Hey Everyone!
Looking to sell this great 56 Handyman. Recently pulled the car from storage and I've been working towards having it on the road for my own pleasure. I've come to a place where I have absolutely no time to continue working on it. If your looking for a classic car to have as a daily driver, this is the car for you. It's far from show quality, but it's a solid 20-footer. As it sits right now, it turns over, fires, and runs. The transmission was serviced before the car went into storage around 5 years ago and the rear axle is a late 80's GM 10bolt with a 3.73:1 gearset. There is a vacuum leak and as a result the car dies off below 1400 rpm. It has an MSD control box, coil, and distributor (vacuum advance), and all are brand new as of April 2013 as well as the water pump. It's pulling fuel through a Holley 600cfm carb with vacuum secondary and electric choke, rebuilt in April 2013. The car has an electric fuel pump in place of the mechanical and I've installed an OEM style fuel tank as the previous one needed replacing. The tank, sending unit, and mounting hardware are all brand new as of April 2013. The car is fitted with a 4-wheel power disc brake conversion kit from Classic Performance Products (CPP), and 2 inch drop spindles up front. The rear brake lines still need to be plumbed from the proportioning valve to the calipers; I have the remaining parts in storage to be included in sale. The rear lugs need adjustment; the company that installed them did a sorry job and there are some lug nuts that will not go on. There is an 18-circuit Painless wiring harness, unfortunately after a few years in storage there seems to be a draw on the system which I do not have the time to troubleshoot. The motor needs a tune-up; it burns some oil. The original gauge cluster was broken beyond repair, I've installed a set of Autometer gauges of the following types: MPH, RPM, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Fuel, and Battery. The turn indicator switch needs to be replaced in order for the blinkers to be serviceable. The car is fitted with 2 bucket seats in the front and there is no back seat. The headliner is in perfect shape and the interior walls are upholstered with a simple gray tuck-n-roll. Tires are in good shape. All of the window mechanisms work, although not perfectly. The rear bumper had been removed before I purchased it and a rollpan was installed in its place. Car is missing trim bar spanning the forward edge of the hood.
Mileage is unknown.
All in all this is a great car that just needs a little attention in just the right places to be the perfect cruiser:
Chevy 350
TH350 Transmission
GM 10bolt axle with 3.73 gears
New water pump
New MSD ignition
New plugs and plug wires
Rebuilt Holley Carburetor
Sanderson Headers, shorties
Dual, side exhaust (Flowmaster 40 series)
Transmission cooler
Aluminum radiator
4-wheel, power disc brakes
2-inch drop spindles
Painless wiring harness
Autometer gauges
Car is being sold as is. I will not ship, you must arrange pickup.
Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to sending this car off to a great new home.

Cadillac Celestiq, Lyriq, Hummer, other future GM electric cars: Here's everything we saw at ‘EV Day’
Wed, Mar 4 2020WARREN, Mich. — Today, General Motors held an “EV Day” event at its Warren, Michigan, campus to present its new “Ultium” battery technology, modular electric vehicle architecture and soon-to-come electric vehicles. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from bringing cameras into the event, so while we canÂ’t show you what we saw, we can tell you more about it. While we saw the previously teased Cadillac EV (which we now know to be called the Lyriq) and the GMC Hummer pickup teased during the Super Bowl, there were a number of other future cars at the event, which GM President Mark Reuss assured us are all real vehicles in the works. The biggest surprise came at the end of the event, though, in the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan, which Reuss described as a future flagship that would be hand-built “very locally.” It had been hiding under a dark sheet all morning, with the front and rear illuminated Cadillac emblems shining from underneath. When the wraps came off, we saw a long, white, four-seat fastback sedan. The 23-inch wheels were pushed out to the very corners of the car, giving it what appeared to be a very long wheelbase. The model on the stage had no side mirrors or visible door handles. The grille mirrored that of the Lyriq crossover next to it, with integrated lighting in lieu of the usual mesh or slats youÂ’d see in an internal combustion car. The entire roof, all the way until it tapered to the tail of the vehicle, was tinted glass. In back, vertical tail lighting ran down the C-pillar before turning rearward across the top of the trunk. Inside, everything below the beltline of the windows — essentially all but the headrests and top portion of the steering wheel, was hidden from view. Behind the Celestiq, a large digital display showed a rendering of its interior. The dash consists of a pillar-to-pillar curved LED display serving as both instrument panel and infotainment system. Protruding forward between the front seats was another touchscreen that appeared to house some more controls, with open area, probably for storage, below it. The rear seats had the same sort of touchscreen between them. Built into the back of the front seats were a pair of rear-seat entertainment screens, much like we saw in the Lyriq. The door panels blended wood, metal and animated lighting to give character and a sense of opulence. GM interior design manager Tristan Murphy was on hand to tell us a bit more about the Celestiq.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Chevrolet To Oversee Restoring Sinkhole Corvettes
Fri, Feb 14 2014What Mother Earth devoured, Chevrolet plans to resurrect. The carmaker said Thursday it will oversee restoration of the classic cars swallowed by a huge sinkhole beneath the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. General Motors Design in Warren, Mich., will manage the painstaking work to repair the eight prize vehicles, the automaker said Thursday. The cars were consumed when the earth opened up early Wednesday beneath a display area when the museum in Bowling Green, Ky., was closed. No injuries were reported. The museum was open Thursday except for the area where the sinkhole occurred. Mark Reuss, GM's head of global product development, said the damaged vehicles rank as "some of the most significant in automotive history." "There can only be one 1-millionth Corvette ever built," he said, referring to one of the damaged cars. "We want to ensure as many of the damaged cars are restored as possible so fans from around the world can enjoy them." Just how the cars will be pulled out of the ground remains to be seen, said museum executive director Wendell Strode. The local fire department estimated the hole is about 40 feet across and 25 to 30 feet deep. The hole opened beneath part of the museum's domed section. "We feel pretty confident that most of the cars can be extracted," Strode said Thursday. "And we hope and believe that with just a little bit of luck, that all eight cars can be extracted and be part of the restoration." Chevrolet spokesman Monte Doran said some of the cars look to be in good shape, while others are buried in rubble. "It will likely be several weeks until we can get the cars out and assessed," he said. The GM Design team has helped restore other historic cars, but the Corvette project looks to be its biggest, he said. "These Corvettes are part of our history, and they want them restored properly," Strode said. "We're thrilled they're doing this." The cars looked like toys as they plunged into the hole, piled in a heap amid dirt and concrete fragments. The museum owns six of the cars while two - a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil - are on loan from General Motors. The other cars damaged were a 1962 black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette. Pictures of the sinkhole showed a collapsed section of floor with multiple cars visible inside the hole.
