Up for auction is a 1953 Chevrolet Pickup. I purchased the truck from the man who done the frame modifications, lowered the body and installed the modern drive train. I will tell you every thing I was told when I bought the truck. The front sub frame is from a early 70s Camaro the rear frame was notched and the 10 bolt rear end out of the same Camaro was installed. Drop spindles were used to lower the truck. The engine is a 350 out of a early 70s pickup it has a four bolt main with late model heads, aluminum intake four barrel carb, 12 volt, electronic ignition and power steering. Engine starts and runs great, does not smoke or burn oil. It does have a small leak around rear main. Transmission is a 400 turbo that shifts smooth and stout no problems here at all. No problems leaks or noises from the rear end. Stopping power is provided by front power disk brakes and rear drums, they work great and do not pull when applied. Now for the body and interior. The previous owner wanted a patina look and sprayed black, grey and white paint randomly all over the truck. The front and rear fenders have the seams filled and are molded to the body. There is some rust on the bottom inside of both doors, there has been some repairs where bondo is present that need finished, cab corners have been repaired and look decent. You can tell the body work was done by amateurs. Looks good for a Rat Rod driver. Interior is decent it has power bucket seats installed ( I also have a 60 40 split power bench seat that comes with it out of a Buick Lesabre. Pictured ) Dash, door panels, and headliner ok. Has had some floor repair but feels solid. Instruments are original 6 volt and do not work, spedo works but is not accurate, has heat blower works , late model tilt steering wheel, all glass is good windows roll up and down good. All lights and signals work, wipers work. When it comes to driving it goes straight down the highway, you can be going 70 mph let go of the steering wheel and it will stay there, you do not have to fight the wheel when driving you can steer with a couple fingers. Apply the brake at 70 mph and it will not jerk you off the road it will make a clean straight stop. Chrome wheels look good and tires are much better than half tread. Rides like a hot rod not a Cadillac. Come take a drive it will surprise you. I have tried to describe the truck as well as possible with out making it look better than it is or worse than what it is. Myself I am a total skeptic and would not buy any USED vehicle with out first taking a look and a test drive, or at least have some one I trust come and inspect the vehicle for me. If you are looking for a driver or want a good start on a show truck this is it. May consider a trade up or down for a GM muscle car 1950 to 1970 ( no trucks ) Cadillac convertible or late model SUV. No motorcycles, 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers, skateboards, or any type of water craft no lawn mowers, snow blowers or bicycles. Send me a message with what you have. Thanks for looking and good luck finding the truck for you.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
