This 1931 Chevy pickup named "THE RUSTY SHERIFF" is chopped a total of 8 inches. It's themed after an old rusty sheriffs truck with a sheriff's badge from 1931 welded right to the front from the western series Hopalong Cassidy. It's built on a 2x3 Square Tube chassis, 13" Z'ed in rear and 7" up front. Front end is a 4" drop tube axle, Chevy spindles, with late 70(caprice, impala) rotors calipers and pads. It has a transverse spring up front for a total of 5" of drop. Steering is traditional style with a 1950 Dodge truck gear box. Motor is a fresh build, bored 30 over with a GM 1182 forged crank X rods and Speedpro forged flat top pistons. Comp Cam 272, 471 lift-very streetable. It has a Wieand high-rise intake with a Eldebrock 650 carb, Accell billet distributor. TH350 Tranny with a shift kit, alto clutches and corvette servo with a 1900 to 2500 stall converter. Rear end is from a 70 El Camino with 308 gears. Truck has a basic alarm with shock sensor for those car shows out of town and your ride has to sit outside in that shady hotel parking lot. Clean title as a 1976 Chevy Vega from the Doner car, where it all began. Black carpet floor, with gorilla style furr over tranny tunnel and on the roof. Seating is a black metal flake custom made bench style seat. Painted black dash with speedometer (cable not installed) below dash are the gauges for the oil pressure/Temp/voltage.... Ignition toggle mounted on dash along with a switch that controls high and low beams, and another switch that controls Taillights and dash lights. Small horn button controls Ahhooga horn mounted under the bed of the truck. Gas tank is a vintage FireStone keg that hold 15.5 gallons. Truck weighs just under 2k pounds with me in it. It doesnt take much for this thing to get after it. Awesome gas mileage too. Bed of the truck has a solid built metal frame structure with a wooden board over that and on top of that are fence pickets cut to size then treated to look like a vintage wooden bed. Gold metal flake steering wheel (detachable for security) and matching gold flaked shift knob. The tallest part of the truck stands 48 inches, Its mean,low,loud and fast. Comfort is sacrificed for style. I have driven this truck hundreds of miles to and from shows with out an issue every time. I trust this truck to drive anywhere. Im 6'0 tall and 215lbs and fit in here just fine. Sit in it like a Go-Kart, drive with both feet and hold on, cause this one books it down the highway. Low maintenance on a truck like this with everything out in the open, fluid changes are a breeze. 15 inch steel wheels wrapped in Coker bias ply wide whites. I went with bias ply tires because i like the nostalgic look of them. but if you have never driven a car with bias plys, it takes some getting use to. (they follow any pattern in the road) Truck has been on the Cover and Featured in the #64 July issue of OL' SKOOL RODZ still on the shelves in some stores. Was used on the tv series HGTV'd to lead the cast to the set of the show in the intro. Was also used in multiple Discover channel Outlaw Garage episodes with Jesse James when he was with Austin Speed Shop. Small write up in RAT ROD MAGAZINE and other local mags. Used in LUCKY 13 BRAND photo shoot, the list goes on. Multiple show winner and complete attention getter.
Please ask any other questions you may have. I love this truck, and a lot of love when into it, its simple yet extreme and feel its tastefully done, built right, and not built with crap from the kitchen and front yard, like so many others out there built to look like trash. Happy bidding. MOST CURRENT PHOTOS HAVE VENT HOLES IN VISOR WITH GOLD STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, JUST MESSAGE ME WITH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE!

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015
Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"
Mon, Oct 20 2014Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war
Mon, Jun 4 2018Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
