 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.

2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same

Sat, Jul 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.

Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?

Tue, Nov 8 2016

It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
