Up for auction is a 1955 Chevy 210 2 Door Sedan project that is nearly complete. I bought this car as a rolling shell and had the body work and paint professionally done by a local custom body shop. This car is very, very solid. All of the hard work has been done and now the car just needs to be finished and enjoyed. The car runs and drives.
Here are the details:
Body
The body was stripped to bare metal and all body work done. The car was sealed with epoxy primer and then surfaced and blocked before being painted. The paint is a GM metallic blue lower and white upper. There are realistic flames ghosted into the hood and fenders.
All new body bushings were installed. All floors, body bracing etc are very solid and not rusted out like many of these cars.
Interior / Glass
The dash was stripped and painted GM metallic blue. The car comes with two bucket seats from a corvair and the rear seat springs that need to be upholstered. I have no other interior for the car.
The windshield is installed and I have the rear window and all new front / rear side glass for it that need to be installed.
Wiring
This car has a brand new 15 circuit wiring harness installed. Some wiring will need to be completed with the front headlights and park lights.The taillights are wired and the brake lights and signals work great.
Engine / Trans
The engine is a rebuilt 350 V8 with a holley 670 avenger carb, new HEI distributor and wires, new chrome headers, new water pump, new billet crank and water pump pulleys, new aluminum radiator. The trans is a TH350 automatic.
The car does not have have any exhaust run past the headers.
Suspension
Suspension is all stock, nothing has been modified.
Brakes
This car has 4-wheel drum brakes. All brake hardware has been replaced and new master cylinder and lines installed.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
