Up for auction is my 1955 Chevy Bel-Air 4dr sedan project car. This is a real bel-air, not a 210 or 150. The car was taken to the next level by me, it's now time to take a major loss and pass it on for somebody else to take off where I left off as I don't have the time to put into it.
Here are the facts.... 1968 chevy 307 V8 cleaned up and installed. It was from an old man Impala with bout 80k on it. I also replaced the heads with 64-66 Chevy 283/327 heads. It needs another day or so to be made to run. New starter as well. Fuel line has to be ran . (I have a new fuel tank not installed). Obvious adjustments of carb and timing.
Transmission is a mid 70's known good TH350 shorttail. It's installed using a modern SPEEDWAY cross member. I also have purchased the shifter rod to make it work with original column (not connected)
This car is a rare 1955 POWER STEERING CAR. Everything is intact! Hooked up to original generator unit that is worth $400 alone.
Clearly seen this car IS NOT for somebody who cannot do their own welding and body work unless you have cash to pay somebody to do it. 3 of the 4 doors already are just about finshed. The forth one was started and not finished. The hood is sandblasted and is alone with $500 if not more, it's just about MINT, perfect corners and NOT ROTTED. The trunk lid also is sandblasted and needs minor work. Floor work was done already, needs a little more here and there (nothing major). I installed correct driverside floor pan and brace under it as well as two outer rocker panels.
The rear as clearly seen has already been cut out to be replaced. I have $400 of new sheet metal that needs to be welded for the back, including last 8 inches of inside of trunk and the actual outer panel.
I have a one piece original rear bumper that is powercoated silver, I have an original front bumper that needs to be painted or tossed in favor of something else.
The original wiring is in the dash and excellent. I also put new wiring under the hood. Did you notice the headliner??? That 's all brand new with windlace costing me $700 to do so....
As far as seats I have an original seat that is complete and needs to be redone as well as a mint set of 2003 Monte Carlo bucket seats. You are getting BOTH! I have the original top half of rear seat but not the bottom . The seat I purchased was for a 2 door (the bottom section is slighly different) Sold that and found that lower halves for 4 doors are out there and rather reasonable.
Again, my loss your gain. I will never get out of this what I've already put in. IT is now 2013, 2 and 4 doors are very close in value. A correct finished 55 Bel-Air 4dr is in the 26,500k spot according to the latest KRAUSE price guide as a 2dr sedan is at 32,000..... Eyes closed any really decent 4dr goes for $12-18k.
This is the ultimate car for somebody who is handy and can take it to the next level. It's an easy money maker if you are a car flipper. I think this actually should be of interest to the SWEEDS.
I am going to be loading this car chock full of parts, parts and more parts. You are getting more than your moneys worth and beyond here!!!! I have some doubles of items , all is going!!!! I am also going to be bolting the hood, doors, and trunk on for transport purpose.
CAR also sports original NOTCH wheels that are worth about $300-400. Excellent bias ply tires of the day
DON'T THINK BOUT bidding on this car, just bid on it and have the funds ready to go. I am in NY 10920. I DO NOT HAVE time to waste with dreamers. I am taking a loss and will consider a "BUY IT NOW" as long as your funds are where your offer is.
CLEARLY STATED, this VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE PAPERWORK. I will write out a written bill of sale. I can aquire paperwork @600, e-mail me if you wish to have me handle it, or handle it on your own. THE VIN TAG is present and can be read.
Catch me while I am hot to lose this. IF I put one month into to and little cash it will run and drive being worth $6000 unfinished easy. My reserve is a joke and I hope it goes up above and beyond it. If not....well it's going anyway. CAR LISTED TO SELL IT, not to waste time.
TERMS OF SALE.... AS IS/WHERE IS IN NY 10920. Funds in cash if local or, direct deposit, or last option bank check. NO PAY PAL, no personal checks. NO TRADES. Must be paid in 7 days of auctions end. All ZERO bidders are going to be deleted if they NOT contact me to verify bids. Anybody shady is also going to be deleted. I have a local man who can haul within 400 miles. If you are beyond that then find a transporter. Going easy you are spending $1000 if not more coast to coast , so again don't waste my time if you don't have the funds to make the deal.
Thanks and best of luck.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
