The car is owned free and clear with an Ohio title that is in our name. If you are looking for a Beautiful 55 chevy from top to bottom than this is it. Full frame off restoration with only 273 miles since completion....all of the original sheetmetal is still in place aside from new front floor pans and long body brace ends....it was completely disassembled and the entire underbody was painted in the same black basecoat/clearcoat as the top....all new poly body mounts (pictured), rebuilt front end with new poly a-arm bushings and upper and lower ball joints, Danchuk crossmember w/ power rack and pinion steering kit, 4 wheel power disc brakes with cross drilled and slotted rotors, 2" drop spindles, 2" lowered in the rear to match......12 bolt rearend with 3.07 gear, multi leaf springs, traction bars, new fuel tank, in tank electric fuel pump, new brake and fuel lines, 17" ION wheels with Run Flat Bridgestone Turanza 225/45R17 tires......The engine is a nicely detailed 283 small block chevy with edelbrock aluminum intake and carb w/ electric choke, HEI ignition, aluminum serpentine drive system, billet air cleaner, aluminum radiator w/ electric fan, A/C compressor installed but an actual AC unit is not currently in place but can be easily added to complete the system, T56 6 speed manual overdrive transmission with Hurst Shifter and a McLeoud Street twin clutch with Billet Flywheel rated to 1000hp...full dual exhaust that exits under the rear bumper........GORGEOUS custom interior designed after the original, super comfortable, beautiful dash and headliner, inside has been completely sound deadened, Classic Instruments gauges that are all functional, billet gauge panel, turn signals, LED high beams, IDIDIT tilt steering column, billet steering wheel...all new window fur channels and weatherstripping, new front windshield (the rest of the glass appears to be original), new front and rear glass seals, new door seals, rebuilt vent windows, 100% all new wiring...all of the stainless was removed, cleaned and polished........chrome front and rear bumper.....the car is painted two tone House of Kolor black and galaxy grey metallic basecoat/clearcoat....as you can tell in the pics this is an absolutely gorgeous 55 chevy with a killer stance that is basically a brand new car.....now I am very picky about the quality level of vehicles and the only thing I will say is that although the paint looks beautiful...to me it is not what I would consider lazer straight down the sides...everything lines up nice and the doors open and close like new...but being black I can see some waves in the body..by the rear tail lights there is a small area that has been recleared in the grey...the paint is definitely above driver quality but it is not concourse level......BUT most people would probrably say that I am too picky........but I would rather be overly critical than the other way around. This vehicle would be fantastic for cruise nights or local car shows....something that you can jump in and cruise w/o much worry.......there has been A LOT of time and money invested in this car....it is complete, turnkey and ready to enjoy....Feel free to call me at

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
