Up for auction is a very well built custom 1939 Chevrolet Rat Rod. It is very reliable and runs great. I take my 3 year old son out in it and we have a great time going to car shows and showing up rides that cost tens of thousands more. Here is the run down.
the motor
It has a clean great running 307 v8 Chevrolet motor. I don't know how many miles are on the motor but the oil is clean and does not smoke or leak. the motor starts and runs great hot or cold. Tons of power for a very lite truck. Holly carb and a Weiand intake. fined valve covers and a classic louvered air filter give it a great look. the headers have baffles in them but don't let that fool you it is loud. It is kept cool with a very nice aluminum champion radiator.
the transmission
It is a turbo 350 Chevrolet transmission. I just serviced it and it is clean and shifts great. It is hooked up to a B&M ratcheting shifter that works perfect. It takes a little to get used to but after you do it is the only way to go on a vintage ride.
the frame
It is all stock in the front with the rear half grafted from a chevy s10 truck. drum brakes front and rear. manual brakes on a under floor reverse mounted master cylinder. aftermarket proporting valve The master cylinder leaks a tiny bit but stops the more you drive it. the steering column is stock so is the steering box. Everything is tight and rides good for a 70 year old technology. This truck was frame off rebuilt, the frame is clean and painted black. The bed is nice with new wood. The custom gas tank is professionally custom pinstriped. it does not have a gauge but It has a stick that works just fine to dip and check! tires are like new 14 inch bias ply real wide white walls. no fake crap here. and no flat spots.
the body
This rat rod sits in rudy red primer. I guarantee that it HAS rust and dents or your money back! That being said it is really solid. If you wanted to doll it up with a nice paint job it would be easy to restore if needed. The grill is a fiberglass 32 ford I do believe. The spade could be easily removed if you so desire there is a grill behind it. The seat is leather and folds down for storage. the battery sits in a under floor compartment. The wiring is all new and in perfect working order. turn signals horn and headlights all work. this is a safe truck. it has a lot of room even though it has about 6 inches of channel on the body. I would recommend it to anybody any size. lots of room especially for an old truck. the cowl vent works in front. the windshield is a custom glue in and does not flip out. The electric wiper works great.. All doors and handles work well. I am waiting on a driver side handle in the mail but it will be on the truck when it is picked up or shipped. I also have the window cranks on order and will be on when shipped. all windows roll up and down great on new felt seals. The title has a brand that reads "rebuilt reconstructed" due to the fact that it has a Oregon assigned VIN number and it was built using a mix of parts. It is very insurable with Hagerty insurance, and is easy to register.
The bottom line is that this is a turn key reliable well crafted attention getting truck. I welcome anyone that wants to bid on it to call me and I can give all details. I have more pics to post and I have some videos on youtube. I have a great track record on eBay and make every attempt to represent the vehicle for what it is. No glamour shots here or weird angles that hide things. My name is Norm you can reach me at 503-999-0817. I guarantee you will love driving this awesome rat rod. Good lock bidding.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
