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. |

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.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It 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.
