55 Chevy Nomad Survivor (one Of The Best If Not The Best) on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
One of the best if not the best (Survivor) available. Completely orginal. runs and drives great. Excelent interior. The Nomad moldings are some of the best with little or no pitting or cracks. One spot of rust in front of left rear wheel as in pic. Very minute surface rust in various places. A small crease in rear fender. This car was stored in norhtern Idaho for the last 30-40 yrs in a very controled area. I could go on and on about all the correct items on this car such as the door weatherstrip still sporting the correct canvas cover. The spiral shocks. the orginal fuel pump. the exhaust header pipe still having the shields on it. the tail gate fits excellent. The glass is all excellent. The headliner and all the linoleum is excelent. the chrome is all excellent. I drained the gas tank and used por 15 then rebuilt the original carb and fuel pump changed the oil and the car runs and sounds great. It does have the power steering option and that is it I have been a Nomad lover for several years and have owned my 56 since 1963 and when I found this car I could not pass it up. But am getting older and this car should go someone that likes orginality. Please feel free to call Doug 509-979-3344 for an honest description of the car and any thing to do with it. I have not done any unnecessary work on this car. Hoping to preserve the original pateena for the new owner and they can decide for themselves if they want to change or modify any parts of the car. Again a 55 Nomad to use as a Benchmark for restoration of the famous body style. Also the front seat must have had a crack or ? there has been a small white insert in the center. I realize that would have to be changed to be 100% correct. the waffle is correct but almost 60yrs old

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
