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.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
