Up for auction is my dad's 1955 Chevy Bel Air Convertible with the rare Continental kit. We are the third owners of this car and it has been in our family for over the past 10 years.

 Both the interior and exterior were redone in the late eighties by the second owner, (a neighbor) and the car has always been garage kept as well as meticulously maintained. The top operates smoothly and has retained its color.The paint still has looks great to this day (with the occasional chip or two), and a ripple on the front fender as well as some slight fading on the back seat, but nothing drastic.

Mechanically, this car is sound and ready to drive anywhere. For the past decade this car has been only to cruises, car shows and in the occasional wedding. The mileage is at just under 90,000 or so and we believe this to be accurate.

The original  Power-glide transmission shifts smoothly and the 265 V8 w/ 2bbl carburetor runs strong, however it is not stock for the car. There is no rust on the body or the floor; the frame and the body mounts are sound. All the gauges work, as does the AM radio.

This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel this auction at anytime. Any bidders with poor history, no history, or just shady in general, please do not bid. If you would like to take a look at the car or have any questions please email me.

I believe that I have described this car to the best of my abilities and as with any and all old cars, this one is being sold "as is". 

Happy bidding!

Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain

Sat, Aug 9 2014

Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
