Up for bidding is a 1955 CHEVROLET 4 DOOR WAGON RATROD GASSER. Car DOES HAVE A S.D. TITLE, vin # VB55062008. If you are looking for a very nice car to fix up or restore keep looking elsewhere as this is not the car for you. If you are looking for a very cool actual real gasser wagon that was from back in the day this is it, all be it has seen many better days. This car was built as a Rat Gasser with no intentions of being a shiny straight show winner. Every panel, door, fender, window etc. has an issue of some sort. Everything on this car is old vintage parts from mostly the 60's and 70's such as the wheels, tach, gauges, headers and so on. The chassis was raised back in the day and has stock spindles welded to stock spindles to lift the front of the car and are mounted to DISC FRONT BRAKES of unknown origin. Stock rear end has been relocated to the bottom of the springs and still retain the drum brakes. This lifts the whole car up approx. 4 inch.  The motor is a 350 4 bolt main that was taken out of a 1985 chevy van that had 87,000 miles on it and the trans is a 700r4 overdrive automatic trans also from said van. Motor fires right up, runs very nice and smooth and is not near as loud as one would think with the short mufflers on the end of the vintage fender well headers. Q-jet carb mounted on stock G.M. aluminum intake manifold, stock H.E.I. distributer, Edelbrock valve covers. The 700r4 shifts real smooth, works well but is stock and does NOT have a shift kit or any mods. B&M shifter is a universal type and shifts and moves smooth and compliments the overdrive trans very nicely. The motor and trans are NOT NEW OR REBUILT just pulled from the van stripped and cleaned externally and installed. Motor is NOT fast by any means but runs great and is very reliable.  Front wheels are 14x5 vintage E.T.s with radials and the rear are 14x9  Hustlers two with vintage Torque Twister bias plys. Floor had been patched with old signs in the past and that what was what was done this time as well. 15 gallon fuel cell resides where the spare tire once sat, not sure what kind it is as it is not marked. Much of the trim is on the car but not all of it is there. Some trim pieces are missing. Again NOTHING about this car is nice and straight but everything about it is very, very cool and nostalgic. Car is located in Rapid City, South Dakota and can be viewed or test driven at any time at exit 55, Deadwood Ave. Reserve price is a paltry $4500.00 for a running, driving, titled vintage gasser wagon.              Where were you on 72?

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We'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.
