You are bidding on the best truck I have had it is a 1947 Chevy 3100 Thriftmaster with NO RUST in cab floors. Perfect sun baked paint. If you know these trucks you know most all of them have rusty floors. I purchased this truck to do a rat rod truck and have come to realize I dont have the time or space for it now. So I have decided to sell it. I will be kicking myself once it is sold. The 47 thriftmaster are rare in the fact the tank is out under the box from the factory. I was told they actually used a 1946 chevy frame on the 1947 chevy trucks. The truck is from mid west and has very dry sheet metal. There is rust in the bed from past owner leaving brush in the back of it,a couple very small spots on a fender and on drivers front edge of door,and inside by seam of rear window. All these spots I intended to leave and just put new boards in the box. The dents on the fenders on passengers side would most like be able to be worked out.  It is a complete truck. Truck has not ran in 25 plus yard. It looks to have fairly fresh oil in it when I pulled the dip stick. Motor is stuck but would probably not take much to get it running. It will need towed and it doesnt run/roll very good. Clear title. It has the perfect patina to be one of those trucks at a show everyone talks about. Any questions feel free to ask. I can help arrange shipping anywhere in cont US. TX 650,CA800,FL800,etc will need exact zip code to get an accurate quote.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
