Up for sale is a custom 2 door 1955 Chevy Wagon street rod I bought out of southern California.

This car was built for Audiobahn to showcase their stereo equipment at car shows and the body on restored car looks amazing! It was featured in magazines and I have one that will sell with the car. Featured are Audiobahn 18 inch subs with ten speakers total. In the back are three amps powering the speakers and there is a new Kenwood KDC 448U tuner.

A lot of subtle changes have been made during the build process (note the quarter windows are taken out). I was told the paint and body work was $15,000.00 and I have no reason to doubt that. Time was taken making the body seams align properly. The chrome and stainless look perfect with no patina. All the rubber looks new, no rattles and the doors close better than any car I've owned. There is a patch panel on the driver side floor board, otherwise it is rust free under the car.

My wagon rolls on Colorado Customs 18" rims with BF Goodrich 245-40-18 tires in great condition. The car has been lowered giving it just that right stance. Colorado Customs also built a matching steering wheel mated to an ididit steering column.

You'll have power rack and pinion steering, power disc brakes and power windows. The interior is black leather. A B&M shifter shifts the 350 turbo trans that is mated to a 350 engine that is well dressed with polished intake, new Holley carb, polished alternator and a polished air conditioner compressor (not hooked up). March serpentine belt and pulleys turn the accessories.

An aluminum radiator with electric fan keep the car cool with no problems over heating.

The ride is very smooth, stops great with the disc brakes and the motor runs strong.

I have the car insured for $40,000.00 and it's worth it. Buy this one at a fraction of what it's worth. I'm not looking to trade. I can no longer drive to car shows and the car is just sitting in the garage.

You can reach me at 256-446-9646 or 256-412-3824. I will help in loading the car or maybe meet you half way if it's not too far.

I would seriously consider enclosed transport.....the car is that nice!

Bid with confidence. The car is exactly as listed. Draw a crowd wherever you stop. If you buy the car you will not be dissapointed.

The turn signals haven't been hooked up after the steering column was installed. I've had 2 neck surgeries and can't get under the dash to hook it up. Sorry this wasn't in the original listing.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
