51' Custom Chevy Truck With 460 Hp Ford Motor, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Missouri City, Texas, United States
|
We purchased this truck from a hot rod shop in Wisconsin. It was the owners personal shop truck that he created. We purchased it to advertise our company and it is has been very successful. This is not a show truck, but it could easily be one with very little work. We repainted the truck white and fixed everything that was wrong with it. The engine has been completely gone through. It is very fast and runs perfect and the belly burner exhaust is really a nice touch and gives off a really good sound. It is a real attention getter going down the road. Pin stripping and vinly lettering can be easily removed, but I would leave the pin stripping. It is really well done! We have well over $15,000 invested in the truck as it sits. To our knowledge, the truck needs nothing. If we were to keep it, we would probably put a more custom interior in it, but it looks really good as is. We are starting the auction at a low price because I have no idea of its value. Hopefully, people who knows trucks will. I have no idea if the milage is correct. I am assuming it represents the milage once the truck was completed by the builder. I will list what I know about the truck, but again I am not a collector, so my knowledge is limited. * Sits on a S10 chevy frame * 460 ford motor (do not know HP) * belly burner exhaust * automatic * chopped roof * new paint * custom interior and gauges * air ride suspension that can be adjusted * all new points plugs and wiring * rebuilt 4 barrel carburetor * title is in my hands and it is clear. I have tried to present the car to the best of my ability and it is being sold as is. Thanks for taking the time to look at our truck and I will try to answer questions, but I am limited in my knowledge. Forgot to say that it has a hitch hidden under the license plate. Plate is on a spring and it folds down. |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
