1988 Chevy S10 Blazer Rat Rod for sale. The drivetrain consists of a crate 355 motor with approx. 3000 miles on it. It has a high lift cam(not sure of the specs) with dual Holley 450's on an Edelbrock tunnel ram with a Hilborn style scoop. It also has a Pete Jackson noisy gear drive, MSD ignition and high torque starter. It has set of Autometer Procomp. gauges as well. The trans is a T-5 5 speed out of an Iroc Camaro with a new heavy duty clutch/pressure plate/master and slave cylinder and re-surfaced flywheel. It has a brand new custom heavy duty driveshaft that has been shorten to accomodate the T-5 speed. The rear is a GM 10 bolt 4.10 posi with drum brakes. The truck has be lowered 3 in. in back 2 in. in front. It has Billet Specialties wheels with matching billet steering wheel. It has a BeCool radiator with twin electric fans and a Camaro serpentine set-up.

The body/frame have no rust or bondo at all. The pass floorpan has a small hole about the size of a quarter. The truck was stripped/painted last year Ratrod black with metallic silver/purple chrome flames. It has a Phantom grill with a custom fiberglass front dam and rear roll pan. The engine is nicely detailed with chrome and aluminum. The interior is basically stock and is currently out of the truck. The front seats are factory Recaro seats out of a Recaro PMD Trans am. The center console is out of a 1980 Z28 and has been fabricated to fit the 5 speed shifter.

I have over $7500.00 invested in the truck, unfortunately I don't have the funds right now to complete it. It has been sitting inside my father's shop for the last year and I can't see it just sit there anymore. The truck is about 90% completed. I have about 100 pics of the restoration...from start to current condition. The exhaust is just mocked up and will need to be custom bent to clear the trans crossmember. It will need new tires soon. The engine will need to be dailed in as well. I have'nt had a chance to get around to setting the timing and adjusting the carbs. It does run/drive but should be trailered to be on the safe side. Any questions, please call me @312-459-4294. Thanks, Dave

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

GM might outsource vans to AM General

Thu, Nov 26 2015

General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
