1955 Chevrolet 2 door post 210 Custom.

Completely restored with frame off.  Under 40 miles on vehicle since left garage.  Needs finishing touches . I have all parts needed to finish the project except new front bumper,  but I have nice core that goes with. Also no headliner purchased or installed. Owned for 14 years, been building for the last 10 years. June 2012 was the first time on the road. Tons of new stuff which are listed below.  

*New Front end Bushings and tie rods from PST Suspension
* Frame off restoration
* 1974 350 CU inch, 4 Bolt main, rebuilt with mild cam, built by certified mechanic and MSRA member
* New Patriot ceramic headers
* Turbo 400 Cadillac transmission (rebuilt) and converter.
* New Weiand aluminum intake
* New Edelbrock carb
* MSD ignition
* New Lokar floor shift, Lokar gas pedal and throttle assembly

* New wiring harness and updated fuse block
* Tubbed rear wheels
* Rear springs mounted in pocket frame - by Tin Man Fabrication , MN 
* New aluminum radiator

* New door seals, window trim and whiskers
* Newly upholstered  interior and side panels

  The list goes on. I have all reciepts for parts, pieces, labor etc. As any car project, it got out of control.
You can drive it now and and finish the small stuff while you enjoy.   No tire kickers, brokers or scammers please. With all do respect, if you're a car person and really want to purchase a '55 Chev, I will be happy to answer any questions.   I will tell you everything that has been done.         Reciepts say much more as usual and I realize my loss is the buyers gain.  Two things that are not perfect are a slight fitment issue when hood is down and latched.  There is a slight gap on passenger side seam, could be a fender adjustment or shim needed.  The back seat cushion was trimmed  slightly too much by the upholsterer to allow for wheel tubs.  Wasn't noticed until assembly. Other than those 2 items, it's a great car to drive and enjoy. I've tried to represent this honestly and truthfully.  I realize there is some small work and some expense to be done along with no fancy tires & wheels, I have taken these items into consideration in choosing my reserve price.  I am located 30 minutes north of Mpls  or 45 minutes NW of Hudson ,Wisconsin.

To answer several questions I've added pics of the hood fitment issue.

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating

Fri, May 13 2016

This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

2015 Chevy Volt will be available with 4G LTE

Tue, Jan 14 2014

General Motors teased consumers two years ago when it showed off a Chevrolet Volt decked out with 4G LTE connectivity. More details were finally unveiled this month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: the 2015 Chevy Volt will have a 4G LTE option and will offer consumers an as-yet-unpriced option with much faster wireless internet connection and more smartphone apps. GM's OnStar has teamed up with AT&T to come up with several mobile apps alongside the roadside assistance. The Volt joins the 2015 Corvette, Impala and Malibuz models that will debut with a 4G LTE option this year. The first four 4G ChevroLTE models will be released this summer and will be joined by the Spark (EV and gas versions), Equinox, Silverado and Silverado HD. GM has yet to announce whether any Cadillac or Buick models will get the 4G option. Chevrolet Accelerates to 4G LTE Speeds in 2014 Bowtie brand models in U.S. and Canada to get OnStar 4G LTE by summer LAS VEGAS – Starting this summer, Chevrolet will have some of the fastest vehicles on the roads, and that has nothing to do with horsepower. Chevrolet drivers will be enjoying high-speed data - made possible by a new OnStar 4G LTE connection in the vehicle, running on AT&T's network, the nation's fastest and most reliable 4G LTE network. Chevrolet today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt would be the first General Motors' vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE. They will be followed by the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV. In the Canadian market, OnStar with 4G LTE will be introduced on the Chevrolet Trax as well. The majority of the 2015 Chevrolet lineup in the U.S and Canada will have a 4G LTE connection built-in at vehicle launch. More models will be announced later this year. "Chevrolet is expected to implement the broadest deployment of 4G LTE in the automotive industry," said Alan Batey, senior vice president of Global Chevrolet. "The fact that OnStar with 4G LTE will be available in models that range from the Chevrolet Spark to the Silverado to the Corvette, is indicative of our broad commitment to deliver more value and convenience through smart technology applications.
