Here's a 1955 Chevy 210 2 door project that comes with a 1955 Chevy 4 door that is being used as a donor. You will get both of them. The 2 door was hit in the rear end up high years ago. It damaged the rear of the 1/4's and the trunk. I have swapped out the rear clip from the 4 door. My plans were to make a Two Lane Blacktop car. As you can see it still needs a lot of body work and rust repair. You will also get it's steering column and sector, back glass, most all the chrome but no side door and quarter pieces. I think all the garnish mouldings are there. The front drums are there but no bearings. Windshield is broke. Still has it's pedals and Z-bar. This project still needs sheetmetal work. You will get all the 55 Chevy parts in the photos as well as anything not in the photos that go with the 55. I can load this on your trailer.I have a current Iowa title in my name. I have this for sale locally and may end it early. Comes with a pair of 15 x 10 mags. I can store for a while as long as it's paid for in full. Must be paid in full by 7 days. You WILL NEED A TRAILER as this has no motor or tranny. Please email questions if you have any. And you must make contact with me at the end of the auction. If you have low feedback (0 to 15) you must make contact with me or I will cancel your bids !! This is LOCAL PICK UP ONLY. If you want a transport to pick it up YOU make all the arrangments and pay for it.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
