Ready to Cruise


Being offered is a nice 1956 Chevrolet that is ready to jump into and cruise. This is a car that has lines that are timeless and is appreciated by everyone who looks at it.  Take yourself back to a time when life was simpler and cars had style to spare.  The car is driver quality, although this car is not likely to win a car show it is very presentable  and is mechanically complete and ready to cruise. This is a turn key car and one of the most desirable Chevrolet’s ever produced.  This is one of those opportunities to own a vehicle and not lose any money.  Take a look at our feedback and buy with no worries.  As always we encourage pre-bid inspections and phone calls if you have any questions.

 

Interior Highlights


The interior of this vehicle is in great shape as can be seen in the pictures.  The black vinyl interior is set off by the awesome dash and the oodles of chrome that we don't see in the cars of today.  The dash is in great shape with bright hardware and a full compliment of original gauges.  The interior of the car is full of timeless accessories and hardware that are all in great shape and really add to the classic feel of this vehicle.  The vehicle is equipped with a radio.  The pictures tell the rest of the story, the interior is only one highlight of this vehicle.


Exterior Highlights

  

The exterior of the car is finished in very sharp burgundy paint, body was stripped to the metal prior to painting and a base coat clear coat finish was applied. We would consider the paint somewhere between driver quality and show quality.  The paint is set off by the body lines of one of the most desirable chevrolets ever built as well as the numerous painted or chrome details that really set the car off.  The body of the car is very straight and the fit on the car is very good. the doors open and close without issues. The exterior has the awesome body lines that are from a time when cars had style and flare.  The vehicle is equipped with one piece california style painted bumpers that are in great shape. The vehicle is equipped with rally wheels with good tires.  All exterior hardware is in tact and for the most part in very nice shape, there is some pitting on the door handles, light bezels, and front grill. The vehicle has new hood and trunk emblems.  The stainless on the car is in very good shape.  The glass on the car is in great shape, the rear window has some scratches in it but is not cracked.  The car, as the pictures indicate, is stunning to look and is a real head turner.


Mechanical Highlights

This vehicle is equipped with a 327 small block chevrolet engine with an M20 4-speed muncie transmission.  The vehicle starts, runs, drives, and stops as it should.  The car has a nice vintage hot rod sound and is a very good driver. The vehicle has new 2 1/2” exhaust with flow master style exhaust, the car sounds great.  This is a car you can buy and get immediate satisfaction out of as it is ready to go, this is an ideal cruise in car and would be fine to take to shows but not likely a show winner but something you could be very proud of.


The odometer reads 62,389 miles, the title reads exceeds mechanical limits.

Wipers not not working

Radio not working

Gas Gauge not working

Horn not working

2016 Chevy Volt rated at 106 MPGe, 53 miles of pure EV range

Tue, Aug 4 2015

Following a string of rumors, Chevrolet and the Environmental Protection Agency have released official fuel economy numbers for the second-generation Volt. As was reported earlier today, the new and improved hybrid will cover 53 miles on pure electric power. As Chevy tells it, first-gen Volt owners cover about 80 percent of their mileage on EV power alone, so the 40-percent increase from the second-gen should lead to an even bigger reduction in gas-powered Volt mileage. Chevy expects some 90 percent of mileage to come from a plug with its new 2016 model. This newfound EV range comes thanks to the 2016 Volt's 18.4-kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery. Rated at 106 MPGe by the feds – exactly what was promised by a June leak – the 2016 Volt improves nicely on the current model's 17.1-kWh, 98-MPGe battery back. There's also a marked improvement when relying on the gas-powered on-board generator. The 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine will happily run on regular fuel and return a still-impressive 42 miles per gallon combined rating once the battery's state of charge is depleted. Expect the freeway to cruise to be even better, although Chevy isn't ready to say by how much. Fully charged and with a full tank, drivers should expect to cover 420 miles, a 40-mile improvement over the current model. Scroll down for the official press release from Chevrolet Related Video: The Results Are In: More Range for the 2016 Volt EPA-estimated pure electric range is 53 miles DETROIT – The 2016 Volt is engineered to offer customers more of what they want: range, range and more range. The Volt's all-new second-generation Voltec extended range electric propulsion system delivers 53 miles of pure EV range, based on EPA testing. That is nearly a 40-percent improvement over the first generation Volt. Chevrolet expects many next-generation Volt owners will use power solely from their battery for more than 90 percent of trips. Today, Volt owners use battery power on 80 percent of their trips. This means that the average Volt owner may expect to travel well over 1,000 miles between gas fill ups, if they charge regularly. For the first 53 miles, the Volt can drive gas and tailpipe-emissions free using a full charge of electricity stored in its new 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery, which is rated at a combined 106 MPGe, or gasoline equivalent. When the Volt's battery runs low, a gas-powered generator seamlessly operates to extend the driving range for a total of 420 miles on a full tank.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado

Sat, Oct 9 2021

During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan

Wed, Mar 15 2017

GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.
