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.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
