Up for auction is a very well built custom 1939 Chevrolet Rat Rod. It is very reliable and runs great. I take my 3 year old son out in it and we have a great time going to car shows and showing up rides that cost tens of thousands more. Here is the run down.
the motor
It has a clean great running 307 v8 Chevrolet motor. I don't know how many miles are on the motor but the oil is clean and does not smoke or leak. the motor starts and runs great hot or cold. Tons of power for a very lite truck. Holly carb and a Weiand intake. fined valve covers and a classic louvered air filter give it a great look. the headers have baffles in them but don't let that fool you it is loud. It is kept cool with a very nice aluminum champion radiator.
the transmission
It is a turbo 350 Chevrolet transmission. I just serviced it and it is clean and shifts great. It is hooked up to a B&M ratcheting shifter that works perfect. It takes a little to get used to but after you do it is the only way to go on a vintage ride.
the frame
It is all stock in the front with the rear half grafted from a chevy s10 truck. drum brakes front and rear. manual brakes on a under floor reverse mounted master cylinder. aftermarket proporting valve The master cylinder leaks a tiny bit but stops the more you drive it. the steering column is stock so is the steering box. Everything is tight and rides good for a 70 year old technology. This truck was frame off rebuilt, the frame is clean and painted black. The bed is nice with new wood. The custom gas tank is professionally custom pinstriped. it does not have a gauge but It has a stick that works just fine to dip and check! tires are like new 14 inch bias ply real wide white walls. no fake crap here. and no flat spots.
the body
This rat rod sits in rudy red primer. I guarantee that it HAS rust and dents or your money back! That being said it is really solid. If you wanted to doll it up with a nice paint job it would be easy to restore if needed. The grill is a fiberglass 32 ford I do believe. The spade could be easily removed if you so desire there is a grill behind it. The seat is leather and folds down for storage. the battery sits in a under floor compartment. The wiring is all new and in perfect working order. turn signals horn and headlights all work. this is a safe truck. it has a lot of room even though it has about 6 inches of channel on the body. I would recommend it to anybody any size. lots of room especially for an old truck. the cowl vent works in front. the windshield is a custom glue in and does not flip out. The electric wiper works great.. All doors and handles work well. I am waiting on a driver side handle in the mail but it will be on the truck when it is picked up or shipped. I also have the window cranks on order and will be on when shipped. all windows roll up and down great on new felt seals. The title has a brand that reads "rebuilt reconstructed" due to the fact that it has a Oregon assigned VIN number and it was built using a mix of parts. It is very insurable with Hagerty insurance, and is easy to register.
The bottom line is that this is a turn key reliable well crafted attention getting truck. I welcome anyone that wants to bid on it to call me and I can give all details. I have more pics to post and I have some videos on youtube. I have a great track record on eBay and make every attempt to represent the vehicle for what it is. No glamour shots here or weird angles that hide things. My name is Norm you can reach me at 503-999-0817. I guarantee you will love driving this awesome rat rod. Good lock bidding.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
