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.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut – which could pressure the stock."

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
