Up for Sale again, because buyer didn't have the money to purchase the car.

 This is a custom Lead Sled that has been featured in several Hot Rod Mags, and Ratrod car shows. To start, it has a 194 straight 6, and the mounts have been modified to drop in a 350 if so desired. She runs and drives great, Just had a ring Job done on the car, so you are guaranteed to be able to hop in and go.

It has a rebuilt two speed powerglide transmission. The Driveshaft and rear-end were modified to open drive, which will make replacement parts more available and the drivability way more reliable. I reconditioned the "Original Interior" because its "original", and in damn fair shape for its age. The only tear are near rear window and can be covered with a serape as I do, the seat cover is on the front so I did not get it dirty while working on it, no tears in it, just usual wear for Original Mohair.

She has been Old School Lowered since 1968 and not for the faint at heart either. The ride height can be adjusted with a jack and spacers or different size springs, takes 15 minutes, the rear end was lowered with blocks and can be also adjusted/changed in less than an hour. This ride is a real cruiser if you are not down for driving a bad ass lowered car, or don’t know how to turn a wrench every once in awhile, then this Sled is not for you. Its Old School Original low, Ratrod cool, and rides exactly how cool old lowered cars were meant to. I swear once you ride in her, you’ll feel Like Cheech is next to you and understand the true meaning of Low rider.

The Windshield and rear glass are in great shape, the side windows on the other hand do have some cracks, and are 65 ech for three, those are the easiest to replace, but I ride with windows down so I left them. Not much going on in the truck just a trunk, but pans are good no rust.

This is a cool old car but it's not your dad's new vette, it's your Grandpa's favorite old toy. This is a great little car to cruise around in or to the bar and does she ever grab the attention, but mostly because this girl is smooth as melted ice-cream and twice as sweet. If anyone has any questions feel free to shoot an email. Thanks and I hope she can bring you as much fun as she has me…

  I do have her for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to pull her if I get an offer I just can’t refuse. I have set a low reserve for this car, so please if you do not have the money do not bid, and no I will not take payments or finance, so don't outbid everyone and then try and blackmail me into a deal, because I will report you and relist it!

Thanks to all of you honest bidders for looking. She is going to highest bid or best offer, which ever comes first.

  • The frame was boxed and modified for new motor mounts, so a 350 or BBC could be dropped in with no hassles
    1. It has been converted to a 12V system
    2. The Drivetrain has been modified to an "open system" which means it now has U-Joints for ease of access
    3. The motor was gone through a few months ago when a ring job was done on it
    4. It has straight exhaust
    5. The rear end was lowered with blocks, so height can be modified with ease
    6. Front Suspension can be changed in minutes using a jack and spacers, spring exchanges etc...
    7. Old School style lowered so height and ride can be changed using a wrench and a jack,
    8. Paint was touched up where needed, to keep the Old School feel, this truly is an Original Lowrider / RatRod like it was in 1960's
    9. The Reason it is for sale again is last bidder only had half the money and tried to guilt me into selling to him cheaper !!!

All I can add to this is you pump the gas once hold half way to floor, turn the key and she will start every time! Can be a daily driver or weekend cruiser !!! 

    I guarantee there are no major issues or rust on this ride !!!!!

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%

Sat, Jun 13 2015

General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
