What we have here is a 1955 Chevy Gasser. This car was chased down as it pulled into Good Guys Columbus car show around 2002ish by my father. After what seemed like forever he finally caught up to the owner just as he was parked and getting out. My father offered to buy the car which wasn't for sale. The man who's car it was had it since he was a kid, around 14 if I remember right. He said it had been a gasser since he had it back in the day. My dad fell in love with the beater old trifive right then and there and would not take no for an answer. He continued jacking up the price until the eyes of the owner lit up and he finally said yes. Upon bringing the car home Pops had a picture in his head of what he remembered as a young man and wanted to turn the car into the picture in his mind.
That winter it was sent to my uncles shop where he did a frame off period Gasser build to my fathers idea and specs. This car started as a 1955 Chevy with an econoline front axle, big block under the hood and a TH350. The big block was built by a local shop (Dave Middleton at Performance Clinic in Beavercreek Ohio) and there is a build sheet showing the work including the solid cam and specs. We were told it was a 396 block out of a 1969 Chevelle as was the 12 bolt rear end and probably the trans as well. The trans that's in it now is a built TH350 with a correct stall, guessing 2500. The old trans was pulled because it leaked and the stall was all wrong for the car. An old race car guy friend of the family put in the current trans and stall from one of his many race cars. Works much better than the old trans (which I then took and built to the hilt and is sitting in a corner in the shop not included with the sale) My uncle did everything right on this car. There is no bondo and all rust was repaired with correct metal panels and expert professional welding. He radiused the rear wheel wells and they are probably the best I've seen on any tri five. The original front drum brakes where replaced with disc on and a booster for safer stopping soon after the build was finished. The car was painted with PPG DP90 flat black primer and has since been lettered, as you see, by famous local artist Shane Syx. Shane is one of the best Ed Roth guys in the country as you can see by the rat fink on the trunk lid. The front is a glass tilt. The trunk is glass "Two Lane Blacktop" style with hood pins. The Faux Hilborn injection was made in New Zealand under the Don Garlits name and was very expensive and took a long time to get. Under that lives a Holley double pumper. Gas is fired by a GM HEI and fumes exit through fender well headers dumping into a giant pair of super loud side pipes. This engine is kept cool with a Be Cool Radiator and dual electric fans. A genuine Moon tank lives up front and is plumed as a vac tank for the brakes. Car rolls on vintage slots with Mickey Thompson Rubber. Pretty sure I have the rear bumper in the shed but don't quote me and I also have the original grille hanging in the shop. Here is a video I made talking about the car.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yisPLm6sBm4 Here is video of my uncle or my dad grandpa-ing it down the track during Geezer Days car show at Kil Kare Raceway in Xenia Ohio. Keep in mind this was just a run it down the track, old school flag man, exibition race. We were not really racing here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYrNkkbsxgQ Looking into the blue tinted windows you will see a nice interior with original dash featuring a rare radio delete plate. Original intention was to use a metal flake wheel but a super cool original wheel was found and used. Factory gauges aren't hooked up but vitals are monitored by a few Auto Meter's where needed. Seats are "race" buckets covered in the same silver metal flake as the tuck and roll door and side panels made by my uncle (2talltr3 is his ebay user name, he makes tri five, hot rod and Triumph seats and interiors, it's very good stuff for a great price, check him out). Front has black carpet and rear is done in aluminum. This car is a massive hit at all the local car shows. It will bring attention by those who know whats cool. It will also scare women and children and send normal people running for their lives. As far as the cops go, here in Ohio they don't bother my old retired dad but I'm sure if I was in it doing burn outs all the time they would bust me. Disclaimer: This is a gasser not a new Volkswagen. It is dangerous and could get an average dumb ass hurt or in trouble with the law. It's not made for taking the family to wally world. Don't let your kid drive it ever. It stops well but doesn't steer the best as anyone who has driven a lifted truck knows. The flaming river box could probably us an adjustment. If you want to piss of your neighbors and have peoples jaw drop as you pull into the gas station this car is for