UP for sale is one 1955 Chevy Pickup Big window originally from Australia
Don't know if it's the right time to sell now but I give it a try, if it sells let it be so if not I just keep it another couple years..... Here is the Story about the car. I bought it maybe 10 years ago at Hot August night in Reno Nevada from a guy from AU name Juice who had built it and shipped it over and spend a month vacation driving it around in CA while trying to sell it to fund his vacation and his next project, went to Pomona and Pleasenton car show and Hot August night. At the time it had a blown 671 compressor and a Harley Davidson motorcycle on the bed which was also blown and had the same paint schema with blue flames and skulls over the bike. The Blower was removed and the bike was sold and I bought the car as you see it here. I been driving it and had fun with it all this time but I think it's time to part from it due to having to many cars and toys. It sits on a GM chassis from a Holden car which is same as our Camaro here in the states, so all the part are inter changeable. The body has been dropped over the chassis and you got individual suspension in the front with power breaks and power steering and disk breaks and leafs in the rear everything is painted light grey. It also has air bags to make it sit real low. It's back with blue/red flames and pinstriped. the interior has a Cadillac steering column and wheel and blue bucket sets and the flames schema goes through the carpet and door panels and the roof. I have the car insured for 37500 which I think the car is worth in the ball park and what it would cost you to build one but I am selling it for much less. It's a nice driver and it get lots of attention for it's looks and flames and most of all right hand drive. Just need a new home and owner. The run down: Chopped Blue Flames Tinted windows Bucket seats Cadillac Steering wheel and column Stick shift Air bags all 4 corners Power breaks Power steering 350/350 Electric fan Electric fuel pump Battery in the rear Sway bars front and rear Got hitch in the rear Gaylord Trunk Lid Aluminum Bed Nice Chrome Chrome steel rims Chassis all painted grey Custom fit Blue California Car cover chopped from factory to fit just this truck |

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
