Up for auction is my beautiful 1955 Chevy. This car was found in a barn after stored there for over 20 years. It had one repaint and the body was about 98% rust free. The car was then taken to a professional restoration shop were it was mini tubbed. The wheel wells were widened 2 3/4" to make them flush with the frame. All the metalwork on the wheel wells was butt welded (Not overlapped) Like most people do. The metalwork is perfect. At the same time the spare tire well was removed and the trunk floor was modified to make the gas tank centered in the trunk to make room for exsaust. Again the metal work was done to perfection. When you look in the trunk you cant tell anything was done. Looks completely stock. A brand new 9" Ford rear replaced the original it has 31 spline axles and a 3:70 posi center section. The rear is mounted with a leaf spring relocation kit that moves the springs up inside the frame. Also new 3" dropped Posie springs were used. The rear wheels are 15x10 American Racing Torq Thrusts with Hosier 29x12.5 radial tires. At the same time the entire front suspension was rebuilt with all new bushings and ball joints. A new dropped spindle / disc brake kit was added from TCI along with dropped coil springs. This car sits really low! I get compliments all the time on the stance of this car. The original 3 speed was replaced with a muncie M22 close ratio 4 speed that has been completly rebuilt. The car had a 283 engine in it that I just replaced this spring with a brand new 450+ HP 383 Stroker. The engine features a complete Edelbrock RPM topend kit including aluminum heads, RPM Airgap intake and Performer RPM cam. This engine has a ton of power and sounds awesome. Cam has a really nice lumpy sound! The carburator is a Holley 770 double pumper with electric choke. The distributor is a MSD pro billet. The car has a top of the line Grifith aluminum radiator with 1 1/4 tubes. Always runs cool. never higher than 180. The interior was completly redone about 8 years ago and still looks really nice. The body is in really good shape. It only needed one small floor section replaced on the passenger side front. It was butt welded in and you can't tell it was done. Everything underneth is original and rust free! All the floor pans and braces are perfect! This is a really good car. The white paint was redone about 8 years ago. At that time all the glass was pulled out and was replaced with all new smoked grey tint glass and and the rubber seals and window channels were replaced with new. Also while the glass was out all of the stainless trim on the whole car was professionally straightened and polished to a miror finish. The green paint on the car was just redone this year. It is the original Neptune green color. I get compliments on the color all the time. The paint job is very nice but not perfect. This is a very nice driver. Not a show car. I wanted a car that looks really good but I didn't want a car I had to be scared to drive and I didn't want $100,000 55' Chevy. This car is so much fun to drive and it looks really good. It's a car that you can keep inproving over time. My next project on the car was going to be cleaning up and painting the engine compartment. That would be the bigest thing left to do on the car. I was planning on doing that this winter. Im sure I forgot a lot. But you can email me questions or call me at 717-490-4851. There will be a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Thanks

I just uploaded another group of pictures that are better quality and can be blown up so you can see better details of the car. The new pictures are after the ones I posted originally. Thanks |

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance
Thu, Aug 7 2014Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
