Every once in a while a car comes along with a special story that truly makes it a one-of-a-kind vehicle. This is one of those cars. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop was sold new at my dealership in 1955. It was traded in by the original owners at my dealership in 2000. The best part is that the same salesman who sold the car in 1955, took the car in trade 45 years later and sold his customer a new 2000 Impala. He was in his thirty's when he sold the car in 1955 and in his late seventy's when he took it back in trade. Back in 55' the salesman's father and older brother owned the dealership and this car was sold to his baby sister. She and her husband took the car on their honeymoon and kept it for the next 45 years. Fast forward to 2000 and my elderly salesman Bill asks me if I want take a 1955 Bel Air in trade on a new Impala. Of course I say yes, and he makes the deal with his sister. I personally travelled to Salt Lake City with a trailer and picked up the Bel Air at the owners home and brought it back to the dealership where we began a complete restoration. I will let the attached photos tell most of the story, but in short the following major items were done:

The original 265 4V Powerpack V8 was completely rebuilt in my shop by a certified GM mechanic.
The original cast iron two speed Powerglide transmission was completely rebuilt in my shop by the same mechanic.
The original rear differential was completely rebuilt by the same mechanic.
The original 4 barrel carburator was rebuilt by the same mechanic.
All rusted body panels were replaced and the car was painted in my body shop.
The interior was replaced with Danchuck materials.
The clock and radio were repaired and are currently working properly.
All other mechanical components were rebuilt or replaced.

I had planned on keeping this car for the rest of my life and keeping on display at my dealership. Then came the bankruptcy of GM, and my Chevrolet franchise was taken from me. Now looking at the car reminds me of the loss of a Chevrolet dealership that had been in continuous operation in the same location since 1936. It's time for someone else to own this vehicle who can enjoy it like I once did.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
