Family Emergency forces sale of all of my projects. This is a custom built 1955 chevrolet first generation pickup. The truck has many many options. It sits on a 83 s-10 frame with disc brakes front, drum rear. Frame was blasted and painted black. EVERYTHING on this truck is new except for the basic truck, and even that has alot of new. Starting with the cab, the inner and outer cab corners were replaced, along with both cowls and the lower pillars, all new. Doors were in good shape, but have new seals, along with new smoke glass, handles and locks. Dash gauges are new also. The engine is a 1984 small block chevy removed from a pickup that had only 43,000 miles and has been completely resealed and added a chrome oil pan, chrome overflow recovery tank,valve coveres, chrome hi amp alternator, billet pulleys, hei clear billet distributor, and chrome fuel pump. Also in the engine bay is a custom fitted aluminum racing radiator and an s-blade electric fan. The grill is a used custom fitted 1951 grill. There is also a new gas tank. The bed, even though these trucks came originally with pine beds, has a custom made spruce bed with new metal strips. I have a new front bumper, windshield and smoke rear glass that has yet to be installed. Tires are all new with used keystone classic wheels. New windshield wiper assembly / transmission arms. The wiring harnes is new but not installed yet. The only items off the top of my head remaining to be purchased is a starter, ignition wires, battery, a couple of battery cables, oil and antifreeze, exhaust, and fuel lines and some gas. This truck is almost finished, but family emergency makes it so I cant finish, but almost everything is there including the updated wiring harness with instructions, gray bench seat, front clear glass, rear smoke glass. Not included is a heater, or ac, (since the truck was mainly to drive during good weather only) glove box door, starter, and battery. The truck was painted with eastwoods rat rod satin black, and some small dents / dings were intentionally left in to give the truck a rat rod effect. New digital tail lights, peep mirrors, headlights and buckets, eyebrows, front turn signals, all interior door handles, arm rests / door pulls, headliner, and visors. I have well over 15K invested in this truck not to mention the time so far and hate to see it go, especially before I got to drive it.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
