Up for auction is my beautiful 1955 Chevy. This car was found in a barn after stored there for over 20 years. It had one repaint and the body was about 98% rust free. The car was then taken to a professional restoration shop were it was mini tubbed. The wheel wells were widened 2 3/4" to make them flush with the frame. All the metalwork on the wheel wells was butt welded (Not overlapped) Like most people do. The metalwork is perfect. At the same time the spare tire well was removed and the trunk floor was modified to make the gas tank centered in the trunk to make room for exsaust. Again the metal work was done to perfection. When you look in the trunk you cant tell anything was done. Looks completely stock. A brand new 9" Ford rear replaced the original it has 31 spline axles and a 3:70 posi center section. The rear is mounted with a leaf spring relocation kit that moves the springs up inside the frame. Also new 3" dropped Posie springs were used. The rear wheels are 15x10 American Racing Torq Thrusts with Hosier 29x12.5 radial tires. At the same time the entire front suspension was rebuilt with all new bushings and ball joints. A new dropped spindle / disc brake kit was added from TCI along with dropped coil springs. This car sits really low! I get compliments all the time on the stance of this car. The original 3 speed was replaced with a muncie M22 close ratio 4 speed that has been completly rebuilt. The car had a 283 engine in it that I just replaced this spring with a brand new 450+ HP 383 Stroker. The engine features a complete Edelbrock RPM topend kit including aluminum heads, RPM Airgap intake and Performer RPM cam. This engine has a ton of power and sounds awesome. Cam has a really nice lumpy sound! The carburator is a Holley 770 double pumper with electric choke. The distributor is a MSD pro billet. The car has a top of the line Grifith aluminum radiator with 1 1/4 tubes. Always runs cool. never higher than 180. The interior was completly redone about 8 years ago and still looks really nice. The body is in really good shape. It only needed one small floor section replaced on the passenger side front. It was butt welded in and you can't tell it was done. Everything underneth is original and rust free! All the floor pans and braces are perfect! This is a really good car. The white paint was redone about 8 years ago. At that time all the glass was pulled out and was replaced with all new smoked grey tint glass and and the rubber seals and window channels were replaced with new. Also while the glass was out all of the stainless trim on the whole car was professionally straightened and polished to a miror finish. The green paint on the car was just redone this year. It is the original Neptune green color. I get compliments on the color all the time. The paint job is very nice but not perfect. This is a very nice driver. Not a show car. I wanted a car that looks really good but I didn't want a car I had to be scared to drive and I didn't want $100,000 55' Chevy. This car is so much fun to drive and it looks really good. It's a car that you can keep inproving over time. My next project on the car was going to be cleaning up and painting the engine compartment. That would be the bigest thing left to do on the car. I was planning on doing that this winter. Im sure I forgot a lot. But you can email me questions or call me at  717-490-4851. There will be a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Thanks

My first group of pictures didn't load right so they are not very big. I just uploaded another group of pictures that are better quality and can be blown up so you can see better details of the car. The new pictures are after the ones I posted originally. Thanks

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

Chevy: The Big Game

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Chevrolet took an early lead for the 2015 Super Bowl advertising crown with its spot for the all-new, 4G LTE-capable Colorado pickup in a spot that simulated a problem with your TV. The stark, simple ad then states that if you're lucky enough to have an Internet-capable vehicle, like the new Colorado, you'd at least be able to stream the game. A clever, chuckle-inducing spot if there was one. Check out our full write up of the new, 2015 Colorado. Marketing/Advertising Chevrolet Truck Super Bowl Commercials Videos 2015 super bowl ad
