This Exotic Tridon Pickup Truck is for individuals that want to be the only one that has anything like it! It commands attention EVERY where you go. I do mean this. You cannot go anywhere without someone wanting to ask you about it, look it over, etc. Russell Knudson, of Knudson Automotives and Rage Vehicles in Omaha, Nebraska designed and hand molded this truck. This is not a cheap kit, anywhere I take it, auto body professionals are impressed with the quality of the hand molded distinctive features of the Triton. I have a certificate of authenticity signed by Russel Knudson and a plack that goes with the truck. He only made 4 or 5 pickup trucks in his lineup of exotic vehicles, each one having it's own unique characteristics. On speaking with Russell, he told me that one was wrecked in Texas and that mine was the only one that he knew the current location of. He told me that he could never make another one just like it because when he relocated into another building the mold broke. You can read more about his Exotic vehicles online, look up The History of Rage Vehicles, you will see a picture of this truck in the background when he first designed the Tridon. He started by putting a kicker cap on it (as pictured) and decided to leave it off and put the spoiler around the bed instead. The white truck pictured at History of Rage is THIS exact truck before the spoiler system was added. He only made one white truck. After we told him we had it, he came to Kentucky to see it again, bringing the certificate of authenticity with him and hand delivered it.
First, how does it run? Excellent, transmission shifts good. Drives great, rides VERY comfortably. Only has 46,274 miles on it. All lights, air, cruise, work great. Interior is beautiful two tone blue cloth specially done. Has rear bench seat. Passenger seat folds up for easy access to back seat. Every owner has tried to keep this as original as possible. Headliner is starting to separate, and foam in driver's seat edge is just beginning to break down but the fabric is still in excellent condition. Local shop said $75.00 to do seat, and $150.00 to do headliner.
Exterior is White, very shiney, looks great but does have some imperfections. Scratch but no dents or cracks. This is a 1990 model which will have some flaws. It has 24" WIDE rear tires, NOT a dually. Special hand molded exterior molds, special hand molded hood, fender, fender skirts, spoiler. Company logo on front grill. The back of the tail gate originally had a large Tridon sticker which had been removed by a previous owner. Russell Knudson has given permission to have another one made if I wanted one. This truck is SUPER NICE and I cannot stress too much how this turns heads everywhere we go. If you have any questions please call me, Mitch, at 859-329-1167. If I do not answer, please leave a message and I WILL call you back.

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.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
