 Up for auction is a *MUST SEE* 1948 CHEVY TRUCK!  

This running/driving, unique bare metal truck is sure to turn heads!  The exterior has been stripped and cleared, and the brand new all chrome grille helps give it that "IN YOUR FACE" attitude!  Body does show its 66 years of being an American workhorse, but it only adds to the style and character of the truck, so I chose to leave it as is.  I am wanting to be as honest and upfront as I can, so pictures of what some might consider exterior "flaws", are included in the listing. 

The body has been lowered and is setting on an S-10 frame, with disc brakes and power steering.  The bed has been narrowed to fit the chassis, and the wooden plank floor has been raised and notched to clear the custom 1969 beer keg fuel tank.  The front floor pans have been replaced, and the transmission tunnel was fabbed up.  The side vents were welded up, and the door handles shaved with new Bear Claw latches installed.

The engine is a stock 350 with aluminum intake and a new 600 CFM Edelbrock carb.  It is cooled with an aluminum radiator and electric fan.  The exhaust is handled by Hedman Husler fender well headers, dumping through 2.5" straight pipes.  The transmission is a newly rebuilt 350 with Lokar shifter.  Brand new (uninstalled) hood hinges are included as well (see pic).

The interior of the truck is red with new Shark gauges, new wiring harness, new electric wipers, and new windshields and back glass with new rubber.  All lights and gauges work great.

Wheels are Weld Drag Star - 15x3.5 front - 15x8 rear, with 28x11.50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street rear tires.  The tires have about 50% tread left on the rear and 80% on front.     

The truck has that "old school" ratrod look and feel and runs and drives great!  If you like getting attention and the "thumbs up" sign when driving down the road, then this is the truck for you!!!!

IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU ARE UNSURE OF OR HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT, PLEASE ASK PRIOR TO BIDDING!  MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

TRUCK IS FOR SALE LOCALLY, SO SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. puts his Callaway Corvette and '55 Chevy on eBay

Sat, Jan 24 2015

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has put a couple of his personal cars up for sale on eBay. The first is a 1955 Chevy Bel Air that Junior had reworked by Funkmaster Flex, a bit of a diversion from Flex's more common Ford efforts. Junior's ride has a replacement chassis from Jim Meyer Racing, a 434 small-block tuned by Sharioff Racing to 500 horsepower, and truly thin rubber on what appear to be aluminum billet rims with Junior's former number 8 on the center caps. The interior is all custom and painted to match the outside, and those seats have been completely reupholstered. The second car is a 1999 Callaway C12, the 18th of 19 C12s built that year and featured in a 2002 issue of AutoWeek. It joined Earnhardt's private collection in 2004. Built on the base of a C5 Chevrolet Corvette and using a lot of technical know-how from Callaway's European racing program, the BMW #287 Blue Pearl C12 had its V8 bored out to 6.2 liters and graced with Callaway's Supernatural upgrade; it also has a Callaway coil-over suspension with adjustable dampers. There's new bodywork all around, and when new it cost about $200,000. At the time of writing bidding on the Bel Air was up to $80,100, the C12 was at $63,100. The auction ends Monday morning, and the winning bidders have the option of having their prizes autographed and retrieving the keys from Dale Jr himself if they're willing to go to Moorseville, NC.
