place to showcase the evolved EN-V than at the Tianjin Eco-City? The Eco-City is being developed as a planned urban space with eco-consciousness built in. The joint venture between China and Singapore offers an alternative to country living and smog-filled cities. Tianjin Eco-City, slated to be completed by 2020, will be able to offer 350,000 inhabitants clean air and water, renewable energy, green transportation and living spaces and, if all goes as planned, jobs for 50 percent of the residents. Currently, only about three square kilometers of the planned 30 square kilometers have been built, with only about 6,000 permanent residents, but there's still time. The EN-V 2.0, as the "Networked" part of its name suggests, not only features mobile internet, but can communicate with other cars around it. Along with GPS and built-in sensors, this connection between vehicles allows the car to drive autonomously (at least in theory - again, there's still time). This is ideal in an urban environment where congestion can be a major issue. The EN-V 2.0 improves upon the original concept with climate control, storage space and all-weather capability, which also make life more bearable and daily commuting possible. We first saw renderings of the updated vehicle in 2012. The Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 will be used in the Eco-City's National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park of the course of the two-week demonstration. Read on below for more in the press release from GM. GM to Demonstrate Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 in Tianjin Eco-City SHANGHAI – General Motors today announced that it will begin demonstrating the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 (Electric Networked-Vehicle) in the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City this week, signaling the company's learning and progress in sustainable urban mobility. The demonstration will help GM further understand consumers' usage of low-speed transportation tools for their daily commute. During the two-week demonstration period, the EN-V 2.0s will be used in the National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park inside the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City.
