1947 International Custom Street Hot Rat Rod Chopped Lowered 350 V8 New Build on 2040-cars
Morehead, Kentucky, United States
Up for auction is a fresh build, we started with a late model G.M. frame, L88 350 crate motor, and a TCI Turbo 350 Automatic transmission. The suspension is upper and lower control arms in front with 200 # coil overs in the rear, traction bars, axle ties. It has new brakes and rotors in the front with drums in the back. It consists of power steering and power brakes, It has all new hardware, brake lines, power booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valve. The cab is a 1947 International, which has been chopped 4" and painted corvette yellow. It has all new interior from seats, carpet, autometer gauges, removable steering wheel for easy access in and out. It has working tail lights, headlights, and turn signals and intergrated into the front headlights. It has a corvette style steel roll pan with a 11 gallon fuel cell on top. Brand new battery mounted in behind the seats, with a cheetah shifter mounted to the floor. The glass has cracks in the passenger side but I drive it as is. Same with the side windows but I just leave them down for fresh cool air, and so I can hang my arm out the window. It has custom made header mufflers with a edelbrock 650 cfm carb and electric fuel pump. Last but not least has a brand new set of American Racing aluminum wheels with cooper cobra's 295's on back and 235's on the front. Brand NEW. Still has the little rubber tabs. Overall the chassis, engine, trans, driveline, brakes, 100% paint, body, windows not so much. It has orange peel and minor imperfections in paint, body is NOT perfect. It looks really good but this is still a custom rat rod, not a Autorama winner. I drive it around and it gets lots of attention, also will lay down rubber for a city block with no problems. If you have any questions feel free to call (606) 261-9101 Please no calls after 10 P.M. E.S.T. Also I reserve to end the auction early due to selling locally, But if this auction meets reserve then I will keep it on here. Thanks and happy bidding.
On Jul-22-14 at 06:44:49 PDT, seller added the following information: This rod RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT. It has the old school look but drives like a later model G.M. If you are local and want to view this vehicle please call, and we'll go for a ride. Thank you. |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
