1953 Chevy truck.  Has '54 grille and fenders.  Truck has subframe and rear end from a 90 Silverado.  Power Steering, Disc Brakes, Independent front Suspension.  Rear section of frame has been cut and channeled to lower the truck even more than it is. Needs brake lines connected to master cylinder.  E-brake cables are strapped to the frame.   Body is in good shape.  Has new cab corners and welded patch panels in the usual places.  Paint is ok but not great.  Its decent for a driver and can be color sanded and buffed to look better.  All new glass , fuzzies, vent seals, and rubbers.  One of the windshield glasses has a crack.  All door and rear glass is factory tinted.  Bed floor is a sheet of diamond plate aluminum.  New chrome front and rear bumpers, New gas tank and sending unit.  Gas tank is installed loosely because it needs a valve and fuel line.  Seat frame is included, but I do not have the cushions.  Floor and underbody is sprayed with truck bedliner.  I dont know if the engine is good.  I was tols the engine and trans are good when I bought them but have never tried to fire it up.  I can see it has a new flywheel and timing gears.  The engine sat outside my shop for over a month and may have caught some rain water.  I have the engine harness and the under dash harness is hooked to the steering column and the rest is tucked under the dash for future wiring.  Lights still need to be wired.  Other new parts include: new door handles, marker lights, mirror assembly, headlight bezels, tailgate chains, headliner, door panels, kick panels.  The wheels and tires are included, but they are very close to the body and need to be a little smaller in size.  I have a low reserve set on this truck.  I know its not done, but almost all of the hard stuff is done.  Feel free to shoot me your best offer.  I will glady change the auction and add a Buy Now if the price is right.  Email me your contact info if you have any questions and I will call you asap.  Good Luck bidding!

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
