Underneath the dust, rust and broken glass is one of the best examples of Chevrolet history that would love to be restored or rodded out. This Art Deco 1941 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup has been around the block a time or two, but I'm guessing you have never seen one quite like this. This truck was a rat rod before rat rods were cool. Just look at the custom front fenders, chicken wire grille and wooden running boards. This one just speaks for itself. Please look at the pictures to see this in full detail and don't speculate anything. If you need more details please ask and I'll do my best to get you the answers you need. As you can probably guess this truck has been sitting outside for several years. It is a fairly complete and solid vehicle, but will require a total restoration or used as parts or a rat rod. Parts are rusted, glass is broken and the multi-colored paint is peeling, but you just can't make patina like that. The doors have missing parts but do open, as does the windshield. The hood is not the best, but does operate. The box came from another truck and is just sitting on the frame. The engine is stuck, the steering box is locked up and the steering column is broken. The "mileage" odometer reading is unknown, but is exempt on the title because of the age. This will roll onto your trailer and I can help with a tractor and loader. The wheels are from a mid 70's chevy 4WD truck with pretty nice 31x10.5x15 tires. This has a clear, clean and current Nebraska title as a 1941 Chevrolet Pickup with the model # matching the vin tag. As you can see in the picture the vin tag is all faded, but the stamped vin # is intact. If you are the winning bidder on this auction and you only want the title and vin tag, I will gladly send those to you free of charge and reimburse you $100 from the final bid for the truck. If you only want parts off this truck, you can gladly come and remove what you want and I will dispose of the rest. I will continue to store this truck outside in the elements up to 1 year free of charge until you come pick it up. If I still have it after that year is up and no other arrangements have been made I will consider the truck abandoned and I will resell again. This truck is selling as is where is with no guarantee. I will require a $200 deposit via pay pal within 72 hours of auction end, and the remaining amount within 30 days or cash at the time of pickup. Please plan on picking this up yourself. I have worked with shippers before and some have been difficult to deal with. The shipper I would use with no questions asked, is Marc Springer from Snortn Boar Transport. You may have seen his work on the A&E TV show Shipping Wars. He shipped my 1940 1 1/2 ton on the first season episode "Bullship" I have already contacted Marc, and he would be glad to ship for me again. Who knows, maybe it would make it on TV again. I would consider delivering this myself within a 200 mile radius of me for $2.00 a loaded mile. So if it would help for me to get it a little closer to you, it may be a possibility. My reserve is low on this truck as I feel the title is worth it alone. But if you were to part and scrap this out there is plenty of $$$ to make. I do have other parts that may be available to buy depending on when this truck is picked up. Thanks for looking, and please email me for any questions and or concerns.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 engine blows up at just 891 miles
Thu, Jan 1 2015You've waited and watched and waited some more for the arrival of your 650-horsepower, $78,000 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Finally, that joyous day arrives and you eagerly, but gingerly, begin to break-in the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 monster under your hood. Then 900-odd miles after delivery, your excitement grinds, quite literally, to a halt. That's what the owner of one 2015 Z06 claimed happened to him when a simple break-in drive resulted in a lunched engine. The owner, known as Lawdogg149 on Corvette Forum, says he was out breaking-in his car ahead of a January track event when it happened. "While making a pull from 35 miles per hour, I accelerated and shifted short of redline, and boom - the car began knocking. I pulled over and popped the hood. I could hear a loud knock coming from the No. 6 cylinder area along with a serious, grinding, metal-on-metal sound coming from the supercharger area," Lawdogg wrote. A subsequent trip to the dealer confirmed his concerns, with the service facility telling Lawdogg that the No. 6 valvetrain had failed. The dealer couldn't research the issue further, though, as General Motors requested the engine be returned for a more thorough evaluation. The good news for the Z06's unlucky owner, at least, is that GM will be covering the engine replacement under warranty, an expense that Corvette Forum estimates is a nearly $24,000 procedure. At this point, the two leading theories behind the engine's detonation involve a manufacturing defect – which could be why GM is so keen to tear the blown powerplant down – or a mistake on the part of Lawdogg. As Motor Authority points out, such an error could be something as simple as the Z06's owner accidentally shifting to first rather than third during his 35-mph pull. If, however, there's a deeper manufacturing problem with the Z06's engine, this might not be the only case we end up hearing about.
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
