This is a rare opportunity to start with an HONEST car. NO fluff. What you see is what you get. Original paint that is hiding NOTHING. The photos show you the reality, not an illusion. Trim tag shows Regal Turquoise and India Ivory. I have done a very close inspection and I believe the top was white from the factory. I truly believe the deck lid and quarters where painted white by the dealer. There is no Bondo or any metal repairs. Clear Kansas title.
Car is a true BelAir car. It is complete and in super condition. I was told that it was stored in a barn since the early 80's. All the stainless is in SUPER condition and is completely useable and would be easy job to make perfect. Most of the chrome is nice and would make good cores for re-plating. I have keys and all locks work.
It has an original 55 265 V-8 that runs like a sewing machine. (if your sewing machine needed the carb rebuilt). Seriously, no knocks, no smoke. Sounds great with the glass packs and tailpipes. Nice back rap. Rebuilt once in the past. Heads were set up for unleaded in past rebuild. New fuel pump, coil, cap, rotor, plugs and wires. Fresh oil and filter. Starts right up. Just a lttle hesitation (minor accelerator pump issue) 20 lbs oil pressure at idle and 40 lbs at higher rpms. 140-150 psi on all cylinders. Generator appears to be charging.
Transmission is a 3 speed manual. shifts into all gears fine.
I have not had this on the road. just moved it back and forth around the yard. Tires are old bias ply and have excellent tread but have show a lot of dry rot cracks and will need replaced prior to highway driving.
Seats are in very good condition. All the door panels, trim, armrests, etc. present.
Clock WORKS! It is ticking away right now. Headlights work as do the tail lights, Cigarette lighter, dash lights, park lights, glove box light, turn signals, tag lights, dome light. The horns test fine and sound GREAT, but are tempermental and do not sound off with the horn ring.
Not working is the radio, heater motor, wiper motor, left front marker light. Heater core or control valve has a small leak.
I installed 4 new wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Fuel tank needs replaced and at least one long brake line. Brakes are working on the front only right now. Emergency brake works fine. The brake shoes are all still fine. Front wheel bearings looked fine also.
Body is very straight as you can see. Doors are both solid with only surface rust on the bottoms. They open and close great. Deck lid and hood are also very solid with some minor dents. The floors are in great condition with no rust thru. The trunk floor also is nice with no rust thru. There are some small areas of rust thru which are very minor and usual to these cars. Pictures will show some rust thru at the tail pan and brace, fender eyebrows, and very small holes in the quarters. Will need both small floor braces, end repair on the rear main floor brace, and some inner rocker repair, etc.
All glass is present and in good condition, except winshield which has bb holes and a crack. All windows operate nicely, except left quarter window. it wants to go but I don't want to force it.
I have tried to cover everything. I encourage you to call me and I will give you details on any questions that you may have. This is not your average car. It is exceptional for it age. It is not common to find a car like this anymore. If you really compare this car with other "projects", I know you will see the value in this one. Thanks for looking at the auction. Bid early and bid often. This car is a great investment.

Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept foreshadows an affordable, 200-mile EV future [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Confirming numerous reports and rumors, Chevrolet introduced the Bolt EV Concept, "a vision" of a 200-mile EV with an entry price of around $30,000. Those lofty promises ride atop a funky crossover that made its global debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The orange five door features a spacious greenhouse, complemented by a glass roof and thin D-pillar. A narrow grille and slim LED headlights crown a high fascia that leaves little ahead of its front axle. It's a similar story in back, as General Motors' design boss Ed Welburn sought to limit overhangs and maintain the Bolt's small footprint. "Form and function have never meshed so well together," Welburn said. "No compromises were made when it came to aesthetics and the elements that contribute to the Bolt EV concept's range, resulting in a unique proportion that's sleek, efficient and obviously a Chevrolet." The cabin is not unlike current Chevrolet compacts, with the MyLink touchscreen and a detached instrument cluster dominating the sparse dash. Unlike cars like the Sonic, which features a similar design for its instrument cluster, A Volt-like display is found over the steering column. "The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity," CEO Mary Barra said. "Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers." Take a look at both the official gallery of Bolt images, as well as our live shots. And then scroll on down for more comments from GM brass, in the official press release. Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept Signals Brand's EV Strategy Affordable, long-range concept builds on brand's electrification leadership 2015-01-12 DETROIT – Chevrolet today made a significant statement on its commitment to electrification with the introduction of the Bolt EV concept – a vision for an affordable, long-range all-electric vehicle designed to offer more than 200 miles of range starting around $30,000. "The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity," said General Motors CEO Mary Barra. "Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers." Leveraging the electrification prowess established by Volt and Spark EV, the Bolt EV concept is designed to offer long-range performance in all 50 states and many global markets.
Chevy Bolt, GM's 200-mile EV, could debut in Detroit
Sat, Jan 10 2015It's not news that General Motors is working on a $30,000 electric vehicle with a 200-mile range. Then-CEO Dan Akerson said as much back in 2013. What we've heard before is that this mystery EV will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic and will will arrive in 2017. So, if that's all correct, then it would make sense that confirmation of this plan would come at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, which is just around the corner. And lookee here... The Wall Street Journal is reporting that GM will unveil a concept Chevy Bolt at the Detroit show on Monday. That name sure makes sense, too, since GM registered that trademark back in August. According to the Journal, the rumored numbers – 200-mile range, $30,000 price – are still what's expected. Some new purported details are that the battery will come from LG Chem, which also makes the Volt's batteries, and that the Bolt will be a crossover that could be sold around the world. This all smacks of a preemptive strike against the Tesla Model 3, which is also due around 2017. Currently, GM sells the Spark EV in limited areas of the US, despite a lot of excitement for wider availability. To sell a 200-mile EV for $30,000 means that GM and LG Chem will likely have drastically reduced the cost of making a big plug-in vehicle battery. What this means for the new Volt and GM's future plans is something we're more than a little excited about to learn more of on Monday, the same day that we get to see the redesigned Chevy Volt for the first time. Well, aside from the CES teaser. Green Chevrolet Crossover Electric 2015 Detroit Auto Show Chevy Bolt bolt
The Corvette Museum sinkhole has been filled
Wed, Feb 11 2015After swallowing eight of the most prized pieces of the collection from the National Corvette Museum, the massive sinkhole from a year ago is rapidly becoming nothing but a bad memory. Based on the museum's weekly construction update, you can barely see the remnants of the 25-foot deep hole once in the floor. The Corvette Museum's Skydome was not always going to look like this. The original hope was to keep the sinkhole there as a tourist attraction. That plan eventually fell through, though, and instead it was decided five of the less-damaged Corvettes would remain unrestored. Progress has been moving fast to get the repairs done. Even a month ago, the hole was still very visible, and the construction company used remote-controlled Bobcat loaders to fill it in. Now, the museum has launched a contest to guess how many tons of stone it took to fill in the massive crater. The winner gets a print of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil being lifted out.
