Up for bidding is a 1955 CHEVROLET 4 DOOR WAGON RATROD GASSER. Car DOES HAVE A S.D. TITLE, vin # VB55062008. If you are looking for a very nice car to fix up or restore keep looking elsewhere as this is not the car for you. If you are looking for a very cool actual real gasser wagon that was from back in the day this is it, all be it has seen many better days. This car was built as a Rat Gasser with no intentions of being a shiny straight show winner. Every panel, door, fender, window etc. has an issue of some sort. Everything on this car is old vintage parts from mostly the 60's and 70's such as the wheels, tach, gauges, headers and so on. The chassis was raised back in the day and has stock spindles welded to stock spindles to lift the front of the car and are mounted to DISC FRONT BRAKES of unknown origin. Stock rear end has been relocated to the bottom of the springs and still retain the drum brakes. This lifts the whole car up approx. 4 inch. The motor is a 350 4 bolt main that was taken out of a 1985 chevy van that had 87,000 miles on it and the trans is a 700r4 overdrive automatic trans also from said van. Motor fires right up, runs very nice and smooth and is not near as loud as one would think with the short mufflers on the end of the vintage fender well headers. Q-jet carb mounted on stock G.M. aluminum intake manifold, stock H.E.I. distributer, Edelbrock valve covers. The 700r4 shifts real smooth, works well but is stock and does NOT have a shift kit or any mods. B&M shifter is a universal type and shifts and moves smooth and compliments the overdrive trans very nicely. The motor and trans are NOT NEW OR REBUILT just pulled from the van stripped and cleaned externally and installed. Motor is NOT fast by any means but runs great and is very reliable. Front wheels are 14x5 vintage E.T.s with radials and the rear are 14x9 Hustlers two with vintage Torque Twister bias plys. Floor had been patched with old signs in the past and that what was what was done this time as well. 15 gallon fuel cell resides where the spare tire once sat, not sure what kind it is as it is not marked. Much of the trim is on the car but not all of it is there. Some trim pieces are missing. Again NOTHING about this car is nice and straight but everything about it is very, very cool and nostalgic. Car is located in Rapid City, South Dakota and can be viewed or test driven at any time at exit 55, Deadwood Ave. Reserve price is a paltry $4500.00 for a running, driving, titled vintage gasser wagon. Where were you on 72?

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
