Hey Everyone!
Looking to sell this great 56 Handyman. Recently pulled the car from storage and I've been working towards having it on the road for my own pleasure. I've come to a place where I have absolutely no time to continue working on it. If your looking for a classic car to have as a daily driver, this is the car for you. It's far from show quality, but it's a solid 20-footer. As it sits right now, it turns over, fires, and runs. The transmission was serviced before the car went into storage around 5 years ago and the rear axle is a late 80's GM 10bolt with a 3.73:1 gearset. There is a vacuum leak and as a result the car dies off below 1400 rpm. It has an MSD control box, coil, and distributor (vacuum advance), and all are brand new as of April 2013 as well as the water pump. It's pulling fuel through a Holley 600cfm carb with vacuum secondary and electric choke, rebuilt in April 2013. The car has an electric fuel pump in place of the mechanical and I've installed an OEM style fuel tank as the previous one needed replacing. The tank, sending unit, and mounting hardware are all brand new as of April 2013. The car is fitted with a 4-wheel power disc brake conversion kit from Classic Performance Products (CPP), and 2 inch drop spindles up front. The rear brake lines still need to be plumbed from the proportioning valve to the calipers; I have the remaining parts in storage to be included in sale. The rear lugs need adjustment; the company that installed them did a sorry job and there are some lug nuts that will not go on. There is an 18-circuit Painless wiring harness, unfortunately after a few years in storage there seems to be a draw on the system which I do not have the time to troubleshoot. The motor needs a tune-up; it burns some oil. The original gauge cluster was broken beyond repair, I've installed a set of Autometer gauges of the following types: MPH, RPM, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Fuel, and Battery. The turn indicator switch needs to be replaced in order for the blinkers to be serviceable. The car is fitted with 2 bucket seats in the front and there is no back seat. The headliner is in perfect shape and the interior walls are upholstered with a simple gray tuck-n-roll. Tires are in good shape. All of the window mechanisms work, although not perfectly. The rear bumper had been removed before I purchased it and a rollpan was installed in its place. Car is missing trim bar spanning the forward edge of the hood.
Mileage is unknown.
All in all this is a great car that just needs a little attention in just the right places to be the perfect cruiser:
Chevy 350
TH350 Transmission
GM 10bolt axle with 3.73 gears
New water pump
New MSD ignition
New plugs and plug wires
Rebuilt Holley Carburetor
Sanderson Headers, shorties
Dual, side exhaust (Flowmaster 40 series)
Transmission cooler
Aluminum radiator
4-wheel, power disc brakes
2-inch drop spindles
Painless wiring harness
Autometer gauges
Car is being sold as is. I will not ship, you must arrange pickup.
Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to sending this car off to a great new home.

GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk
Thu, Jul 9 2015An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software.

The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
