You are looking at my 1956 Chevrolet Nomad that I started on a few years ago. Due to an accident and a loss of income I am forced to sell my car that I dearly love but wasn't able to finish. This is an all original built car, the way they built them back then. I have about a zillion dollars invested in my car, you guys that build them know what I mean. This will give someone a chance to get a good car at a good price. The car is about 90% complete in the project stage, really all it needs to be complete is the interior kit and installation, The glass put in it, which I have it all except the rear liftgate glass and the exterior stainless, which I have it all. I want to make a quick comment here on the exterior stainless. I had it all professionally restored, that alone was a $2500.00 project, and it looks beautiful. I have it all rapped up packed in a box so it won't get scratched. I have some of the chrome re-plated and some still needs done. I have the headliner bows done and some other pieces as well. As you can see the rear bumpers are on the car and I have the front bumpers ready to put on, they are done as well. Starting from the ground up, everything on the drive-train is new, brake lines, fuel lines, all the wheel seals, breaks, break drums, tie rods, coil springs gas tank, fuel pump, ect. The engine is the original 265 V-8 with the Powerglide transmission. I took the engine and had it COMPLETELY rebuilt, had the block bored. All new rings, bearings, rods, cam, the works and the heads were rebuilt as well. Basically everything under the hood is new. The engine has new a 4-Bar. carb with the original power steering. The transmission is the original 2 speed Powerglide. When I was in the engine/transmission stage of the project, I wanted to be sure the transmission was a good one so I put it in without doing anything to it. After this stage was complete I took it for a test drive and everything worked as it should,(shifted smooth). As many of you know these Powerglides has a history of leaking and mine is no different, so it needs taken out and new seals needs installed in it, other than that the transmission is fine.I have the front and back seats for the car, the back seat is in GREAT shape, the front seat is rebuild-able. The car has had all new wiring harnesses put in and everything works as it should right down to the clock.Basically everything was new when the car was put together. I can't even begin to list everything because I would surely leave something out. You may have noticed in the photos, the hood was not all the way down, the reason for this is the hood hinges I had on it had something wrong with them, they just didn't work properly so I bought new ones and put them on with new springs as well so it needs some adjustments made that was never done. In the rear cargo area is a border of stainless that goes around the floor area, I have some of these pieces but not all of them. They have not been restored. Once I had all of them I was going to have them restored as well but never got around to that part yet. The metal trim that goes around the top of the cargo area in the back has all been painted and ready to install once the interior has been installed. During the assembly of the car there are a couple places the paint chipped when tightening the of that particular piece, these are small places but they are there and there is a very, very small dent, about the size of a BB in the drivers door, too small to show up in a photo and I'm sure it can be fixed fairly easily if someone knew what they were doing. I am trying to mention every little detail so there will be no surprises if someone were to look at the car. I am sure I've left something out but I've described my car the best I could. If there are any questions about it, and I'm sure there will be, don't hesitate to ask. This will make someone a nice car once it's completed and it won't take too much to do that. Any shipping arrangements will be the responsibility of the buyer although I can assist. A $500.00 deposit is required within 24 hours of auction closing. I reserve the right to end this auction early due to the car is for sale locally. Thank you for looking!

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
