 1955 Chevy Bel Air two door post.  I bought this car about 20 years ago in Alabama with the hopes of fixing it up but I'm in the military and just haven't had the time.  I've spent a lot of time and money on it over the years but as you can see, I've let it sit around too long this time and it needs attention by someone who has the time.

Drivetrain:  383 stroker, 350 turbo and 3.23 10 bolt posi rear-end.  Engine NOT running, will turnover and start but won't stay running 

- Rack and pinion power steering

- Front disc brakes

- Chrome tilt steering column.  (starting to pit from sitting around) 

- Duel exhaust

- 2" drop springs on the front, installed urethane bushings years ago

- Griffin 4 core aluminum radiator

Negatives:  

- Has 383 stroker that was professionally built about 15 years ago.  I haven't driven this car in over 2 1/2 years so I'm NOT claiming it runs or drives(but sure it will with some work).  I can say I've only put around 4-5 thousand miles on it.

- Will need complete interior, what you see in pictures is what will be included

- Will need body work, front floor pans(see pictures) .  I stripped this car down to bare metal and used spray can primer to cover bare metal.   I'm almost 100% sure that the quarters, floor, rocker panels and trunk are original.  Left side front fender in in excellent condition, Hood is in good condition, right side front fender is in fair condition, right door is in poor condition(I pulled creases out but would probably re-skin), left rear quarter panel has rot in front of wheel well, right rear quarter panel is in good shape(a little bondo), trunk is in decent shape, a little rot on inside weld seem, trunk is decent, has rot in back half(see pictures), roof will need work right above drivers door(see picture) 

Positives:

- All stainless is there and in really good shape, I removed it all 20 years ago and stored inside.

- Bought pretty much all chrome and emblems brand new and it's all still in like new condition in boxes to include:  At least $2,000 in chrome parts

10 piece triple chrome bumper

4 piece grill surround(top and bottom pieces got damp somehow so they're not in brand new condition but still very nice)

Hood Bird

Headlight bezels

Parking light bezels

Taillight bezels with solid red lens

Bel Air scripts

Door handles

Wiper bezels

Gold crests

All window felts

trunk seal

I replace all the glass in the car with smoked tinted glass but a vandal busted the passenger side windows.  Front/back windshield and driver side glass is in great shape.

VIN: C 55N041181

Cowl Tag:

Style 55-1011D

Body N 5689

Trim 531

Paint 627

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of stuff so feel free to contact me for more information or pictures.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting

Mon, Aug 20 2018

With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap

Fri, Nov 6 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
