Rat Rod Pickup Truck .. 1956 Chevy .. Patina W/modern Powertrain .. No Reserve on 2040-cars
Wayzata, Minnesota, United States
1956 Chevrolet 3200 Pickup Rat Rod Built in the Traditional-Style, She sits low with just the right stance, and drives excellent. Best of all, no airbags or switches to deal with. The truck is a 1956 Chevrolet 3200 long box. Most of the trucks you see are the shorter 3100's making this one pretty unique. It sat on a farm for almost 30 years before being rescued and brought back to life. Its been completely redone mechanically, but still wears the original patina acquired during its life on the farm. Built over a 1976 Chevrolet 2wd Suburban frame and running gear, it is the best combination of modern drive-line and classic patina! This Truck was Featured (Centerfold) in the very First Issue of Rat Rod Magazine May 2010
Here are some details of the build: The Frame was shortened 2' to fit the wheel wells of the 1956 body. It was then narrowed 6" in the front. The front suspension consists of 3" Drop Spindles, 2" Drop Coils, custom upper A arms, new shocks Power Steering with the tried and true Mustang II Rack and Pinion Freshly Rebuilt 454 Big Block The engine breathes through a new Holley 650, over the rail race headers, and straight 4" exhaust (4" exhaust/headers were recently updated and can be seen in the later photos) Turbo 400 Transmission with B&M Shift kit, and floor shifter 4 core radiator cooled by dual Flex Lite Electric Fans New Power brakes on all four corners w/ rebuilt master and power booster 12 Bolt rear end with 3:73 gears and spooled The back of the truck was lowered with new rear leafs, axle over the springs, and new shocks The entire firewall, cab floor, and bed floor was painstakingly custom fabricated out of steel diamond plate The interior was left to its original patina (in true rat rod fashion) Original Seat (looks uncomfortable, but it isn't) Original dash with a few upgrades: Tach and GPS. Original speedo works (off by about 15mph) Tilt steering column, wooden moto-lita steering wheel All the glass is original to the cab, and fits the Rat Rod look Rims are raw steel smoothies 15x6 front 15x7 rear. 205-75/15 wide white walls in the front, 235-75/15 wide white walls in the rear (currently sitting on vintage Goodyear GT tires in the rear, both sets included in the sale) She is a blast to drive, and was built right. The 454 moves her like a rocket down the road, and can smoke both rears for days. You can cruise down the highway at 60mph with two fingers on the wheel, thanks to the power steering. The power brakes stop this beast like a modern day ride. The build was completed in 2008 (exhaust was updated in 2013) Passed the NSRA strict Vehicle Safety Certification Inspection in 2010 The Truck has a clear Minnesota Title and is titled on the 1976 Chevy Chassis vin #CCS166Fl37768

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings.
