I just bought the car of my dreams from a seller in Colorado, a 1954 Chevy 210 Handyman wagon. My first car was a 54 Chevy and I have wanted to hot rod one with a modern chassis and drive train ever since. I am now old enough and have enough money to do it but it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out this time; this car is near perfect for what I had planned but for personal reasons based on occurrences this week I am unable to continue with the project. So, it is now time to sell it and hope there will be a better time for the project in the future.

The previous owner did not give a good, complete description, but I will try to here. The body of this wagon is in excellent condition for a 60 year old car. I have observed no rust, there is good fit for all the panels and doors and all the chrome and stainless shows well. In all, this car was just what I wanted for my purposes. The car has been repainted not too long ago in an original Chevy color “saddle Brown” (color code #559) and the repaint was very good both inside and out. All the interior; seats, doors and headliner, has been redone in white Naugahyde. The front windshield is cracked and there is Plexiglas in the driver side window. I have purchased a new windshield and gasket and driver side window (see the packing slip picture) they are Included with the car in this sale. There are single cracks in both rear passenger windows but the glass appears to be original. Any additional replacement glass needed can be obtained from Bob’s Classic Auto Glass in Eugene, OR. Also the horn ring with the HARD TO FIND brown center emblem is missing; however, I did find one (see the picture) and it will also be included with the car in this sale . The car comes with a visor, skirts and dummy spot lights. The rear view mirror will need to be replaced. The car has seat belts that I believe are recent additions.

All the mechanics, chassis and drive train are original and in good working condition, the battery appears fairly new but I had to jump start it the first time. After it warmed up the 235 ci in line 6 cylinder purred just like mine did back in the 50’s and the 2 speed “power glide” transmission shifted smoothly. The fuel gauge does not work. The brakes work and the tires are new. Also new, according to the previous owner, are the front springs, rims, hubcaps, brakes, battery, gas tank, filler neck, Petronix electronic ignition, cap, rotor, wires, plugs and a recent valve train adjustment. Headlights, taillights and turn signals all work.

This is a good car. The reserve price is a little less than I paid, happy bidding and call me with any questions at (601) 932-1155, Tom.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Sinkhole Opens Up In National Corvette Museum, Swallows Eight Cars

Wed, Feb 12 2014

More cars are being moved inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. to avoid falling down the same sinkhole that swallowed eight classic sports cars early this morning, Autoblog reported. Museum officials said the hole was discovered when motion sensors activated around 5:45 a.m. The rescue mission can be viewed on the museum's live feed cameras, which weren't working after the sinkhole emerged. A 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," both on loan from General Motors, were among the cars that fell into the sinkhole. The museum owned the other affected Corvettes, which included a 1963 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car and the 1 millionth Corvette ever produced. The state of the cars at the bottom of the hole isn't known, but trial lawyer and sinkhole expert Ted Corless said the cars may be a total loss for the museum and GM. "Most states, including Kentucky, exclude damage caused by sinkhole activity," he said. "There will be, in all likelihood, a claim made, but a lot of policies would specifically exclude these kinds of damages." Corless has 15 years experience dealing with sinkholes. He said that typically neither the building, nor the cars themselves are protected under their insurance policies. "I would have to say, more likely then not, they're going to have an uninsured loss measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars." The museum is closed Wednesday while a structural engineer assesses the damage.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
