Here is a 1954 Chevy truck project that has been sitting under a local farmers hay shed for the past seven years. The PO drove the truck for a while with the original 235 but then had a Camaro front clip and rearend installed. He ordered a truck-load of new parts for it but lost interest and never touched it again. The truck has new floorboards and needs no body work except for sanding minor surface rust from sitting all these years. The wood bed was replaced with a sheet of metal and is in very good condition. The bed sides and top look as straight as new and the tailgate appears to be original with not a single dent. The truck supposedly belonged to an elderly couple about 20 miles from my home and I was told that it was seldom driven. The SC title shows 12,705 and is stamped "actual mileage. The dash is all original and still has the factory radio and gauges with no dings, extra holes or dents. The seat is missing but the seat frame is excellent. Here is a list of the new parts, still in cartons from Brothers Trucks. wiper blades, snap-in 9.5", black door panels, door panel screw set, door panel steel frames, outside door handles, interior door handles, interior window handles w/washers, black 2 pc. headliner with retainer and screw set, green side window glass, left & rt., green vent glass left & rt., window channel set, vent window seal set with rivets & setting tool, cab windlace rubber, mirror set-ribbed chrome, mirror arms w/screws & gaskets, inside rear view mirror, new hood emblems, pair black sunvisors, new green tinted windshield, new left & right side running boards, lower cab seals. This may not be a complete list of the new parts as I have not looked through all the boxes. One invoice shows cost of $755.66 not including the new windshield, back glass, running boards or the sunvisors. The running boards and windshield would be approx another $800. with shipping costs. The hood latch panel and radiator are in the back of the truck and appear to be in excellent condition. The radiator support is in place under the hood. The PO kept a record of expenses which includes parts of about $1600, body shop labor $2675, front clip and rear end with labor $2100. This truck is very solid and ready to be taken to the next level. It is for sale locally and this auction may end at any time. High bidder must deposit $500. into my paypal account within 48 hours of end of auction. Balance of payment must be made in cash at time truck is picked up. Thanks for looking and bidding.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
