Austin, Texas, United States
|
This 1931 Chevy pickup named "THE RUSTY SHERIFF" is chopped a total of 8 inches. It's themed after an old rusty sheriffs truck with a sheriff's badge from 1931 welded right to the front from the western series Hopalong Cassidy. It's built on a 2x3 Square Tube chassis, 13" Z'ed in rear and 7" up front. Front end is a 4" drop tube axle, Chevy spindles, with late 70(caprice, impala) rotors calipers and pads. It has a transverse spring up front for a total of 5" of drop. Steering is traditional style with a 1950 Dodge truck gear box. Motor is a fresh build, bored 30 over with a GM 1182 forged crank X rods and Speedpro forged flat top pistons. Comp Cam 272, 471 lift-very streetable. It has a Wieand high-rise intake with a Eldebrock 650 carb, Accell billet distributor. TH350 Tranny with a shift kit, alto clutches and corvette servo with a 1900 to 2500 stall converter. Rear end is from a 70 El Camino with 308 gears. Truck has a basic alarm with shock sensor for those car shows out of town and your ride has to sit outside in that shady hotel parking lot. Clean title as a 1976 Chevy Vega from the Doner car, where it all began. Black carpet floor, with gorilla style furr over tranny tunnel and on the roof. Seating is a black metal flake custom made bench style seat. Painted black dash with speedometer (cable not installed) below dash are the gauges for the oil pressure/Temp/voltage.... Ignition toggle mounted on dash along with a switch that controls high and low beams, and another switch that controls Taillights and dash lights. Small horn button controls Ahhooga horn mounted under the bed of the truck. Gas tank is a vintage FireStone keg that hold 15.5 gallons. Truck weighs just under 2k pounds with me in it. It doesnt take much for this thing to get after it. Awesome gas mileage too. Bed of the truck has a solid built metal frame structure with a wooden board over that and on top of that are fence pickets cut to size then treated to look like a vintage wooden bed. Gold metal flake steering wheel (detachable for security) and matching gold flaked shift knob. The tallest part of the truck stands 48 inches, Its mean,low,loud and fast. Comfort is sacrificed for style. I have driven this truck hundreds of miles to and from shows with out an issue every time. I trust this truck to drive anywhere. Im 6'0 tall and 215lbs and fit in here just fine. Sit in it like a Go-Kart, drive with both feet and hold on, cause this one books it down the highway. Low maintenance on a truck like this with everything out in the open, fluid changes are a breeze. 15 inch steel wheels wrapped in Coker bias ply wide whites. I went with bias ply tires because i like the nostalgic look of them. but if you have never driven a car with bias plys, it takes some getting use to. (they follow any pattern in the road) Truck has been on the Cover and Featured in the #64 July issue of OL' SKOOL RODZ still on the shelves in some stores. Was used on the tv series HGTV'd to lead the cast to the set of the show in the intro. Was also used in multiple Discover channel Outlaw Garage episodes with Jesse James when he was with Austin Speed Shop. Small write up in RAT ROD MAGAZINE and other local mags. Used in LUCKY 13 BRAND photo shoot, the list goes on. Multiple show winner and complete attention getter.
Please ask any other questions you may have. I love this truck, and a lot of love when into it, its simple yet extreme and feel its tastefully done, built right, and not built with crap from the kitchen and front yard, like so many others out there built to look like trash. Happy bidding. MOST CURRENT PHOTOS HAVE VENT HOLES IN VISOR WITH GOLD STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, JUST MESSAGE ME WITH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE!

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
