Here is a short history of this fantastic car:

The car featured in this auction is a 1956 Chevrolet Belair 2 dr Hardtop. This 1956 Bel Air was orginally painted aqua/white and had a 265 cu.in. engine with a 3 speed transmission. The car now has a 327 cubic inch engine with a 4 speed Muncie close ratio transmission.

The actual year of the 327 cubic inch block is unknown as the current owner had the engine stored for several years. The 327 cubic inch engine was only produced for eight years (1962-69) but since the engine in this car has a four inch bore and the vent tube is located behind the distributor, this is consistent with an early 327 cubic inch engines. Additionally, the crank shaft that came with the block is 327 STEEL FORGED CRANK, not a cast crank. Perhaps from a Corvette?

When the engine was rebuilt, it was bored .040 over and the crank main and rod journals were polished .010 under. Before the machine shop that rebuilt the engine put it back together the engine was balanced.

in 2009, the upper end of the engine was reconfigured using an Edelbrock 2009 upper end package that resulted in the engine found in this 1956 Bel Air Hard Top. Here is a picture of the Edelbrock package that was used.

Included in this high performance package was an Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder Hydraulic roller cam and Edelbrock RPM Performance heads:

In addition to the Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder cam and the Edelbrock aluminum heads mentioned above, the engine sports an Edelbrock intake manifold upon which sits a new Holly 780 cfm carburator. The installation of the high performance kit now rates the engine in this 1956 Bel Air 2 door Hardtop at 435 hp.

When the engine is running, the exhaust is expelled through Sanderson Shorty Headers, going through a 2 1/2 inch exhaust system that is attached to Flowmaster mufflers.

Since the final rebuild, the car has been rarely driven so the 327 cubic inch engine has only 1000 to 2000 miles on it. .

Power from the 4 speed Muncie transmission is sent to a rebuilt stock 3:55 posi-traction rear end that was rebuilt by a friend. The transmission has no issues and it works very well with the Hurst shifter.

MODIFICATIONS AND UPGRADES
As mentioned earlier, approximately 10 years ago the car was given a frame off restoration with all work being completed by the owner . The frame off restoration took two years to complete. Everything on the car is new except for the clock, the rear springs and some of the stainless. However, most of the stainless was polished and buffed by the owner.

The frame off restoration showed that he car had some small rust areas but after the body was sand blasted the areas of rust were patched with sheet metal and today, there is absolutely no rust in this vehicle.

The current paint job is just like the original paint job and it consists of a basecoat clear coat of Aqua with pearl and solid white. The Aqua turns blue or green at different angles in the sunlight. When the car was reassembled, there were approximately 4 small paint chips on the body, but they have been touched up.

Additional Resto-modifications include 2 in dropped spindles with front disc brakes,

power steering, additional temperature and heat gauges located below the beautiful dash and a Sun tachometer to aid in correctly shifting the Muncie four speed transmission.
Because the car was driven rarely after completion, due to loose brake line fittings that were not properly tightened when installed, brake fluid leaked onto 2 areas of the frame and bubbled the paint. This has been touched up and with black paint and the problem areas look good. Here is a collage of pictures of the underside of the car so that you can see how clean it is:
To complete your "tour" of this car, here are some pictures showing the interior of the 1956 Chevrolet:
And finally, this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door Hard Top is not a $100,000 show car, but it is one of the nicest completely restored, rust free, clean 1956 Bel Air Hard Tops currently available on the auction market.

Check out the Cragar Rims (front 15x7 & rear 15x8) sporting brand new Grand Am X/T tires.
A question you are probably all asking is does this 1956 Bel Air have air conditioning? The answer is NO, but it does have a brand new Griffin Cross Flow radiator that is set up for an air conditioning system. If you want a project so that you can call this car your own, you just need to put in an A/C compressor and a "few other items" and attach it to the Griffin radiator. Other wise, when you drive this car down the road, you will have to use the car's "4-55" air conditioning system - four windows open at 55 miles per hour!

Here is a collage of general interest views of the 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Two Door Hardtop. These pictures will allow you to see additional aspects of the Bel Air that will help you to understand that this Two Door Hardtop is a fun car to drive. If you drive this car to a car show, you more than likely will win a trophy.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt class action suit proposed, Tesla stock could outperform in 2015

Sat, Dec 27 2014

A class action suit has been proposed against General Motors for a steering problem in the Chevrolet Volt. The plaintiffs claim that a defect can cause the steering to freeze intermittently, and that General Motors either knows or should have known about the problem. The case, filed in New Jersey, also claims that defective parts are replaced with the same or similar parts, which are also defective. The plaintiffs say that claims for the 100-plus-member class exceed $5 million. Read more at Law360 or at BigClassAction. Tesla Motors stock (TSLA) has risen after weeks of losses. It gained 5.4 percent during the week ending December 19, when it closed at $219.29 per share. Since then, it rose slightly more, closing at $222.26 on December 24. Morgan Stanley lowered its target price on Tesla stock from $320 to $290, predicting lower sales on the upcoming Model III than expected before, but still called Tesla a good long-term investment. Analysts at CNBC predicted Tesla to be the best performing stock of 2015. Read more at ETF Daily News. Oslo- and New York-based architecture firm Snohetta has designed a zero-emissions house that also charges an electric car. The ZEB Pilot House, built in Larvik, Norway, uses a solar panel on the roof to power the house, which also provides enough excess energy to charge an EV. To make the most of energy most efficiently, the house uses smart technology to use as much energy as it can once it's harvested. This means one can turn on appliances like the washing machine remotely while the sun is at the optimum angle in the sky - perhaps during mid-day when the residents are at work. The house also uses organic materials and is designed to save as much energy as possible. Read more at Wired.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
