Before the description a brief history lesson. I have had a lot cars over the years,mainly V8 Fords, and thought it would be nice to try something different. A nice funky 50's pickup eather Ford or Chevy. Not a show car but a driver and not to expensive. I found the truck locally owned by a women for the last 15-20 years and only driven occassionally. While it looks like a 53 it is really a miss-mosh of 53 and 55. The cab is 55 and the rest,front sheet metal and rear bed and fenders, are 53. But I like the look of a 53 over a 55 and bought it. The issue is the truck is bigger in overall size then I really wanted, takes up my whole garage and have not been happy with my purchase since day one. So I want to move on to something else. Because of it's makeup this is not a truck to restore. Streetrod ( how sinfull but ok in this case) or leave alone as a funky old truck to drive around. I always get the thumbs up espically from the women who seem to like old trucks and at my age that includes the older women. Enough rambling with the past now for the description

Like I stated the truck is a mixture of parts But is a nice looking vehicle. Blue paint was done many years ago and has held up well. You can see a few spots where old body work was done but no holes you can look through. There is one spot where the paint is lifting and you might want to touch up but I have left alone. Truck looks nice in a walk around. Interior was done over and in a roll and pleat. 235 6 which starts right and idles like an old Caddy.No smoke and runs strong with good oil pressure. 3 speed tramsmission with Hurst floor shifter and open drive rear end.New front wheel bearings and seals.Wheel cylinders,drums and linings are in great shape and stops beautifully. I put in new wiring and all lights and directionls and horn work. New Halagon headlamps. New radiator, hoses, belts, fluids, 6volt battery and cables. With it's low rear,4/11??, it pulls strong off the line. There was an old non original radio which is removed and I have not replaced. Wipers work fine with new blades. Frame and underneath while old is in fine shape with no rust out.

I have done some work on the truck but have decided that I do not want to put any more money into this project. I just don't love it enough. I drive around on the present tires but they should be promptly replaced. Drivers door latch should be replaced and I cracked the drivers door glass because I was to lazy to fix the lock and kept slamming the door.Gas gauge and speedo need fixing.Steering should be looked at but I can drive it easily with no shimmy. Probably want seat belts. Have fun and sort things out as you go.

Truck is registured as a 1955 and id plate matches registration. Current NYS plates and inspection. Sold with New York State transferable registration and bill of sale. No titles in NY befor 1974. Visits and rides are welcome and I can do a Skype walk around. Ask questions and prefer phone calls over emails. Have I left anything out? Bill

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

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.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
