1946 CHEVY HOT ROD PICKUP
This is one super cool truck. It's professionally built all the way, and is not one of these deathtraps that people seem to be calling a rat rod these days. This truck is one of a kind, with a well thought out build, and lots of money and time put into it. It wasn't thrown together with junky swapmeet and junk yard parts. Most everything except the body and accent pieces were new, but made to look like a 50 year old hot rod. If that's your definition of a rat rod, then this is it. This truck will hold it's own and draw a crowd at any car show or anywhere you park it.
I drive it all over, I haul my wife and kids around in it, and I never worry about safety issues or having it break down on me. You could fly in from anywhere and drive it home. I have a few old cars, and when I want to jump in one and go, and not worry about whether or not it will start or give me issues, this is the one I get in.
The truck has lots of awesome pinstriping done by Skratch, who you may have seen on Overhaulin'. He was on that show for about 4 years and does a lot of stuff for Chip Foose and a lot of high end cars all over.
I absolutely hate to sell it, but I have a new project to build and I need to sell it to make a parking space.
Now the details:
The cab is a 1946 Chevy pickup, unchopped, but channeled over the frame. My buddy who did the build is about 6'4" and fits in it comfortably. I'm 5'9" and have tons of room. The bed is a 1953 Chevy pickup bed that has been shortened and narrowed with a removable metal framework/ wood floor. The grille is a 1935 Chevy.
The doors have been completely gone through, dynamatted, everything in them rebuilt, new glass, new felt, etc.
The front windshield regulator has been rebuilt and the windshield cranks out great. The cowl vent has been rebuilt and works great too.
There is an awesome stereo under the seat that works off of your ipod, phone, mp3, or whatever you want to plug up to it.
Gauges are in the glove box. No speedometer. The cops are too blown away by how cool it is to worry about how fast you are going.
The seat is awesome. Black with red "ostrich" inserts. And seat belts.
Front and rear glass are cracked, spiderwebbed, have a bullet hole or two, and are original like we found it. They are too cool to replace with new glass.
Drivetrain:
Super solid 350. 010 4 bolt block..Not radical, but fast, loud, reliable, and looks great. Old school high rise 2 4 barrel edelbrock intake with 2 660 center squirter Hollys, custom ordered as a matching pair in the late 60's and treated to a high dollar rebuild job a few years back.
Custom ordered lake style headers with flame throwers. Yep, they work. I also have 2 other really cool sets of exhaust that were custom built for it that I will throw in.
350 Turbo with 2500 stall.
Rear end is 9" Ford with 3.08 gears and a spool. Four link set up with coilovers.
Disc Brakes on all 4 corners.
Fuel cell under the bed. Receiver hitch if you want to haul a trailer!
The frame is 2x4 rectangular tubing, built right. It sits right and is super low, but doesn't bottom out ever.
Chrome dropped I-beam front axel, hairpin radius rods, new reversed corvair steering box.
Wide whitewalls all the way around. Radials on the front, FIRESTONE DRAGSTERS on the rear.
This truck is a blast to drive. Rolls down the highway at 85 with one finger on the wheel. Runs good, stops good, and handles good. Doesn't roadwalk, goes straight, doesn't rattle. It's tagged and has a clear title in my name.
It is located in Athens, Texas and I encourage anyone who is seriously interested to come see it in person.
As it is an "old car" it will be sold "as-is, no warranty". $1000 deposit is due by wire transfer or paypal within 24 hours of auction ending, and the balance within 5 business days--wire transfer or cash. I will gladly help coordinate with a shipper if needed.
I'm not interested in any trades because the only reason I'm selling this is that I need the room. Like I said, It's a great vehicle and I don't want to part with it.
Thanks for looking! Please contact me if you have any questions.

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06s en route to owners [w/video]
Tue, Dec 2 2014Pretty much right on schedule, Chevrolet has begun shipping the very first customer examples of its 650-horsepower, supercharged Corvette Z06. In fact, according to General Motors, the earliest Z06s could be in customer hands by the end of this week. "It has been an incredible opportunity to work on Chevy's most capable model," said Jeff Lamarche, manager of Chevy's Bowling Green Assembly plant. "It truly is an amazing car, and we're thrilled to get them into the hands of our eager customers." Prices for the Z06 start at $78,995 for the hardtop model, while the first-ever Z06 Convertible kicks off at $83,995. Take a look below for the official press release from Chevrolet, and while you're down there, we've slipped in a new video of Corvette Racing's Tommy Milner taking a hot lap of Road Atlanta in a Z06, complete with some Performance Data Recorder footage. First 2015 Corvette Z06s on Their Way to Customers Most capable model in Chevrolet's history now shipping from Bowling Green BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Chevrolet is now shipping the all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 coupe from Bowling Green Assembly and some early customers could receive the much-anticipated supercar later this week. "It has been an incredible opportunity to work on Chevy's most capable model," said Jeff Lamarche, plant manager of General Motors' Bowling Green Assembly plant, "It truly is an amazing car, and we're thrilled to get them into the hands of our eager customers." The new Corvette Z06 offers the most choice for customers in the model's history. It is the first Z06 to offer an available eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and, thanks to a stronger aluminum frame, a removable roof panel. In addition, it is the first time since 1963 that the Z06 is available as a convertible – which will arrive in early 2015. The new LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 650 horsepower (485 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm) at 3,600 rpm – making the 2015 Corvette Z06 the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of the most powerful production cars available in the United States. To balance performance and efficiency, the LT4 leverages a trio of advanced technologies – direct injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing –with a new, more efficient supercharger. The LT4 helps make the Corvette Z06 the most capable car in the brand's history.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
