1949 3100 Chevy 5 Window 216 on 2040-cars
Bremerton, Washington, United States
this is a 1949 Chevy 3100 5 window truck. This is not a luxury SUV, or a
maintenance-free disposable import. It has some rust, has wind noise, and character. It's a Hot Rod. It should rides/drives like a Hot Rod. All of these are GOOD things. It is not new, it is not pristine, but it is from WA and it's Cool! If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you have been posting on facebook about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you feel you are owed anything in the world & have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you consider the 2nd Amendment a relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL, this Hot Rod is for you. Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate? Have you ever uttered the words, "Hold my beer and watch this ..."? While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, "I could hit that from here with the .22 ..."? Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun? Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail? When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project? Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage? -could you not care less? Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned? Do you still miss your first ride? ( mine was a '63 Bel-air post) Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks? Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars? Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement, torque, and All Mighty Internal Combustion? If you answered in the affirmative to the preceding: This is your kind of hot rod! DETAILS: -The badass little 216 OEM doesnt starts and runs(it turns with the battery). It has an new wires and 6 volt battery. - Rust in the feet floor board and left driver side cab corner - Right side windshield will need to be replace - no spark to coil. -Tranny is a manual. - full rebuild or make it a runner? It's has a nice "patina runner look''... QUESTIONS: -Why are you selling? I can't justify owning it anymore. Motorsickles, work, travel, and many other hot rod projects and beer have consumed my time and money. Someone else needs to appreciate the Chevy for what it is: awesome American mechanical artistry. -Will you take [insert ridiculously stupid low number here]? No. If I wanted [ridiculously low number] I would have asked [ridiculously low number] -Would this make a good car for my son/daughter? Hell. Yes. Not only a good car, a learning experience. Introduction to vehicular maintenance. -Will you take a check / cashier's check / Western Union Transfer / Nigerian Promissory Note? No. -No, really, all I have is [lowball dollar amount]? That's great, I don't give a bleep. Why? Because I don't HAVE to sell this little beauty. Truth be known, I'd rather keep it. But if it's going to a good home - I will sell. -Why are you such a dick? Everything is relative; you should see my friends. |

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
