 Thank you for looking at my auction! Up for sale is a well built 1953 Chevrolet 5 Window Pickup. The truck was built by our shop in Marion, Oh called Poor Boys Resto. You can check us out on facebook. We are a local shop who builds hot rods and customs, does full restorations, and Custom race car work. We have an owned an operated Top Sportsman drag racing team, and bring to the table 40 years of combined experience between my father and I. This truck was a project that we built to keep as our own shop truck. Looking to put more money into our car as the season draws mid-way. So the truck is up for Sale As-is. The best components and the utmost attention to detail were mandatory on this vehicle. The details on the build are below. Any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 740-262-3732

Engine- 5.3l Ls, New wires, plugs, wire heat boots, starter, and alternator. Engine and alternator was mounted using Dirty Dingo slider mounts and the Alt only set up. 60,000 MILES!!!

Trans- 4l60E, 30" Lokar Trans mounted shifter. 

Drive TrainNew balanced custom driveshaft with new yoke and U-Joints built by Driveline 1 out of Columbus, OH. 75' Camaro GM 10 bolt 8.5 Rear end, Non-Posi, Drum Brakes.

Chassis- Factory chassis retained. Mustang II front suspension out of a mid 70's mustang. Front big disc brake kit. 11.5" drilled and slotted rotors with GM metric calipers.  Chassis was POR-15 painted. Boxed in the front where the IFS was installed. Brake lines are all stainless steel other than the tough bends and those are the NiCopp line. New chassis mounted power brake booster and master cylinder. Has a MANUAL mustang II rack. New Borgeson joints and stainless steel shaft were used as connections. Jegs 20 circuit wiring harness powers the chassis and inner cab. All lights are functional and new.
Truck Sits where it does because I like to drive things and not avoid railroad tracks or high bumps.  It lays running boards out in the grass and sits about 2" off the ground otherwise. Truck was built for functionality not to be a trailer queen. If that's the route you want to go you can adjust the front bag cups, and i will include a rear step notch kit, made for this frame from Gambino customs bought here on ebay.

Exhaust
- Hooker Block Hugger Headers, 2.25 single Custom built exhaust with a Flowmaster 40 Series muffler.

Air-Ride- The Air-Ride System is 100% RideTech other than the rear bags and mounts. Installed the RideTech front mustang II bag brackets, bags, and shock kit. Has the upgraded kit that comes with a larger rear tank, 2 compressors, and the red billet valve assembly which is mounted behind the seat. The rear set up is Slam Specialties 7" bags for a much nicer ride, paired up with Thor Brothers brackets.

Fuel System- Tanks Inc fuel injection tank. Bought the pump that is capable of handling 600hp. (We were going to run turbos on it.) The fuel System is 100% 6an braided line. Has the Corvette regulator system which is the return/filter/regulator all in one little tube.

InteriorThe dash was painted black with the polished glove box and radio cover. Factory re-covered and Fully re-built seat. All factory trim is in place and functional. It still needs carpeted, gauges, and the door glass put in. *You must purchase glass* Used the truck on nice days so never worried about it. Has a new chrome tilt column, a a new grant steering wheel. The turn signal and hazards are built into the column. Has factory door panels that i have not installed. Truck comes with another set of door that have all door and inner workings in it. You will need DOOR GLASS. All other glass in the truck was replaced with new seals.

Exterior- The truck was painted about 20 years and shows it with the beautiful patina it has. Has some bondo in the lower rear fenders, and front lower front fenders. That tail gate has quite a bit of bondo too. Not because of rust but i think because they were trying to smooth the lines out. The cab was purchased from kansas and has a few dents but ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST. Bought a fulton visor to go along with it. Bed is not finished in the pictures but will be by auction end. Its getting red-oak to enclose the tank and Air-ride. There is absolutely zero room to work with using the factory chassis so instead of raising the bed floor 6-8 inches like an s-10 build i placed the tank near the cab for easy fill-ups and you will still have 4 1/2 foot of whole depth bed to use for parts, chairs, coolers, and etc.. You will have 8 bolts to take out for any air-ride service or fuel system problems. *Keeping it functional* especially for those without a lift.

Wheels- Wheels are Boss 338 18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear. These are wrapped in new Nitto Neo Gen tires. Rears have a nice dish to them and give it that hot rod look.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.

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.
