 Nice pearl white 1955 Chevy, 2 door 210.  This car was restored about seven years ago, and basically stored the whole time until I bought it. It has a beautiful red and white, soft, fake leather interior.  The entire interior was redone, including the headliner. It still looks like it was done yesterday, and was definately professionally done, as it is absolutely a beautiful interior. The dash is original, but has a new aftermarket steering wheel, correct for a 55, but just a little smaller than the original.   All glass is in great shape, with just a little fogging on the bottom corners of the windshield. They all roll up and down smoothly.    

 The body was also redone, and painted in nice pearl white. I would rate it a #3 paint job. Although it looks very nice, the painter wasn't as good as the person who did the interior. There has been a little body work done, but is covered well. From 5 feet away it looks flawless, but I don't want to misrepresent the paint job, so I'm stating it is not a professional paint job. I'm no professional judge myself, but the car is extremely straight looking down the sides. There is no rust on the body.  The chrome looks to be original, and in very good condition.  The bumpers also look original, but I may be wrong. They are solid as new, and very nice, but not quite as bright chrome as new.  All doors, trunk, and hood in great shape, and all shut nice and snug.  Rims and tires in excellent condition. 

 This car supposedly has the original 265 V8 engine, rebuilt, and purrs like a kitten. It does have dual exhaust, so sounds really nice. It was originally an automatic car, according to the indicator on the steering column, but it now has a manual Hurst 3 speed on the floor. It runs strong, shifts good, and has a strong clutch. It has a very small 2 barrel carb, maybe even original. I put the big air cleaner on it just to make it look like a 4 barrel. The only fault it has is it"s very cold blooded on cold starts. The choke is not working, so I think that's the problem. Other than that, it needs nothing mechanicaly. It's ready to drive.

 The frame and underside is the ugly part of this car. Although the frame is in good shape, the car has had new drivers floor pans, and they didn't bother to clean up the old metal underneath. The car comes with original drum brakes, front and rear, and no power brakes or steering. It drives very easily, and the brakes work great. I just want you to know it's not updated to disc brakes.  

 Although this is a beautiful car, it does need a little attention. The speedometer does not work, and the turn signal lever is missing from the steering column. It has a new aftermarket radio, but no speakers, so that needs attention also.  I don't know what else I can say about this car. I've tried to be as honest as I can. It's a real beauty, and would win trophies at most local car shows. It's a "turn key' car.  But it's not perfect. I do have it priced accordingly, with what I think is a low reserve.  Forgot to mention, the trunk has been redone very professionally, and looks like new inside.  I can have the car shipped anywhere in the United States very reasonably. If you are overseas, you will be responsible for all shipping costs. I will help every step of the way until the car is at your door.  I require $1,000 deposit immediately after the auction via Pay Pal, and the balance within 7 days. Email me with any questions.Thank you and may God bless you all. Richard     

P.S. Just remembered. Since the speedometer does not work, I have no idea how many miles are actually on the car. The title does say 74,100 actual miles on it, so fix the speedo, which reads 74,128, and there should be no dispute about actual mileage.  The title is clear, and in my name since last November.

CORRECTION: This is NOT a 210 model. It is a 2 door Bel Air hard top. Even says Bel Air on the title. Sorry for the inconvenience, but was thinking of my 1957 Chevy 210, which I will be listing next.   ALSO: I have been getting a lot of emails about the bottom of the car. I tried to add pictures, but 24 is all I'm allowed. The underside is not restored like the rest of the car. The frame is in good shape, it's just the floor pans could have been cleaned up better on the bottom when the car was done. It's very solid. It's just a little dissapointing looking underneath after looking at this beautiful car. Cleaning up the bottom would bring this up to a #2 restored car. Hope this helps. Thanks for all the questions.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
