Up for auction is my 1955 Chevy Bel-Air 4dr sedan project car. This is a real bel-air, not a 210 or 150. The car was taken to the next level by me, it's now time to take a major loss and pass it on for somebody else to take off where I left off as I don't have the time to put into it.
Here are the facts.... 1968 chevy 307 V8 cleaned up and installed. It was from an old man Impala with bout 80k on it. I also replaced the heads with 64-66 Chevy 283/327 heads. It needs another day or so to be made to run. New starter as well. Fuel line has to be ran . (I have a new fuel tank not installed). Obvious adjustments of carb and timing.
Transmission is a mid 70's known good TH350 shorttail. It's installed using a modern SPEEDWAY cross member. I also have purchased the shifter rod to make it work with original column (not connected)
This car is a rare 1955 POWER STEERING CAR. Everything is intact! Hooked up to original generator unit that is worth $400 alone.
Clearly seen this car IS NOT for somebody who cannot do their own welding and body work unless you have cash to pay somebody to do it. 3 of the 4 doors already are just about finshed. The forth one was started and not finished. The hood is sandblasted and is alone with $500 if not more, it's just about MINT, perfect corners and NOT ROTTED. The trunk lid also is sandblasted and needs minor work. Floor work was done already, needs a little more here and there (nothing major). I installed correct driverside floor pan and brace under it as well as two outer rocker panels.
The rear as clearly seen has already been cut out to be replaced. I have $400 of new sheet metal that needs to be welded for the back, including last 8 inches of inside of trunk and the actual outer panel.
I have a one piece original rear bumper that is powercoated silver, I have an original front bumper that needs to be painted or tossed in favor of something else.
The original wiring is in the dash and excellent. I also put new wiring under the hood. Did you notice the headliner??? That 's all brand new with windlace costing me $700 to do so....
As far as seats I have an original seat that is complete and needs to be redone as well as a mint set of 2003 Monte Carlo bucket seats. You are getting BOTH! I have the original top half of rear seat but not the bottom . The seat I purchased was for a 2 door (the bottom section is slighly different) Sold that and found that lower halves for 4 doors are out there and rather reasonable.
Again, my loss your gain. I will never get out of this what I've already put in. IT is now 2013, 2 and 4 doors are very close in value. A correct finished 55 Bel-Air 4dr is in the 26,500k spot according to the latest KRAUSE price guide as a 2dr sedan is at 32,000..... Eyes closed any really decent 4dr goes for $12-18k.
This is the ultimate car for somebody who is handy and can take it to the next level. It's an easy money maker if you are a car flipper. I think this actually should be of interest to the SWEEDS.
I am going to be loading this car chock full of parts, parts and more parts. You are getting more than your moneys worth and beyond here!!!! I have some doubles of items , all is going!!!! I am also going to be bolting the hood, doors, and trunk on for transport purpose.
CAR also sports original NOTCH wheels that are worth about $300-400. Excellent bias ply tires of the day
DON'T THINK BOUT bidding on this car, just bid on it and have the funds ready to go. I am in NY 10920. I DO NOT HAVE time to waste with dreamers. I am taking a loss and will consider a "BUY IT NOW" as long as your funds are where your offer is.
CLEARLY STATED, this VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE PAPERWORK. I will write out a written bill of sale. I can aquire paperwork @600, e-mail me if you wish to have me handle it, or handle it on your own. THE VIN TAG is present and can be read.
Catch me while I am hot to lose this. IF I put one month into to and little cash it will run and drive being worth $6000 unfinished easy. My reserve is a joke and I hope it goes up above and beyond it. If not....well it's going anyway. CAR LISTED TO SELL IT, not to waste time.
TERMS OF SALE.... AS IS/WHERE IS IN NY 10920. Funds in cash if local or, direct deposit, or last option bank check. NO PAY PAL, no personal checks. NO TRADES. Must be paid in 7 days of auctions end. All ZERO bidders are going to be deleted if they NOT contact me to verify bids. Anybody shady is also going to be deleted. I have a local man who can haul within 400 miles. If you are beyond that then find a transporter. Going easy you are spending $1000 if not more coast to coast , so again don't waste my time if you don't have the funds to make the deal.
Thanks and best of luck.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
