Up For Auction 1955 Bel-Air custom 4 door wagon.

The car was assembled in Atlanta Georgia. My wifes parents bought the car in 1960 at Rancho Chevrolet in Reseda Calif.
She received the car in 1967 for graduation. The wagon stayed stock until 1991 when we decided to start restoring it. 
The resto was completed in Aug 1993.
The wagon now resides in Prescott Az.

This was a frame on resto. The body and interior was stripped to bare metal. The front floor pans were replaced. I then covered the floors with 6oz fiberglass cloth to keep any future water off the metal.
The body and roof were amazingly straight and required little blocking. 
The paint is 1989 Chevrolet Artic White with blue added for that extra snow blind white.
Paint and body was done at Johnnie's Mini's and customs in Canyon Country Ca.
The interior is a 4" biscutt using a 1998 Toyota grey waffle weave.
A tonnue covers the cargo area.

This engine was installed in 1999, is a 327 bored .10 over with a what I call an RV cam. putting out 300 H/P.
A 350 turbo with a stage one shift kit sends the power to the stock rear end.
A 625 Carter AFB ( aluminum four barrel) is bolted to a Wiend Intake.
Mallery Unilite distributer. 
Mattson crossflow aluminum radiator with Spal electric fan. (mech. fan  also on water pump)  With the electric fan running the car stays at 170-180 degree's. Two pints of Redline Water Wetter keeps it COOL.

The wagon still has the original steering. It was rebuilt and steers and handles beautifully.
Power disc/drum brakes stop the wagon.

When we restored the car, A/C kits were not on the market, so I never installed one.

Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires are mounted on Crager S/S 15x8 rims.

There is 123,900 original miles on the car with aproxamenttaly 15,000 since the restore.

If your looking for a cool family hot rod, or the coolest soccer mom car, this is it. 

Has a clear Az. title. 
Car and title will be released when funds clear my bank. Buyer responsible for transportation.
Cashiers check from a national bank or wire transfer.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