you. We resisted putting a shop logo on the door and the car's name on the quarter. I was thinking silver leaf would look great on the door and my father calls the car "Highly Suspect" It's a blank canvas for you to do what you want. Ideally you would come hand us the money and load the car on your trailer but we can discuss a legitimate payment upon winning auction if you are far away. We are located in Dayton Ohio. If you would like to see the car in person you can call me at 937 six zero three 87 one three. Car is "as is where is" with no warranty or returns. Buyer accepts all responsibility for shipping. A 500 dollar non refundable deposit is required with in 48 hours of auction ending from winning bidder. Only non refundable deposit can be payed via paypal. Will not take full payment through paypal. We will talk legit payment method. Do not bid if you don't have the money. No scammers. |

Chevy bringing Spark RS Concept to SEMA
Thu, Oct 22 2015Well, the SEMA mess has well and truly begun. Every year, an increasing number of automakers flock to the Las Vegas auto show, bringing accessories and concept vehicles that are both awesome as well as occasionally questionable. Chevy will bring an RS concept of the new Spark to SEMA, signaling that its styling package will be applied to the brand's smallest vehicle in the near future. We can expect the usual stuff in a production Spark RS – larger wheels, a slightly sportier cabin, a more aggressive body kit, and a small drop in ride height – but for the concept, Chevy wasn't restrained by things like budget. The front splitter, and sill extensions, foglight surrounds, and rear bumper insert are all finished in carbon fiber. The 17-inch alloys are apparently inspired by the Corvette Z06's Z07 package, while the Dark Liquid Switchblade Silver paint is broken up only by a driver's-side stripe. The company is also using SEMA to show its new Red Line accessories, features both concept and production parts for the Trax, Camaro, Malibu, Colorado, and Sierra. Every vehicle gets Enhanced Silver Metallic paint, a charcoal finish on the roof, satin graphite/red graphics, black/red badge kits, and aside from the Colorado, tinted lamps. Individual mods for the Trax include relatively simple tweaks, including new 18-inch wheels, blacked-out bowtie badges, a lowered ride height, and custom badging. It's a similar story on the Malibu, except that its 19-inch wheels are a smidge larger, and its lowered ride height is the result of a concept kit. The first concept based on the new Camaro opts for 20-inch wheels, while adding a few more performance items. The ride height has been lowered, there's a new air intake system, and an upgraded brake package. Chevy has also replaced the front upper and lower grilles inserts with red accents. On the pickup side of the coin, the Colorado gets 18-inch wheels, new intake and exhaust systems, Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude tires, and flared wheelarches. The Silverado gets similar intake and exhaust upgrades, as well as the largest wheels of them all, with 22s at all four corners. The full-size truck also gets a Brembo brake package, while every vehicle, aside from the Camaro, gets Thule roof-mounted accessories. You can check out all six concepts in the gallery above, and then be sure to keep an eye open for live images from the floor of the 2015 SEMA show, slated to open next month.
President Obama will be on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
Tue, Dec 22 2015The seventh season of Jerry Seinfeld's excellent Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee will debut on Wednesday, December 30, and if this first trailer is any indication, the guest lineup is damn impressive. But rather than building up to one big guest over the course of the season, the show is starting with one of the biggest guests possible – the president of the United States. President Barack Obama will join Seinfeld behind the wheel of what looks like a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for a trip around the South Lawn of the White House. According to CBS, the pair will enjoy their coffee in the staff dining room, which is probably a better idea than crippling Washington, D.C., with a Stingray-led motorcade. Aside from the president, Seinfeld has recruited a couple comedy icons, including first-timers Will Ferrell and Steve Martin. Also appearing are Garry Shandling, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Kathleen Madigan. The four-wheeled stars will include the Corvette, a Plymouth Superbird, a Chevy Camaro, a classic Porsche 911, a BMW 2002, and what we think is a (rather troublesome) 1952 Siata 208 8V Coupe Balbo. You can check out the entire trailer up at the top of the page.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip
Wed, Jan 21 2015There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.
