1947 Chevrolet Wrecker truck in running driving condition. It is in very solid condition with very little rust. The paint is weak but still on most of the cab. This truck has a later model 235 six cylinder engine with a Rodgers rebuild tag on it and it runs very well with no apparent smoke and good oil pressure. It has a 4 speed transmission with sub low that works well. It has been converted to 12 volt system and all lights work. It has a 2 speed vacuum shift rear and the wrecker boom and wench work off of the PTO. The wench picks up by the PTO but lets down manually. The Boom seems to be a early Holmes unit in functioning condition. It does have outriggers. The wood on the bed is bad and does need replacing. The cab and doors are very solid! Much better than most VA trucks of this age. This truck was originally purchased by one of the local Chevy dealers that went out of business many years ago. The tires on the back are worn and the front tires have good tread and they are all holding air well but have some dry rotting. This truck would be a great collectors item! You decide. No warranty expressed or implied. shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I am listing this truck for a friend and he can answer whatever questions you may have. His name is Harry and he can be reached at 434-349-2225. He does have a small reserve on the truck and do require a 500.00 payment at the end of the auction. Serious bidders only!

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.
Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

Chevrolet Camaro in Korea - Click above for high-resolution image
There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
