1956 Chevrolet 3200 Pickup Rat Rod Built in the Traditional-Style, She sits low with just the right stance, and drives excellent. Best of all, no airbags or switches to deal with. The truck is a 1956 Chevrolet 3200 long box. Most of the trucks you see are the shorter 3100's making this one pretty unique. It sat on a farm for almost 30 years before being rescued and brought back to life. Its been completely redone mechanically, but still wears the original patina acquired during its life on the farm. Built over a 1976 Chevrolet 2wd Suburban frame and running gear, it is the best combination of modern drive-line and classic patina! This Truck was Featured (Centerfold) in the very First Issue of Rat Rod Magazine May 2010
Here are some details of the build: The Frame was shortened 2' to fit the wheel wells of the 1956 body. It was then narrowed 6" in the front. The front suspension consists of 3" Drop Spindles, 2" Drop Coils, custom upper A arms, new shocks Power Steering with the tried and true Mustang II Rack and Pinion Freshly Rebuilt 454 Big Block The engine breathes through a new Holley 650, over the rail race headers, and straight 4" exhaust (4" exhaust/headers were recently updated and can be seen in the later photos) Turbo 400 Transmission with B&M Shift kit, and floor shifter 4 core radiator cooled by dual Flex Lite Electric Fans New Power brakes on all four corners w/ rebuilt master and power booster 12 Bolt rear end with 3:73 gears and spooled The back of the truck was lowered with new rear leafs, axle over the springs, and new shocks The entire firewall, cab floor, and bed floor was painstakingly custom fabricated out of steel diamond plate The interior was left to its original patina (in true rat rod fashion) Original Seat (looks uncomfortable, but it isn't) Original dash with a few upgrades: Tach and GPS. Original speedo works (off by about 15mph) Tilt steering column, wooden moto-lita steering wheel All the glass is original to the cab, and fits the Rat Rod look Rims are raw steel smoothies 15x6 front 15x7 rear. 205-75/15 wide white walls in the front, 235-75/15 wide white walls in the rear (currently sitting on vintage Goodyear GT tires in the rear, both sets included in the sale) She is a blast to drive, and was built right. The 454 moves her like a rocket down the road, and can smoke both rears for days. You can cruise down the highway at 60mph with two fingers on the wheel, thanks to the power steering. The power brakes stop this beast like a modern day ride. The build was completed in 2008 (exhaust was updated in 2013) Passed the NSRA strict Vehicle Safety Certification Inspection in 2010 The Truck has a clear Minnesota Title and is titled on the 1976 Chevy Chassis vin #CCS166Fl37768

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
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?

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
