Clay Center, Kansas, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: 327 Engine, 3 speed and 3:70 Rear End Gear
Model: Other Pickups
Mileage: 100
Trim: Stock
Up for sale is a project that I have been working on and off from the late 80's-early 90's. I am cleaning out due to age, health and other interests. This will definitely make a nice ride, rat rod-whatever your wants might be!
I had the roof cut off and extended the cab approximately 12". I made a removable roll bar out of 1/4" thick gas pipe for sturdiness and safety. The engine is a 327 Chevrolet with a mild cam. Running a 3 speed with a new Hurst shifter and a 3:70 rear end. Brakes, shocks, and exhaust are all new. Front axle is a dropped tube axle (new) with new king pins. Steering is a stock box with a late model column. There is only about 100 miles on the odometer since I got it all running. Engine does have more miles, but not sure how many. Runs strong!
Has a plastic windshield in it now but sale includes a safety glass insert to go with the truck. Grille shell is an original and had about 3 new bars put in, straightened and then powder coated the gray that you see. Has 14" x 6" Centerline wheels on front and 15" x 10" Centerline wheels on the rear. Fenders are fiberglass all the way around and are like new. The passenger side would need some work or replaced as it sliced through a post??
The running boards are made out of 16 gauge metal and have been welded to the original boards.
The original boards were cut along the inside lip to allow for drilling of holes in the new covers so I could run side board lights before the new metal was welded on. NO holes yet! The running board taper out on each side about 3" wider to make the rear end/fenders give a tubbed look. The metal that you see in the photo is for the front and sides of the bed I was going to make as well as the square tubing for the stake pockets.
Mufflers are the quiet type but still have a nice sound. The hood is a one piece hood but needs to be finished welded. There are metal side filler panels that go with the truck to finish out the sides. One has already been cut out so there is a start for a pattern, but would recommend creating a template before cutting. EVERYTHING bolts in/on the frame/running gear. There has been no welding other than the rear shock mount/cross member.
Wiring panel is from Affordable Street Rods and has some extra terminals that can be used. The only items wired up are the horn, lights, brakes, mechanical speedometer, turn signals-etc. Just those items that make it legal and street worthy.
Doors are suicide and need fitting and completed. The filler panels for both sides are included for the cab extension and to give the driver and passenger more available leg room as well as safety from the roll bar. Also included is the Inside door skins. I have tried to include photos that show how everything is bolted in.
As shown in the photos, everything is included for the cab that I had to cut off. I guess you could extend that as well if you wanted to. Also included is a top folding assembly off a 1964 MGB that I was going to use for a pattern or re-work to fit on the truck. There are many other parts-including the original rear spring hangers that go with this truck.
Also included with the project is another fairly complete 1937-1938 Chevrolet cab. Includes 3 doors and all the hinges. There is a good driver door and 2 passenger doors to make one good one. The cab does have the original gas tank. If you don't want to finish the roadster, then put on this cab? YOU can do what you want and NO I WLL NOT PART OUT THIS SALE! I AM GETTING CLEANED OUT!
These items must be picked up by buyer as I cannot deliver or ship. Will sell world wide. $500 by PayPal due at close of auction.
This is a heck of a deal with all of the hard work done or at least started and will provide many miles of fun and enjoyment. Rat Rods are in so why not go with the flow? I will be throwing in any extra parts that I can find and they will go with this auction. Don't let this one pass you by.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown
Wed, Jan 29 2014They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. puts his Callaway Corvette and '55 Chevy on eBay
Sat, Jan 24 2015Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has put a couple of his personal cars up for sale on eBay. The first is a 1955 Chevy Bel Air that Junior had reworked by Funkmaster Flex, a bit of a diversion from Flex's more common Ford efforts. Junior's ride has a replacement chassis from Jim Meyer Racing, a 434 small-block tuned by Sharioff Racing to 500 horsepower, and truly thin rubber on what appear to be aluminum billet rims with Junior's former number 8 on the center caps. The interior is all custom and painted to match the outside, and those seats have been completely reupholstered. The second car is a 1999 Callaway C12, the 18th of 19 C12s built that year and featured in a 2002 issue of AutoWeek. It joined Earnhardt's private collection in 2004. Built on the base of a C5 Chevrolet Corvette and using a lot of technical know-how from Callaway's European racing program, the BMW #287 Blue Pearl C12 had its V8 bored out to 6.2 liters and graced with Callaway's Supernatural upgrade; it also has a Callaway coil-over suspension with adjustable dampers. There's new bodywork all around, and when new it cost about $200,000. At the time of writing bidding on the Bel Air was up to $80,100, the C12 was at $63,100. The auction ends Monday morning, and the winning bidders have the option of having their prizes autographed and retrieving the keys from Dale Jr himself if they're willing to go to Moorseville, NC.
