One of a kind custom Chevy C50 Pickup. My father and I bought this truck from a very talented fabricator in Tampa, FL about a year ago. We were blown away by the quality of work, though there were a few details left to finish up. We completed the truck; restored the engine compartment beautifully and took care of some vibration issues in the driveline. The truck now looks and drives AWESOME! In a nutshell: engine, trans, clutch, rear end, brakes, steering are all solid and trouble-free and the body and frame are completely rust-free. You can drive this truck anywhere.
Here are the details:
10 FEET removed from original moving truck frame; 5 feet in front of and 5 feet behind the rear wheels. That is a stock width 8' Chevy truck bed set atop the original C50 framerails. She has a strong, reliable 350 V8, 4-speed manual with a 2 speed rearend for a total of 8 forward gears. Runs and drives great, totally sorted with no vibrations. Everything works, stops, goes well. Body has a nice 10-footer paintjob, I am picky, it looks great to most people. Minor issues include some bodywork shrinkage & tiny bubbles on the bedsides. The interior is clean & original. This truck is a blast to drive and turns heads everywhere. The engine compartment is completely restored with the carb rebuilt, working manual choke, new belts & hoses, new master cylinder; looks absolutely fantastic. Wood bed floor all redone. Rear end, wheel bearings & brakes just serviced. Front tires are fine for around town but may need to be replaced in the future due to some dry rot. Other than that needs nothing! No disappointments. This truck will fit on a normal open flatbed for shipping and estimated weight is between 6-7k lbs.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe
Fri, Aug 14 2015A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:
