1956 Cheveolet Belair 2 Door Hardtop on 2040-cars

Year:1956 Mileage:12345

Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States

Fly in and drive it home.... like I did in 2009!

I purchased this car in Riverside California, I flew in and drove it back on Route "66" after a quick stop in Tucson, AZ to visit family.   While in Tucson Luna Industries rebuild and improved my generator by upping the amperage...due to a mounting bracket braking and shorting out.  Lunaindustries.com has photos of my car taken by the owner and the story that goes with it.... check that out.

As I mentioned, this is a LA factory, born and raised '56 Hardtop (see front license plate)... the car is extremely solid and restored by the previous owner.  It has won local cruize night awards and car show awards since being here in Tulsa,OK.   Growing up as a kid in the 60's I drove these old cars... and nothing I had back then drives like this car.  It has Coker Radial tires... great ride.  Improved shocks, and drives straight as an arrow with no vibration, hesitation, at any speed.   It is the original numbers matching 265 V8 and 2 speed Powerglide...  I have always kept it garaged and never driven it in the rain. 

The paint is a 8/9 out of 10... showing very few flaws... tires are perfect, brakes are perfect, motor and transmission are perfect.  No drips, oil stains, or anything needing attention...

The paint on the center of the steering wheel is showing a few small checks, and a few tiny, tiny chips on the nose, and by the tail light (fuel door)... 

This is not a 1000 point frame off restoration... but the price is more than fair, for the quality of this car...

Note:  The Mileage is not 12345... obviously.  It now shows 8,000+.... but have no idea if it was rolled back at time or frame on restoration.... 

I am posting a lot of pictures and will post more if needed...   Underneath the car is as clean as on top, and the trunk is flawless...   Send someone to check it out... or pick up the phone and call me...  "Jack" 918 346 3593

Sorry people.....  I can't seem to delete a couple of the uploaded photos so that I can add some of the engine compartment...... It says to delete some inorder to add new ones.... but it won't let me....

So... if you need a picture send me your email address and I will send them to you......

Soooooo sorry for the confusion....

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.
