Grand Island, Nebraska, United States
|
1946 Chevrolet hot rod /rat rod pickup with a clear Nebraska 1946 Chevrolet 1/2 ton title. This is a fresh build with no expense spared. This truck was built on a new 2X3 tubing frame with a new Speedway 4-link rear suspension with coil overs and a Speedway drop axle front end with hair pin radius rods. The brakes are all new and rebuilt. The front are new Speedway disc setup. The rear are stock 9-inch drums that have new wheel cylinders, new shoes, and all new hardware. It has a new master cylinder from Speedway with residual pressure valves on both front and rear with a proportioning valve and all new hard lines and new rubber lines so it stops on a dime. The tires are new Coker Classic 3 inch www. The engine is a 350 four bolt main block that has been gone thru, with a slightly larger cam for that hot rod sound and topped off with an aluminum intake, a new Edelbrock carb with electric choke, and an HEI distributor to make it a maintenance free daily driver. The transmission is a turbo 350 that has been gone thru and resealed so it shifts great. The rear axle is a GM 10 bolt out of a 79 trans am with 2.56 gears - it will cruise down the highway no problem. It has new oil and was cleaned up, all brackets were removed and the new 4 link brackets were installed then it was finished in a black ceramic frame paint. The cab of the truck was chopped 3 inches, but was not channeled so the stock leg room was left intact. The roof of the truck was painted with a silver base then the gold lace and designs were applied along with the silver flake in the center panel. It received 4 coats of House of Colors Kandy Tangerine then two coats of orange pearl before the clear was applied. The bed is from a early 50s International pickup that was shortened and topped with a very nice cover wrapped in marine grade vinyl that will withstand the elements. The fuel tank is hidden under a hinged door and the ammo can in the bed holds the battery and a fuse panel. The taillights are 59 caddy the headlights are new from speedway. We retained enough of the original bed for that cooler so you can still bring your cold beer to those car shows. The radiator is a new BE Cool unit wrapped in an original model A shell. The interior is painted a tan color with a new fabricated bench seat, all new gauges, and a new B and M shifter. This is a very neat old truck that has only been shown once with very good reception from young and old alike. I'm sure I have forgotten a lot. if you have any Questions feel free to call me - Luke 3082580715. This vehicle is for sale localy and can be removed at any time befor it hits the reserve after that we will let the auction finish. Thank you for looking bid with confidence your getting a great running and driving truck.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
