Up for sale is a custom 2 door 1955 Chevy Wagon street rod I bought out of southern California.

This car was built for Audiobahn to showcase their stereo equipment at car shows and the body on restored car looks amazing! It was featured in magazines and I have one that will sell with the car. Featured are Audiobahn 18 inch subs with ten speakers total. In the back are three amps powering the speakers and there is a new Kenwood KDC 448U tuner.

A lot of subtle changes have been made during the build process (note the quarter windows are taken out). I was told the paint and body work was $15,000.00 and I have no reason to doubt that. Time was taken making the body seams align properly. The chrome and stainless look perfect with no patina. All the rubber looks new, no rattles and the doors close better than any car I've owned. There is a patch panel on the driver side floor board, otherwise it is rust free under the car.

My wagon rolls on Colorado Customs 18" rims with BF Goodrich 245-40-18 tires in great condition. The car has been lowered giving it just that right stance. Colorado Customs also built a matching steering wheel mated to an ididit steering column.

You'll have power rack and pinion steering, power disc brakes and power windows. The interior is black leather. A B&M shifter shifts the 350 turbo trans that is mated to a 350 engine that is well dressed with polished intake, new Holley carb, polished alternator and a polished air conditioner compressor (not hooked up). March serpentine belt and pulleys turn the accessories.

An aluminum radiator with electric fan keep the car cool with no problems over heating.

The ride is very smooth, stops great with the disc brakes and the motor runs strong.

I have the car insured for $40,000.00 and it's worth it. Buy this one at a fraction of what it's worth. I'm not looking to trade. I can no longer drive to car shows and the car is just sitting in the garage.

You can reach me at 256-446-9646 or 256-412-3824. I will help in loading the car or maybe meet you half way if it's not too far.

I would seriously consider enclosed transport.....the car is that nice!

Bid with confidence. The car is exactly as listed. Draw a crowd wherever you stop. If you buy the car you will not be dissapointed.

The turn signals haven't been hooked up after the steering column was installed. I've had 2 neck surgeries and can't get under the dash to hook it up. Sorry this wasn't in the original listing.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
