Frame Off 1956 Chevy Short Bed Pickup on 2040-cars
Sevierville, Tennessee, United States
Your search for the classic truck of your dreams is over. This beautiful purple 1956 Chevy short bed is just the ticket. I bought it as just a frame, bare cab and front sheet metal so you name it I had to buy it. It is powered by a new GMPP 350 RamJet fuel injected crate motor that pumps out 350 hp and 400 lb ft of torque. It has a polished billet Vintage Air Front Runner system and coated headers that flow into 2.5" stainless steel exhaust with an H pipe & Flowmasters. The engine is backed up by a modified 700R4 overdrive trans with a 2500 converter and a Lokar shifter. The TCI suspension consists of a power Mustang II rack, 4 link with coil overs and a Ford SVO 3.45 posi rear. 4 wheel power disc brakes with an under cab booster and master cylinder handle the stops and it rides on 17" Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Kumho tires. It features a 1994 Sport Side bed and a reverse flip hood. Countless hours were spent getting the body of this outstanding truck just right and the paint is deep and slick.There is one small blemish in the paint above the left front wheel that does not show up in pictures and can't be seen when the truck is on the ground. I will get it fixed before selling the truck. All of the chrome, aqua tinted glass and weather strips were replaced during the restoration. The interior has gray leather power GM buckets and gray tweed Rod Doors panels, The dash houses purple Dakota Digital gauges in a new factory bezel, the controls to the ice cold Vintage Air and a JVC CD player. The sound system is completed with a Kenwood amp and 4 Rockford Fosgate speakers. An IDIDIT tilt column,center console and seat belts round out the interior. The truck was wired with an American Autowire harness that is specific to the truck. It has an under bed 15 gallon aluminum fuel tank with a TPI internal pump, It is kept cool with a custom aluminum radiator with a censor controlled 3000 cfm electric fan.I built the truck to drive so the frame is painted black and it is undercoated. If you're looking for a classic truck don't miss out on this opportunity to own one of the cleanest 56s I've ever seen. Interesting GM trades will be considered and if you have any questions call Brian at 865 908-7731 before 10 PM EST.This truck is listed on other web sites for much more and is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end this listing early. Spring is almost here and it's time to get that new toy you have wanted all winter. *** MAKE ME AN OFFER. THE BOSS SAYS IT NEEDS TO GO***

2016 Chevy Volt arrives with 50-mile EV range, 41 mpg [w/ video]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Let's start with the numbers. The 2016 Chevy Volt will have an all-electric range of 50 miles from a new, 18.4-kWh lithium battery. It will get 41 miles per gallon (combined) once the battery runs dry and have 102 MPGe. Oh, and it has five seats, sort of. To compare, today's four-seat 2015 Volt has a 38-mile range from a 17.1-kWh battery in a powertrain that offers 37 mpg and 98 MPGe. So, across the board, there are notable improvements. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk story. General Motors will unveil the new Volt at the Detroit Auto Show later today, but it's been talking about how this new version – the first major plug-in hybrid vehicle to get a serious redo in the modern era – was crafted with reams and reams of data from first-gen Volt customers. At a preview event for journalists last week, GM executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told Autoblog that these owners "gave us the recipe" to make the second-gen model. At the top of the request list was more range (check), more "fun-to-drive" behavior (check?) and a smoother and quieter experience (we'll assume a check here, given that the new 1.5-liter four-cylinder – the first North American application of this new engine family – should offer more power with less noise than the previous 1.4-liter, four-cylinder powerplant). Other customer-driven changes in the new Volt include a different place to store the charging cable (in the side of the trunk instead of under the load floor) and a new brake system with improved blended regenerative braking feel as well as driver-selectable regen levels. The requested 50-mile range comes from a new, lighter battery that has increased capacity from fewer cells (192 vs. 288) and a simplified control architecture. Along with the new battery, the electric drive unit is a two-motor deal that is up to 12 percent more efficient and 100 pounds lighter, while also being "tremendously smaller," notes Fletcher. It offers 294 pound-feet of torque and a maximum 149 horsepower of "motoring power" delivered to the wheels. GM says it has worked hard to reduced the amount of rare earth materials in these motors, and one of them doesn't use any at all. The new powertrain offers improved acceleration times, as well. The 2016 Volt can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, a seven-percent improvement, while the 0-30 mph time has been improved by 19 percent, down to 2.6 seconds. The new Volt is more conventional looking, but certainly not completely ordinary.
2016 Lamborghini Huracan at the Horse Thief Mile | AutoblogVR
Tue, Sep 13 2016AutoblogVR returns to the Horse Thief Mile in the Mojave Desert to put the Lamborghini Huracan to the test. It's everything we want a modern supercar to be: Powerful, striking in appearance, and a riot to drive. But does it live up to Lamborghini's unique performance heritage? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reviews the Huracan on Horse Thief's unyielding curves and elevation changes to find out. Meanwhile, Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin reviews a different kind of performance car – the Chevy SS at the IndyCar circuit on Detroit's Belle Isle. He's ably assisted by ace driver Simon Pagenaud. You must watch his hot lap! The SS is old-school V8 American muscle wrapped in Australian design and engineering. This AutoblogVR segment also launches on the app Sept. 13, and the teaser follows the Huracan preview above. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!
GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
