Up for sale is a 1955 Chevy Bel air 2 door Hard Top! This car is a barn find that needs full restoration. it has a later model v8 engine condition unknown and an manual transmission with floor shifter. I have taken plenty of pictures to show the car as it sits. I'm not hiding anything. the trunk pan looks good with a hole where the spare tire goes. the floor boards are gone, so are the rear lower quarters and rockers.

The mileage reads 33676, don't know if that's original or if its rolled over

This car is a project but being a 2 door hardtop is worth rebuilding. these are getting harder and harder to find.

The Vin Number is VC55J111262 so this car was an original V8 Bel air made in 1955 at the Janesville Wisconsin plant and was production number 111262

The body Tag reads

615------------Two tone Shoreline Beige/Gypsy Red

The car will come with a Florida bill of sale NO TITLE.***** I have listed the car with a salvage title because EBAY has no option for Bill of sale, I have no title Bill of sale only*****

the frame looks to be ok and the car rolls, no idea on condition of the brakes

The radiator is not pictured but i have the one that came out of the car.

This car will need to be towed on a flatbed or a trailer. if you bring a trailer we can help push the car on the trailer.

You can get a shipping quote from any shipping company like USHIP for transport, If you will be using a shipping company I will need payment in FULL before the car will be release to the shipping company.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

It will only take 42 seconds of your life so don't expect an Arctic challenge, but if you in the snow regions had any doubts about how it will handle the frozen goods, this should help assuage them. The bigger and better, more powerful and faster Volt - able to run regular fuel - will get out from under its camo at the North American International Auto Show next month. For now, enjoy the way it moves its hips in the video above. News Source: Chevrolet via YouTube, Facebook Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet Videos

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
