 Up for auction is a fresh build, we started with a late model G.M. frame, L88 350 crate motor, and a TCI Turbo 350 Automatic transmission. The suspension is upper and lower control arms in front with 200 # coil overs in the rear, traction bars, axle ties. It has new brakes and rotors in the front with drums in the back. It consists of power steering and power brakes, It has all new hardware, brake lines, power booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valve. The cab is a 1947 International, which has been chopped 4" and painted corvette yellow. It has all new interior from seats, carpet, autometer gauges, removable steering wheel for easy access in and out. It has working tail lights, headlights, and turn signals and intergrated into the front headlights. It has a corvette style steel roll pan with a 11 gallon fuel cell on top. Brand new battery mounted in behind the seats, with a cheetah shifter mounted to the floor. The glass has cracks in the passenger side but I drive it as is. Same with the side windows but I just leave them down for fresh cool air, and so I can hang my arm out the window. It has custom made header mufflers with a edelbrock 650 cfm carb and electric fuel pump. Last but not least has a brand new set of American Racing aluminum wheels with cooper cobra's 295's on back and 235's on the front. Brand NEW. Still has the little rubber tabs. Overall the chassis, engine, trans, driveline, brakes, 100%  paint, body, windows not so much. It has orange peel and minor imperfections in paint, body is NOT perfect. It looks really good but this is still a custom rat rod, not a Autorama winner. I drive it around and it gets lots of attention, also will lay down rubber for a city block with no problems. If you have any questions feel free to call (606) 261-9101 Please no calls after 10 P.M. E.S.T. Also I reserve to end the auction early due to selling locally, But if this auction meets reserve then I will keep it on here. Thanks and happy bidding.

 This rod RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT. It has the old school look but drives like a later model G.M. If you are local and want to view this vehicle please call, and we'll go for a ride. Thank you.

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.
