Frame Off 1956 Chevy Short Bed Pickup on 2040-cars
Sevierville, Tennessee, United States
Your search for the classic truck of your dreams is over. This beautiful purple 1956 Chevy short bed is just the ticket. I bought it as just a frame, bare cab and front sheet metal so you name it I had to buy it. It is powered by a new GMPP 350 RamJet fuel injected crate motor that pumps out 350 hp and 400 lb ft of torque. It has a polished billet Vintage Air Front Runner system and coated headers that flow into 2.5" stainless steel exhaust with an H pipe & Flowmasters. The engine is backed up by a modified 700R4 overdrive trans with a 2500 converter and a Lokar shifter. The TCI suspension consists of a power Mustang II rack, 4 link with coil overs and a Ford SVO 3.45 posi rear. 4 wheel power disc brakes with an under cab booster and master cylinder handle the stops and it rides on 17" Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Kumho tires. It features a 1994 Sport Side bed and a reverse flip hood. Countless hours were spent getting the body of this outstanding truck just right and the paint is deep and slick.There is one small blemish in the paint above the left front wheel that does not show up in pictures and can't be seen when the truck is on the ground. I will get it fixed before selling the truck. All of the chrome, aqua tinted glass and weather strips were replaced during the restoration. The interior has gray leather power GM buckets and gray tweed Rod Doors panels, The dash houses purple Dakota Digital gauges in a new factory bezel, the controls to the ice cold Vintage Air and a JVC CD player. The sound system is completed with a Kenwood amp and 4 Rockford Fosgate speakers. An IDIDIT tilt column,center console and seat belts round out the interior. The truck was wired with an American Autowire harness that is specific to the truck. It has an under bed 15 gallon aluminum fuel tank with a TPI internal pump, It is kept cool with a custom aluminum radiator with a censor controlled 3000 cfm electric fan.I built the truck to drive so the frame is painted black and it is undercoated. If you're looking for a classic truck don't miss out on this opportunity to own one of the cleanest 56s I've ever seen. Interesting GM trades will be considered and if you have any questions call Brian at 865 908-7731 before 10 PM EST.This truck is listed on other web sites for much more and is for sale locally. I reserve the right to end this listing early. Spring is almost here and it's time to get that new toy you have wanted all winter. *** MAKE ME AN OFFER. THE BOSS SAYS IT NEEDS TO GO***

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
