 Up for auction is a fresh build, we started with a late model G.M. frame, L88 350 crate motor, and a TCI Turbo 350 Automatic transmission.

It consists of power steering and power brakes, It has all new hardware, brake lines, power booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valve. The cab is a 1947 International, which has been chopped 4" and painted corvette yellow. It has all new interior from seats, carpet, autometer gauges, removable steering wheel for easy access in and out. It has working tail lights, headlights, and turn signals and intergrated into the front headlights. It has a corvette style steel roll pan with a 11 gallon fuel cell on top. Brand new battery mounted in behind the seats, with a cheetah shifter mounted to the floor. The glass has cracks in the passenger side but I drive it as is. Same with the side windows but I just leave them down for fresh cool air, and so I can hang my arm out the window. It has custom made header mufflers with a edelbrock 650 cfm carb and electric fuel pump. Last but not least has a brand new set of American Racing aluminum wheels with cooper cobra's 295's on back and 235's on the front. Brand NEW. Still has the little rubber tabs. Overall the chassis, engine, trans, driveline, brakes, 100%  paint, body, windows not so much. It has orange peel and minor imperfections in paint, body is NOT perfect. It looks really good but this is still a custom rat rod, not a Autorama winner. I drive it around and it gets lots of attention, also will lay down rubber for a city block with no problems. If you have any questions feel free to call (606) 261-9101 Please no calls after 10 P.M. E.S.T. Also I reserve to end the auction early due to selling locally, But if this auction meets reserve then I will keep it on here. Thanks and happy bidding.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
