1955 Chevrolet 150, 60s style Gasser.
This was a body off build, the body was dipped and all the bad spots were replaced. The rear fenders were cut out to clear the 31x10 Hurst racing slicks. The bottom was undercoated and the top was sprayed with Sunpoppy Yellow. The interior is done in a nice camel tan cloth and vinyl combo. The wheels are American racing torque thrust 15x10 and 15x4.5. All the chrome was either redone or replaced. This car was finished in 2009 and has seen road use, there are some paint chips and wear.
The chassis was completely rebuilt new bushings, ball joints, springs and mounts. The rear end is a ten bolt gm with an auburn posi carrier, 4.11 gears and moser axles with screw in studs. The frame was sandblasted and shot chassis black along with all the control arms, nuts, bolts, brake drums and brackets. It still has the drum brakes all the way around with a corvette dual master cylinder for safety.
The engine is a.030 over 350 chevy hooked to a 4 speed Muncie with a Lakewood bellhousing. The engine has a 274 comp cams extreme energy cam, lifters and springs. The exhaust is handled by metallic ceramic coated hooker fenderwell headers and a pair of flowmaster mufflers tucked under each side. The fuel delivery is an edelbrock Air gap performer manifold toped by a 600 cfm 4bbl edelbrock carb. The tripower set up in some of the build pics is no longer on the car. The heads are old school double hump chevys with 2.02 valves and comp springs. The spark is handled by a Mallory dual point distributor and belden wires.
I have been running and showing this car since 2009 and it has all the required safety equipment to pass tech at the dragstrip. It has a driveshaft loop, Lakewood scatter shield, external battery shut off switch, clutch safety switch, coolant recovery tank, simpson racing seat belt, and trunk mounted fuel cell. This car has no radio, no wipers, no power steering, no power brakes, an no Kleenex dispenser. It was built as a 60's style gasser and it runs and drives like a 60's gasser. The 327 stripes and shop logo are all stickers and could be removed if the new owner does not like them. This is a used car sold as where is please ask any questions before bidding.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
