1955 Big Back Windowed Truck Somewhat Restomoded on 2040-cars
Kingston, Tennessee, United States
|
Total Frame off restoration. '73 Nova front subframe with power disc brakes and power steering, all rebuilt. Truck is lowered about 5 inches all around and rides and drives very good. Everything has been replace on this truck: reconditioned American Racing "Daisies" wheels and new tires all around. Complete boxed frame plus extensive rust preventive treatment throughout chassis. Truck drives and handles very nicely. It has a 300 hp 327 ci engine taken from a 1965 Chevy Impala with only 56K original miles on it. I put an additional about 3k miles myself on it. It is a joy to drive. It has a late'90s 5speed pickup truck manual transmission that works flawlessly and fits the trucks character perfectly. It has Magnaflow stainless steel mufflers on it along with a complete new dual exhaust system. The wiring has been completely replaced with an "easy wiring" wiring harness. The 4 gage instrument set are Autometer with the speedometer bein a very close matching electronic programmable model all on a new billet custom dash panal. It has a modern GM tilt steering column along with a new Grant Mahagany wheel. All chrome on the vehicle except the center grill section is new from Brother's Trucks. The bed has been done in treated pine 5/4" decking planks routed to fit the stainless strips, but before assembly the were coated with a deck restoration product you can get at Lows, it's called RESTORE. It can be mixed in ANY color, is easy to roll on and is the best wearing bed liner material I have ever saw. Plus if it did somehow get discolored just roll on a new coat. The truck has new carpet and newly recovered door panels. It has a new headliner in it. It has all new rubber seals and wheatherstripping. I did not put a heat/air system in it. I meant to, just didn't get to it. The seats are out of a late 90's Chevy car, I think a lumina or something like that. But they fit the truck perfectly and are sooo comfortable. The truck has all new glass, tinted grey in back and on the sides, clear with green upper boarder on the windshield This truck is a joy to drive and gets more thumbs up and approval than any car I've every had (and that has been quite a few). |

GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
