This is as close to a brand new 1955 Chevy as you can get. I have been asked by a friend, who is battling cancer, to sell this beautiful car that he has spent $60K (have receipts) and the last 5 years restoring. He has only logged 1300 miles on the odometer of the electronic dash. Every nut, bolt, and washer on this car has been replaced...this very nice car was completely dis-assembled, stripped, and any panel with any kind of issues was replaced and completely jig welded and finished on a rotisserie by a certified welder! The body is better now than it was when it came from the factory. The same goes for the frame...it was solid from the start, but was blasted, checked for straightness, and painted. Then all new suspension, (CCP power) steering, and brakes were added. The differential was checked, blasted, cleaned and painted. The pictures show the all new interior, it is absolutely beautiful! The car has Vintage A/C and a nice stereo CD player with 4 speakers...2 in parcel shelf and 2 in kick panels. The engine is a smooth running professionally rebuilt 350 small block with coated headers, edelbrock carb and valve covers and a high dollar aluminum radiator. The original frame mounted bell housing holds an 11" clutch and 010 Muncie 4 speed with Hurst shifter. I have drove this car, and with its new tilt steering column, it's a pleasure to drive! It has polished 5 spoke aluminum wheels with B.F. Goodrich radials. The finish is PPG Base coat clear coat, and all trim and emblems are either new or in perfect condition. There is way too many items on this car to try to list here so please study the pictures and if you have questions contact Troy @ 563-503-9281. We will be happy to assist the new owner with arrangements for pick-up or shipping, and welcome overseas buyers! The cas has to be sold AS-IS, but be assured it is a work of art and will not disappoint anyone anywhere, so if you are looking for a Tri-five Chevy, this could be your next car! Illinois retail buyers will be subject to Tax, title and license.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses
Thu, Apr 7 2016May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.
