1955 Chevy Chevrolet Big Block Gasser Bbc Two Lane Blacktop on 2040-cars
United States
|
The only way to describe this car is two lane black top. This was always a dream of mine to build a car like this. A friend of mine had one in high school and I always dreamed about having one of my own. We just finished the project this last year.Now,because of a tax problem I have to sell it. We worked hard to decide the stance amd look of the car. The car drives and performs extremely well. Everything from the steering box to the front end has all been completely rebuilt. The motor is a stroked 454 fresh out of the machine shop I think the displacement came to 505. A little while back, Hotrod Magazine did a feature on stroking the 454. It has real street able horse power and lots of low end torque. It's way snotty and a blast to drive. My goal was to build street worthy car that was dependable with lots of horsepower. A body shop friend of mine sanded to bare metal and brought the car all the way up the paint is a metallic gray and is very a nice is not a 10 but a solid 8. Is has a close ratio Muscie 4 speed completely rebuilt along with the entire clutch and all new parts. The rear end is a gm 12 bolt posi traction 370 gears new. Still burn out like crazy and won't keep the RPMs up. I have a bunch of kids and my wife insisted that I put air conditioning in the car. So I bought the whole kit new with an entire core support and new fancy radiator from vintage air. All the good stuff. It's still needs to be worked a little but all new system and controls are here. The best part of the car is it is a real 150 not a bel air or a 210. Has the block off radio. I put the stereo in the glove box with an iPod hook up hidden so it still has the look. The interior is really bitchin' it's made from a metallic big metal flake called Polaris so it has the old school look. Front seats are really cool chevelle seats I think with the 64 chrome sides. New rubber and wheels all around Really nice. Battery is in the trunk. Super dependable drive any where turn key. We'll there you have it my dream car that I hope finds a new home that will love and enjoy it like our family has. This is a great deal.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
