Double Nickel 55 Chevrolet BelAir
This amazing 2-door sedan has a 40+ year history as a rust free Alberta car and has just received an over the top 2-year rotisserie restoration with no expense having been spared. Appraised at $265,500.00 there is no other like it, and it would cost more than a quarter million to have a shop duplicate this Hot Rod 55 for you. The car is an all original sheet metal build that was stripped to bare metal and built with the highest degree to detail throughout. It's equipped with a street friendly big block making over 713hp and an amazing 732 foot pounds of torque. Here's the short list of options:
Big Block Chev 565ci Dart Big M Engine
Tremec T-56 Magnum 6 Speed Manual Transmission
Currie 9" Locker Differential with Strange 35 Spline Axles
Pro Stock 4-Link Rear with QA1 Coil Over Shocks
Heidts Tubular Front Suspension with QA1 Coil Overs
Hydra-Tech Power Brakes with Wilwood Master
Wilwood 4-wheel Disk Brakes w/ Drilled Slotted Rotors
Weld Classic RT Wheels with Hoosier Pro Street Tires
House of Kolor 3-Stage Paint w/ Professional Cut& Polish
Custom Leather Interior with Art Morrison 8 Point Cage
Stainless Return Fuel System with Aeromotive A-1000 Pump
Ricks 22 Gallon Stainless Steel Tank with Filler in Taillight
Tinted Glass, Restored Polished Original Stainless
Power Windows, Remote Controls, Professional Audio
Extensive on board electronics, professionally wired.
The list goes on and on...and so does the custom stuff!
The car starts instantly, is very easy to drive, makes phenomenal power and will literally stop on a dime. It cruises at 2000 rpm while doing 75 mph and averages 12 mpg highway. I built the car from scratch with the help of a few friends while the body,paint and upholstery were handled by the pros. I have all receipts, pictures and technical info for the entire build. It was completed in June 2013 and I just finished working out the bugs where the car is ready to go into a collection and become somebody else's favorite hot rod. Awards and wins at major shows include numerous best in class, outstanding in class, outstanding paint, best engine, outstanding detail, best interior, outstanding street machine, peoples choice awards, and the list goes on.
This is a high end build for the "serious" hot rod collector. I will openly discuss the possible sale with those who "have the means" to own it and will consider a partial or group trade on late 60's muscle cars, a TriFive 4x4, 30's Hot Rod, or original Chevrolet survivor cars. No interest in anything after 1972 and no interest in bikes, projects or basket cases. This car is also advertised locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at anytime should a private sale be made. Payment by direct bank to bank wire is required and payment subject to bank clearing times before vehicle is picked up or shipped. I will work with overseas buyers to have the car shipped to a suitable port of entry for shipping by sea carrier. Serious collectors can call me direct at 403-669-4035 between 10AM and 10PM Mountain Standard Time. My time is valuable as I'm sure your is, so please, lets not waste anyone's time.

I've had a bunch of questions about the car so here are some of the answers. Exhaust is all custom made with 321 Stainless Steel. Headers have 1/2" Stainless Flanges and they're a stepped design from 2" to 2-1/8" primaries with 3.5" merge collectors. There is 3" stainless tubes running to the rear bumpers with Hooker Aero Chamber Mufflers and V-Band connectors for quick release. The sound of the exhaust is very deep and throaty, and when you put your foot into it, it becomes very loud indeed. The steering is Rack & Pinion with a custom stainless tubular mount and polished stainless Borgeson shafts. Steers great and I had it aligned in June 2013 when the car was brought out. Brakes are power assist from the hydraulics and runs off the accumulator which is mounted behind the master cylinder (very responsive). The radiator is a PRC 2 row heavy duty aluminum rad and it runs with dual Spal 2300cfm 12" fans and a custom made shroud. I run with one fan around town and both fans when stuck in traffic. Runs in the 180 range with both fans when in thick traffic on a hot summer day. The rad, the support and the shroud have all been painted body color with House of Kolor paint to match the car. The cage within the car is from Art Morrison but has a few custom touches to fit it tight to the headliner. It was designed to be removable and can be taken out with very minimal work so that's not a problem. It's not tagged yet but can be done at anytime to meet NHRA certification. The car is capable of a 10.5 second quarter mile and hooks up very well. I has not been down the track yet but is track ready should the new owner decide to race the car on a given weekend.

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
