Tired of the same old type Rad Rat, not roadworthy, with small block chevy! I have it here:

A 1948 Diamond-T old school rod, powered by a 268 cu. in. straight 8 w/ a 3 speed transmission. Fabricated by myself. Uncut stock height 48 Diamond-T cab channeled over custom built 2x3 steel frame 1.20 wall,  4" kick front and a 14 kick rear. Front sup. 5" dropped axle w/ ford spindles and GM disc brakes, dual master cyl. w/ power booster, new steering gear and drag links, S-10 chevy rear axle and springs. Aluminum wheel adapters for the ford wired wheels, w/ firestone tires, rib front, knobby rear, wheel adapters have chev. and ford bolt pattern. So you have a choice to run different wheels and tires.

Pontiac straight 8 engine, complete rebuild, cyls. .030 over, block line board, head resurfaced, new pistons and pins, rods resized, new pin bushings, crank turned .10-10. New S/S valves, new springs, harden valve seats. Cam reground by isky w/ longer duration for a great lopy sound. New water pump, oil pump, flywheel resurfaced, new clutch disc, throw out bearing and rebuilt pressure plate. Stock 3 speed trans., with custom shifter.

NOS. Mallory dual point dist. Starter and Alt. new 12v. Aluminum radiator with electric fan.  I built the log manifold with dual NOS Holley side draft carbs., that were used on Sherman tanks. I built the headers with 2 collectors 4 into 1 with dual flame throwers.

Cab and Rad. are stock, w/ tilt open windshields. Custom built bed, beer keg fuel tank, huge center bus stop light, running lights and turn signals, are made from baby food jars, with yellow bulbs. Turn signal light on front grill with arrows. A kick stand on drivers side for parking. It runs, stops, and drives great. For longer trips tire and wheels can be changed.

It has proper VIN # with clear AZ title.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
