1955 Chevrolet Bel Air on 2040-cars
Valparaiso, Florida, United States
1955 Chevy Bel Air two door post. I bought this car about 20 years ago in Alabama with the hopes of fixing it up but I'm in the military and just haven't had the time. I've spent a lot of time and money on it over the years but as you can see, I've let it sit around too long this time and it needs attention by someone who has the time. Drivetrain: 383 stroker, 350 turbo and 3.23 10 bolt posi rear-end. Engine NOT running, will turnover and start but won't stay running - Rack and pinion power steering - Front disc brakes - Chrome tilt steering column. (starting to pit from sitting around) - Duel exhaust - 2" drop springs on the front, installed urethane bushings years ago - Griffin 4 core aluminum radiator Negatives: - Has 383 stroker that was professionally built about 15 years ago. I haven't driven this car in over 2 1/2 years so I'm NOT claiming it runs or drives(but sure it will with some work). I can say I've only put around 4-5 thousand miles on it. - Will need complete interior, what you see in pictures is what will be included - Will need body work, front floor pans(see pictures) . I stripped this car down to bare metal and used spray can primer to cover bare metal. I'm almost 100% sure that the quarters, floor, rocker panels and trunk are original. Left side front fender in in excellent condition, Hood is in good condition, right side front fender is in fair condition, right door is in poor condition(I pulled creases out but would probably re-skin), left rear quarter panel has rot in front of wheel well, right rear quarter panel is in good shape(a little bondo), trunk is in decent shape, a little rot on inside weld seem, trunk is decent, has rot in back half(see pictures), roof will need work right above drivers door(see picture) Positives: - All stainless is there and in really good shape, I removed it all 20 years ago and stored inside. - Bought pretty much all chrome and emblems brand new and it's all still in like new condition in boxes to include: At least $2,000 in chrome parts 10 piece triple chrome bumper 4 piece grill surround(top and bottom pieces got damp somehow so they're not in brand new condition but still very nice) Hood Bird Headlight bezels Parking light bezels Taillight bezels with solid red lens Bel Air scripts Door handles Wiper bezels Gold crests All window felts trunk seal I replace all the glass in the car with smoked tinted glass but a vandal busted the passenger side windows. Front/back windshield and driver side glass is in great shape. VIN: C 55N041181 Cowl Tag: Style 55-1011D Body N 5689 Trim 531 Paint 627 I'm sure I'm missing a lot of stuff so feel free to contact me for more information or pictures. |

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
