In 1967 Ruth Sampson ordered her baby through her nephew Larry Cox from Reedman Motors, in Langhorne, Pa. Ruth ordered a 1967 Chevelle 300 Deluxe, Radio Delete, 283 3 Speed on the column, AC. Blue, Blue interior. Ruth was a school teacher who drove a international scout, and decided she would treat herself to a nice little car with some pep and ac, and only drive her in nice weather, and it shows. The car today maintains its original body panels, original interior, 3 original of its 4 T-3 headlights, original headliner, and glass, its original bumpers, lenses, chrome trim, emblems. The car is a impeccable time piece as an original survivor......Now with that being said and Ruth Sampson a single mother and a only son now at the age of 24 at the time, this beautiful car takes a little wild turn......yup we all did it. The good and the bad of the car will vary for all of us; Phillip Sampson at 24 years of age aquired moms car and with help of his uncle and drag racing on his mind find a race shop in Berwyn, PA. to do a conversion on the car that entailed a 12 bolt rear end, Muncie 4-Speed, and a L-88, all purchased at English Town New Jersey. This journey led them to Jenkins Competion in Berwyn PA. The parts were installed with additional items that were needed to complete Phillips car. The only suspension work that was done were a pair of traction bars and away he went. The monster was built, Phillip got his wish and the car was not pleasant to drive on the street. So with a lot of hours and money spent, the car was now not streetable due to its open exhaust and gearing, so off too street racing and the track they went. The car had its fun making some money, and losing some on the streets of Philly, NJ, NYC. The car did well at the tri-state tracks, and in 1979 went into the warehouse on blocks where it sat till 1995. In 1995 the car was registered for one year and off the road it went again. Ruth Sampson had passed in 1998, and Phillip passed in 2011. Through an estate and one year of paperwork I acquired the car. Lets get something straight before I continue, this is not a car that Mr. Bill Jenkins ever owned, raced, built for himself and then sold to Bill Clinton in Arkansas. Its a shop that performed worked as they did and were paid for there services. Today the car still sits in its original everything, as stated above. Below is a list of items that I installed since receiving the car. I have the original Protecto-plate, Warranty Book, Jenkin Competition material. I have the original L-88 that came in the car and is complete, minus the Ansen valve covers that are on new motor. New 519 CU Big Block, Roller Comp Cam with Merlin aluminum heads, Dominator, Headers, Ansen Valve Covers. 756HP on the stand. The transmission was rebuilt and shifts great and a Scatter shield installed. The 12 bolt was rebuilt with new gears 3:83, and positraction center unit. The motor is cabled down to the mounts as it was when received. New radiator large single core, switched dual spawn fans, 160 thermostat. MSD Ignition, Coil 1/2" Custom aluminum fuel line, insulated. New Fuel Tank and sending unit, gauge works at dashboard Electric Fuel Pump and filter put in same location as original. New wiring, pump on ingnition with toggle switch as original. New Tach was installed as the Stewart Warner that it came with did not work. Front Disc Brakes were replaced, along with the master cylinder, lines etc. I replaced the old cool can with a new Moroso Can. I installed the Hotchkis suspension kit and sway bar. New shocks and springs. Front rally wheels with 1967 disc brake caps, wrapped with Firestone wide-oval 70-15. I have original Cragers for front. Rear Mickey Thompson Drag radials on 15 x 8 steel wheel. The lettering on the car I purchased in PA at a swap meet, they are vinyl. The car is a blast too drive and is scary fast, it is set up as they did back in the day and draws more attention at shows. The workmanship and detail is what makes this car something special and quite different. If you look at the hood it is raised on its hinges too allow heat to disperse like a cowl hood. The car runs at 195 and no heating issues, and will run on 93 octane, it wakes up with 104. It is truly a great piece for any collection or somebody who just raced back in the day who wants something special and original to its time. Thanks for looking. |

Chevy Silverado WT gets its own murdered-out trim pack
Fri, Feb 20 2015Media days for the 2015 Chicago Auto Show ended last week, but that hasn't stopped Chevrolet from adding just one more thing. The Bowtie brand showed off three new trim packages for its trucks in the Windy City – the Colorado GearOn and the Silverado Midnight and Custom – but protests from consumers over the price of these equipment packs has led the company to release a new trim group for its most affordable fullsizer, the Silverado WT. The $1,595 Black Out pack will be available on both the regular- and double-cab Silverado WT and offers a few simple, stylistic upgrades. Five-spoke, 20-inch black wheels are the headlining item, although Chevy will also include "deep tinted glass" and black bowtie badges both fore and aft. Available only in black (the company even paraphrases old Mr. Ford in its press release), the new package adds just enough to class up the otherwise dreary looking Work Truck. Chevy has only released one image for the time being, available up top. Dealers, meanwhile, are currently taking orders. Check below for the brief press release. Chevrolet Silverado Work Trucks Get Blacked Out DETROIT – Chevrolet is adding a $1,595 Black Out package for regular- and double-cab 2015 Silverado 1500 WT models. It includes 20" black painted aluminum wheels, P275/55R20 all-season blackwall tires, deep tinted glass and black bowties. Prices start at $28,895. The package is available for order now, and customers can have any color they want, as long as it is black. Editors' Note: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price excludes tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. Includes dealer freight charges and option package discounts. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 140 countries and selling more than 4.8 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature engaging performance, design that makes the heart beat, passive & active safety features and easy-to-use technology, all at a value.

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting
Mon, Aug 20 2018With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV.
