1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 Door Hard Top Sport Coupe on 2040-cars

Year:1955 Mileage:24958
Location:

Henderson, Nevada, United States

Henderson, Nevada, United States

This is a very unique 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe hardtop. It is a great running 2 door hardtop, with everything original and in great condition. This car was produced in LA and is a west coast car with original patina and no rust anywhere. Not a single bubble, leak or rust hole underneath. The drive train is original as is the entire undercarriage, well maintained. The radio is not working, nor is the clock. The passenger door window has a crack and there is a small quarter sized dent in the deck lid. Other than that it is missing nothing. It is also the power option Sport Coupe with Power Steering and Power brakes. We are changing the carpet to correctly match the color scheme. We are also adding new weather-strip on both doors. The car has been fully inspected and the inspection report will go to the new owner. Nothing found mechanically to be repaired. It has just ad a tune up. As you van see from the pictures it is in very, very good shape. Check out the test drive video below.

Stock engine, and optional 2 speed trans. the 265, does have an edelbrock intake and steel braided heater lines. This car is not the 150 0r 210. It is a real Sport Coupe Hardtop with all the options. The heater works, the windshield wipers work, all of the gauges work as do the lights inside and out. it has been garage kept and maintained for many years. It is not a restored car but an original Bel Air. Dual exhaust and the paint was done about 10 years ago. It has a free and clear Nevada Title and will not last long.

Please ask questions, if you have them. It has a reserve, so please don't ask about the reserve unless you are serious and actively bidding. Terms are as follows...$500 non refundable deposit via pay pal at auction completion. The balance is due within 7 days of auction close, in cash, cashiers check, bank wire transfer o.k. Shipping is the responsibility of the new owner, but we can assist with that. The car must be picked up within 14 days of auction close, or reasonable storage can be arranged.

People ask all the time why is it being sold. This car has been enjoyed by a Bel Air lover for many years now. He is retired and wants to start traveling so it is time to let someone else enjoy it.

Good luck and thank you for looking.

It is an auction, we will not discuss the reserve unless you are an active bidder. It will sell and we want it to go to someone who will appreciate it an enjoy it.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
