1952 Chevrolet Short Bed Step Side Truck Restored Street Rod on 2040-cars
Ramona, California, United States
|
This is a great little short bed pickup. It is very reliable, quick, and fun to drive. I have owned it over ten years and just kept improving it over the years. The color is a BMW Boston Poly metallic green. A list of the improvements is as follows: · The front suspension is a Mustang II installed by A1 Engineering and is fully rebuilt with new bushings and ball joints · Power rack and pinion steering · Huge sway bars front and back · Front disc brakes · Engine is a 350 Chevy with Vortec heads and an Erson cam. New HEI distributor and wires. · Desert Cooler radiator · The truck was completely rewired and a fuse box installed. · Halogen headlights. · New Battery · Transmission is a Turbo 400 · The rear end is a Ford 9 Inch · The chrome is excellent except for the front grille which is starting to show age. · Wheels are American Racing · The gauges are Stewart Warner and all work, as do the lights, turn signals; etc.. · New glass and window rubber. · The Oak bed was refinished at one time but needs refinished. The underside of the bed is perfect, so you may be able to just flip the boards over. · Airbrushed smoothie tailgate with Chevy emblem. · Custom rear lower light panel for the rear lights. · California truck · The truck was disassembled and stripped to the bare metal, painted, and reassembled. I have several restoration photos and have included a few. It does need a few things maintained or finished, such as, the power rack and pinion weeps a little and the truck does not have a radio or a wiper motor. The clear coat on the paint is peeling on some panels. It was under a tarp and the heat affected some paint, like the hood and the top where the tarp rested on it. Great truck! |

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can 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
