Spring is almost here and it's time to get ready for the car shows and cruises. This beautiful custom 1956 Chevy truck is just what you need. It was purchased as a bare frame with the TCI suspension partially installed, the cab and front sheet metal. A complete frame off every nut, bolt and part new restoration was done. The truck features a reverse flip hood and a 1994 Sport Side bed. The suspension consists of a TCI Mustang II style Power Rack & Pinion and 4 link with chrome coil overs in the rear supporting a Mustang SVO rear with 3.45 posi. It rides on Billet Specialties GTX03 17" wheels wrapped in Kumho ties and stops on a dime thanks to the 4 wheel power disc brakes. Power is supplied by a GMPP 350 Ram Jet fuel injected crate engine with a polished Vintage Air Front Runner set up. It is factory rated at 350 hp and 400 lb ft of torque. The exhaust flows through ceramic coated headers to 2 1/2" stainless steel pipes with an H pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. The engine is backed up by a modified 700R4 with a 2500 converter and Lokar shifter. The interior consists of gray leather power GM buckets and tweed Rod Doors panels. The dash houses purple Dakota Digital gauges the controls to the ICE COLD Vintage Air unit and a Clairion stereo with CD. A Kenwood amp & Rockford Fosgate speakers complete the sound system. The interior also has an Ididit tilt column with a classic Grant wheel, center console and 3 way seat belts. Other upgrades include an aluminum radiator with a 3000 cfm sensor controlled electric fan, 15 gallon aluminum gas tank with an internal fuel pump mounted under the bed and an American Auto Wire Harness made specifically for the truck. Everything on this truck from the glass to the door mechanisms to the weatherstripping was all purchased new.My limited photography skills do not do this award winning truck justice. It is pictured on page 64 of the December 2011 issue of Classic Trucks. I reserve the right to end this listing at any time due to local listings.Interesting trades will be considered. Make me an offer, you never know. Any questions please call Brian at 865 908-7731 before 10 pm EST. Thanks for looking

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
