1955 chevrolet pick up, frame off restoration, numerous custom features.  The body was lifted off the frame, two small patch panels welded in the lower rear cab area, but all other body and frame components were solid and straight.  This truck is now rust free.  The engine is a rebuilt smallblock 305 ci, the transmission is a Saginaw 4 speed manual, and the rear end has been updated with Tom's axles.  The gears are perfect for the highway, and the motor tachs 2800 rpm at 70 mph.  The bed wood is original, cracked and worn, but very solid.  For a better appearance, I installed a rubber bed mat, which looks great with the matte black paint.  The interior is all custom, with embroidering on the door panels and seat.  The carpet covers the lower door panels and floor, and a new headliner. Unlike most older trucks, the door steps are not rusted out, and they are in pristine condition, just like the rest of the truck.   The dash has new white-faced Autometer guages for Fuel, Volts, Temp, digital oil pressure, and tachometer.  The truck has power steering  and power brakes.  The firewall is smoothed and finished, with all holes filled and the wiring hidden.  The truck has been rewired completely, with all original wiring replaced with new wiring.  This truck is loaded with new parts, including battery, starter, alternator, MSD electronic distributor, 8mm wires and MSD coil, new brakes, new front wheel bearings, tie rod, tie rod ends and other steering components. All window cranks, door handles (both inside and outside) are new, as are both side mirrors.   All window glass is in excellent condition, and windows work perfectly.  A custom stereo system is concealed behind a small door in the dash, which accesses a Kenwood stereo with CD, and is Sirius/MP3 ready.  This truck is a real head-turner, and gets attention wherever it goes.  The exhaust system is custom 2 1/2 inch pipe, with Hooker headers and Hooker mufflers, which give a very mellow and pleasing sound.   For further info, or questions, please call Phil at 760-470-1317.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats

Tue, Nov 4 2014

Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
