1955 Chevrolet BelAir
This is a very solid example of a 55. This is a true BelAir car that originally was a 6 cylinder The paint is 30 years old and shows as such. It looks great for a driver but it has the normal dings and nicks that you would expect from 30 years of enjoyment. It also allows you to see how solid the body is on this 55. It does have a small amount of rust in the dog legs of the two rear floor braces. Everything else on this car is in great shape or new. Everything from the radiator to the rear end is new or rebuilt. It has a new aluminum Griffin radiator and shroud with electric fan. A fresh 454 with Winters aluminum heads, roller rockers and a hydraulic camshaft. It has a Victor Jr. intake, Holley carburetor, MSD distributor and Mallory ignition. The engine accessories are driven with a March Performance 5 rib pulley system. All of this is monitored on Auto Meter gauges. The transmission is a fresh M21 4 speed with new clutch and flywheel connected to a posi 3:36 stock housing rear. The wheels are American Racing Hopsters in 17'' with a staggered tire setup. The interior is in great shape and shows well. All of the front and rear supension and steering have been rebuilt. This car drives very good and is very tight! It has disc brakes up front with a power booster and master cylinder and GM style proportioning valve. It has a new steering box and lines with front and rear sway bars. You must drive and see this car to appreciate what it actually is. All of the glass and trim are nice with the exception of the bumpers, they are a little weak. Very solid car that’s ready to be driven or further the restoration. Paint and bumpers would complete the restoration on this one, or you could just get out and drive it with no concerns of picking up a chip here or there! Give us a call for more details at 615-220-9000 and ask for Brian. We welcome you to come and see the car for yourself at anytime during the auction.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Nissan Leaf hits 3,000 sales in July, Chevy Volt climbs over 2,000
Fri, Aug 1 2014It was a good sales month for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, with the two 'elder statesman' plug-in vehicles reaching numerical milestones in July. The Leaf sold 3,019 units and the Volt crossed the 2,000 sales level for the first time in 2014, hitting 2,020 sales. With Tesla also announcing it is delivering around 2,500 Model S EVs a month (but that's globally, compared to the US-only numbers for the Volt and Leaf we're talking about here) and Ford's plug-in vehicles selling well, we are certainly in a golden moment for EV sales. The Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. For the Volt, the 2,020 units sold represents a 13 percent increase from July of 2013 even thought year-to-date sales are down 8.7 percent this year compared to last year. Overall, total Chevrolet deliveries for July 2014 were up eight percent compared to 2013, so the Volt was a bright spot for the Bowtie brand last month. On the Leaf front, this is only the second time that the EV has sold more than 3,000 units in a month (the other being in May of this year). The year-over-year increase for the Leaf was 62 percent in July and represents the 17th straight month of record sales, as Nissan is more than happy to report each month. Overall, Leaf sales are up 34.6 percent, year-to-date, and Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said in a statement that a free public charging incentive was responsible. "Since we launched the No Charge to Charge promotion in the first 10 markets, we've seen a surge in Leaf sales in those areas. Leaf sales in the northeastern US are also picking up with new tax incentives for Massachusetts and Maryland residents." With No Charge To Charge set to expand to 25 markets over the next year, we expect Leaf sales to continue to grow. We will have our monthly look at all green car sales available soon, so stay tuned.
