You are viewing a 1955 Chevy Bel Air 2 door sedan finished in Blue Metallic and India Ivory.  This car is being offered at no reserve!  The opening amount is the least I would take for her. If you're the only one bidding you might get one heck of a deal. I paid more than this and have put more $$ into her than the starting price by far. She has a straight body with nice paint set off with the Bel Air trim. Underneath she is solid. The chrome is in nice shape and looks to have been redone prior to my ownership.  15 inch Cragar wheels wrapped in B.F. Goodrich rubber with plenty of tread left.  This '55 has a small block Chevy 350 tuned with new plugs and wires.  The engine has been dressed up with an Edelbrock intake, carburetor, valve covers, and air cleaner for a little flash under the hood.  The engine is back by a B&M shifted TH350 transmission to a strong GM 12 Bolt Rear End. The car has disc brakes up front with drum brakes in the rear.   This car has the nice rumble with the Flowmaster exhaust. She sounds mean traveling down the road.  Heads will definitely be turning when you're cruising down the road.  Be ready anytime you pull in to get gas people are going to be walking up wanting to look and ask all kinds of questions about her.  This car is definitely a magnet.  The interior is nice with the original touches, but has some upgrades as well.  There's an added tilt column.  As you can see there's aftermarket A/C that runs off of R134 to keep you cool for the summer cruising.  The stock instrument panel and radio are still in place.  The speedo and fuel gauge are inop.  I have always used a GPS for my speedo.  It has an Alpine stereo CD player under the dash with a USB connection for your MP3/Ipod to connect to.  This is just a nice turn key '55 ready for you to cruise around this summer.  Many upgrades have already been done.  It needs nothing as it sits now or you could continue to upgrade if you want.  Feel free to ask any questions and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. The mileage is reading at 23,503, but I am not certain of the actual mileage considering the age of the car.   I really hate to sell the car, but I could use the money for an upcoming home purchase.  I still owe a few thousand to have the loan I took out to buy the car paid off (bought 2 Tri-5's within 2 months of each other and couldn't pay for this one in cash unfortunately).  The winning bidder will receive the car, registration, and bill of sale at the time of purchase.  The remaining balance on the loan will be paid off immediately upon receipt of funds for the car.  As soon as the title is received, I will sign it over and overnight it via USPS to the winning bidder. 

The winning bidder must make contact within 48 hours of auction close.  A deposit of $500 will need to be made at the time of auction close to secure the car.  I will work with the winning bidder if shipping is needed.  The car will not be released until payment clears.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

GM program sees dealers taking on way more loaner cars

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Given the volume of vehicles we're talking about, this is a significant development for GM's bottom line. Bring your car into the dealership for service, and you may need a loaner car in exchange. And with so many recalls being carried out, that means a lot of loaners – especially at General Motors dealerships. That could be one of the reasons why GM is massively expanding its loaner fleet program. While many Chevrolet and Buick-GMC dealerships have an on-site rental car location operated by a third party like Enterprise (which may or may not provide a GM vehicle), others manage their own loaner fleets. But while the range of dealerships operating such fleets was once small, reports Automotive News, the number has been growing rapidly: from the locations responsible for only 20 percent of those brands' sales two years ago to about 90 percent today. The impetus for that growth comes down to a massive expansion of GM's Courtesy Transportation Program. The initiative encourages dealers to ramp up their loaner fleet to a maximum size determined by GM, with a mix determined by the dealer itself, so that a showroom in Texas can be bolstered with a fleet of pickup trucks and a dealer in California can employ more Volt and Camaro Convertible loaners. The dealership gets a $500 credit for each vehicle its puts in its fleet, and can use those vehicles as loaners for service customers, as multi-day test drivers or to rent out separately. The vehicles remain in the dealer's fleet for 90 days or 7,500 miles, then they can be sold as used, but with new-car incentives. The dealer gets a fleet of loaners, customers get to use the loaners, try out a new car overnight or buy a barely used car with attractive incentives, and GM gets to clock more sales. But therein lies the kicker: the automaker counts the dispatch of the loaner new vehicle to the dealership as a new-car sale, which could end up distorting its sales figures. Counting loaner vehicles as sold vehicles is something of an industry-standard practice, but given the volume of vehicles we're talking about, this is a significant development for GM's bottom line. One dealership - Paddock Chevrolet in Kenmore, NY, for example - had no loaner fleet two years ago, but now runs a fleet of 50 vehicles. Multiply that by the 4,000 or so dealers GM has across America and you're talking about the potential for hundreds of thousands of these sorts of sales.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
