Santa Rosa, California, United States
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: auto
Model: Other Pickups
Mileage: 0
Trim: 2 door roadster pick up
This my 1923 Studebaker roadster pick up that could be concidered a rat rod or traditional hot rod. The frame is a custom 2x4 square tube steel frame with a 14" Z in the rear with a suicide front end. The rear end is out of a 1970 Chevelle and is a 12 bolt posi with 373 gears and disc brakes, the suspension is coil springs with Curtis rods and pan hard bar. The front axle is a Supper bell 4" drop with mono leaf spring ford spindles and disc brakes with a Chevy car bolt pattern. The cab is a 1923 Studebaker that has had the back of it smoothed out to have the bed fit up close to it and showed its age of 90 years dings and pitting and it gives it character and I didn't want to take that away so I left them there during the paint prep portion of the project. The bed is a 1953 dodge that has been shortened by 20" and the tail gate welded shut. The bed has a couple dings here and there and a bullet hole that I left as it seemed appropriate since it is painted like the Red Baron! The bed has redwood floor with a trunk with a locking lid so there is a good amount of cargo space. The grill shell is a 1930 ford that has been trimmed to fit the new aluminum radiator. The engine is a pretty fresh SBC 350 with a th350 trans that run great, has 70 psi oil pressure and shifts smooth. Has a new starter, fuel pump, chrom alternator, and new carburetor. The headers are zoomies that I mounted up side down to give it a cool custom look. The body and bed where primed and then painted with Imron 333 industrial satin red and the doors are satin white and the iron crosses are painted on not a decal. The wind sheeld is lexan 3/16" thick, has a bench seat out of a jeep I believe but not sure. Has a B&M shifter, the wheels are Chevy rallies with salt flat hub caps. The gas tank is made from an old Coors keg and holds 15.5 gal. Electrical is pretty simple as it has brake lights running lights and ignition and start that's it....didn't have turn signals in 1923 so I just use hand signals. It is registered as a 1923 Studebaker and has a clear title. I'm sure I may be forgetting something so if you have questions please ask or call me at 707 888 2745 before you bid and remember that this is a rat rod not fancy show car.....I have a low reserve on the truck and the winning bidder needs to have a bank wire transfer 1000.00 deposit within 48 hrs of auction end and final payment in cash in person or wire transfer to the bank within 5 days of close of auction. Shipping is responsibility of the winning bidder but I can assist in getting the vehicle loaded with your shipper...and once again call if you have any questions or need to see other pictures before you bid...thank you Branden

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]
Tue, Apr 1 2014UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales
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.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
