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.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?
Sun, May 22 2016These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions.
