1956 Chevrolet Nomad on 2040-cars
Salem, Oregon, United States
Feel free to email: ardath.dorff@clovermail.net .
1956 Chevy Nomad in very good condition. This is a beautiful driver with a stock 350 four bolt main block, big
heads, w/nice cam, Edelbrock carb and intake w/headers (installed at 98,000 miles, so no more than 3,220 miles on
rebuilt engine, Tuned by Bob and Nick Jennings in So.Cal), backed by a 700r overdrive transmission (rebuilt and
installed with less than 1,000 miles), with glass-packs out the sides. The stunning matador red/(orange) paint is
around 15 years new and always garaged. It does have a couple small spots blistering in the front lower fenders,
the rear tailgate and lift gate area have not been restore completely. The interior was restored to 100% stock
condition two years ago from the metal up, with zero rust on the inside metal (except for the wheel well, which was
repaired when the body was painted), everything was sealed with POR 15, new head liner, new seats with new seat
belts where installed, new door panels, new window regulators, new door locks, all the interior chrome was
re-plated, new carpet with insulation, and a new electrical harness under the dash. The only thing not stock is the
stereo with speakers in the kick panels. Michelin tires have lots of tread (215/75/15) with Rally Rims all the way
around . Most of the outside chrome was re-plated, but some exterior pieces have light pitting as seen in the
photos. Windshield is crazing a little on the lower left driver side (see photo). This car starts fast with the
electric fuel pump, runs, drives, stops, and is a "quick" fun cruiser. This was my grandfathers car, and he
purchased it in 1957 from the first owner. Clear title with zero accidents.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
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.
