Up for sale is a custom 2 door 1955 Chevy Wagon street rod I bought out of southern California.

This car was built for Audiobahn to showcase their stereo equipment at car shows and the body on restored car looks amazing! It was featured in magazines and I have one that will sell with the car. Featured are Audiobahn 18 inch subs with ten speakers total. In the back are three amps powering the speakers and there is a new Kenwood KDC 448U tuner.

A lot of subtle changes have been made during the build process (note the quarter windows are taken out). I was told the paint and body work was $15,000.00 and I have no reason to doubt that. Time was taken making the body seams align properly. The chrome and stainless look perfect with no patina. All the rubber looks new, no rattles and the doors close better than any car I've owned. There is a patch panel on the driver side floor board, otherwise it is rust free under the car.

My wagon rolls on Colorado Customs 18" rims with BF Goodrich 245-40-18 tires in great condition. The car has been lowered giving it just that right stance. Colorado Customs also built a matching steering wheel mated to an ididit steering column.

You'll have power rack and pinion steering, power disc brakes and power windows. The interior is black leather. A B&M shifter shifts the 350 turbo trans that is mated to a 350 engine that is well dressed with polished intake, new Holley carb, polished alternator and a polished air conditioner compressor (not hooked up). March serpentine belt and pulleys turn the accessories.

An aluminum radiator with electric fan keep the car cool with no problems over heating.

The ride is very smooth, stops great with the disc brakes and the motor runs strong.

I have the car insured for $40,000.00 and it's worth it. Buy this one at a fraction of what it's worth. I'm not looking to trade. I can no longer drive to car shows and the car is just sitting in the garage.

You can reach me at 256-446-9646 or 256-412-3824. I will help in loading the car or maybe meet you half way if it's not too far.

I would seriously consider enclosed transport.....the car is that nice!

Bid with confidence. The car is exactly as listed. Draw a crowd wherever you stop. If you buy the car you will not be dissapointed.

The turn signals haven't been hooked up after the steering column was installed. I've had 2 neck surgeries and can't get under the dash to hook it up. Sorry this wasn't in the original listing.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla P85D upgrades coming soon, lease a Chevy Volt for $149 a month

Wed, Dec 31 2014

CarCharging has raised $6 million from shareholders and has restructured to save cash. The EV charging company plans to expand further in 2015 - with an eye toward achieving profitability - in part by investing in technology and "unlocking the value of our significant equipment inventory," says CarCharging CEO Michael D. Farkas. The group expects to reduce administrative costs by 40 percent, and has hired an interim Chief Financial Officer to help carry out its plans for growth. CarCharging raised the cash through offering convertible preferred stock to its shareholders, whom Farkas thanked "for their passion and patience." Read more in the press release below. Rydell Chevrolet in Los Angeles is offering Chevrolet Volt leases for $149 per month. In a video ad, Rydell offers the Volt for $169 a month with $3,390 due at signing, but another ad shows the offer at $149 a month with $3,550 down or $248 per month with $0 down. Rydell Chevrolet will ship the car anywhere in the lower 48 states. It also appears they offer cupcakes. See Rydell's video below, or read more at Inside EVs. Tesla will upgrade the Model S P85D with higher performance and top speed. The free update, which is due "in the next few months" according to a statement from Tesla, will raise the electronically limited top speed from 130 to 155 miles per hour. "Additionally, an over-the-air firmware upgrade to the power electronics will improve P85D performance at high speed above what anyone outside Tesla has experienced to date," Tesla says. The update will be available for the lifetime of the car, which includes subsequent owners. Read more at Green Car Reports.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
