This is my 1949 Chevrolet truck, I have been slowly building this for some time now and as you can see I went for the rat rod look, everyone diggs the paint job and its a real shame I never got it on the road. It has a '72 454 and turbo 400 from a motorhome, I have around $6000 of receipts just in the motor. It was completely reconditioned, polished and balanced, rumpety cam and inspected. Needs headers. This thing is an absolute monster..

Air bag system is already all hooked up, 3gal tank and Firestone compressor. Air ride 4 paddle twin gauge controller mounted under dash. Controls each bag individually and doesn't allow bleed when cornering so it will handle amazingly. Sits about a half inch off the ground when lowered.

Band new loom pushed through firewall, started connecting it all, super simple instructions and easy set up. Brand new steering column, gauges have been professionally reconditioned and are as new internally ($600+), bucket seats with heated seat elements in both lower and upper, finished in tweed and distressed leather vinyl, fatmat throughout, factory radio hole delete and new handles, liner in box, heater box, new glass, window felts and other misc. interior parts.

Body is in excellent shape, no rust, no bog, I looked for a long time to find a shell in this condition. It's finished in a rusty patina paint job and looks awesome. have the front badge, new lights, new hinges, new moonies, posts and other parts.

The petrol tank is in the wood trunk, needs plumbing, wood in the back has been antiqued and there's a thick bar top coat on top.

It has staggered white wall radials with less than 500 miles, over $1700 new with smoothies. 4 wheels disc brakes, new booster, new lokar shifter installed... I have thousands of dollars in parts and pretty much everything to get this on the road!! I have done the expensive part so this is s great project. I haven't gotten round to obtaining a title, I was going to finish it and take it to CHP and get a new title that way but its not a driver yet. This isn't too difficult when it's driving and have bill of sale.

I've been building this for a long time and due to new commitments I wont have any time at all to finish so I'm selling my projects, just want to recoup some of the cash I've spent. Very easy to see the value in this truck it's going to be badass, these easily fetch 25 to 30 k in this spec (bags, built BBC, 4 wheels disc, clean and unique) anyone who has seen can't believe how awesome it is, get yourself into a classic that will be worth top dollar when done! All the bits are there it just needs time. more parts than pictured.

Happy to help out of state buyers!

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
