Drive Type: auto
Model: Other Pickups
Mileage: 0
Trim: 2 door roadster pick up
This my 1923 Studebaker roadster pick up that could be concidered a rat rod or traditional hot rod. The frame is a custom 2x4 square tube steel frame with a 14" Z in the rear with a suicide front end. The rear end is out of a 1970 Chevelle and is a 12 bolt posi with 373 gears and disc brakes, the suspension is coil springs with Curtis rods and pan hard bar. The front axle is a Supper bell 4" drop with mono leaf spring ford spindles and disc brakes with a Chevy car bolt pattern. The cab is a 1923 Studebaker that has had the back of it smoothed out to have the bed fit up close to it and showed its age of 90 years dings and pitting and it gives it character and I didn't want to take that away so I left them there during the paint prep portion of the project. The bed is a 1953 dodge that has been shortened by 20" and the tail gate welded shut. The bed has a couple dings here and there and a bullet hole that I left as it seemed appropriate since it is painted like the Red Baron! The bed has redwood floor with a trunk with a locking lid so there is a good amount of cargo space. The grill shell is a 1930 ford that has been trimmed to fit the new aluminum radiator. The engine is a pretty fresh SBC 350 with a th350 trans that run great, has 70 psi oil pressure and shifts smooth. Has a new starter, fuel pump, chrom alternator, and new carburetor. The headers are zoomies that I mounted up side down to give it a cool custom look. The body and bed where primed and then painted with Imron 333 industrial satin red and the doors are satin white and the iron crosses are painted on not a decal. The wind sheeld is lexan 3/16" thick, has a bench seat out of a jeep I believe but not sure. Has a B&M shifter, the wheels are Chevy rallies with salt flat hub caps. The gas tank is made from an old Coors keg and holds 15.5 gal. Electrical is pretty simple as it has brake lights running lights and ignition and start that's it....didn't have turn signals in 1923 so I just use hand signals. It is registered as a 1923 Studebaker and has a clear title. I'm sure I may be forgetting something so if you have questions please ask or call me at 707 888 2745 before you bid and remember that this is a rat rod not fancy show car.....I have a low reserve on the truck and the winning bidder needs to have a bank wire transfer 1000.00 deposit within 48 hrs of auction end and final payment in cash in person or wire transfer to the bank within 5 days of close of auction. Shipping is responsibility of the winning bidder but I can assist in getting the vehicle loaded with your shipper...and once again call if you have any questions or need to see other pictures before you bid...thank you Branden

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
