You are looking at an incredible 1956 Chevy Bel Air 2 door sedan. This car has it's original 265 V8 engine and a 3 speed manual transmission with shift on the column. The engine is numbers matching, and I have the original paperwork to prove it. This car has not been restored! It is in amazing original condition! She is Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige, and these are the original colors. I was lucky enough to find the car in Franklin Square, NY last year. I had the car appraised by a specialist, and he was amazed by the condition of the car. He believes it to be all original, except he said that the front fenders look like they have been re-sprayed many years ago. I have a full documented report from the appraiser, and I will give it to the new owner. The car has all of it's original equipment, and everything works, except for the clock in the dash. Even the AM tube radio works! It has the dealer installed window washer squirters, the remote spot light, and the optional rubber floor mats. The seats and armrests are showing some wear, please see the pics. This car runs and drives extremely well. I do drive it and enjoy it. The motor starts right up, and runs super smooth. The clutch feels perfect, and the transmissin shifts great. The 4 wheel drum brakes work well, considering they are manual drums!
The car has been extremely well kept over the years. The 2 previous owners had the car in climate controled garages. The car was undercoated, and I believe that helped the car stay so nice. All body panels look to be 100% original. The floor pans and inner and outer rockers look great, with zero rust. The body mounts look great too. Even the bottoms of the doors have no rust, it is just amazing how clean this car still is. The paint is still nice, some of the gold is thin in spots, but it has the right to be, it is 57 years old. The stainless trim is in amazing shape, and looks great. The chrome is nice, but is a little dull in spots. The doors open and close perfectly, with zero effort. All of the windows roll down properly also. The exhaust system was replaced recently, as well as the front engine mounts, and the idler arm. It also has a modern battery in it. The 265 V8 has a 2 barrel carb, and single exhaust.
I bought this car with every intension of making it into a pro-touring resto mod with an LS-1, a 6-speed, big wheels, and 4 wheel disc brakes. I now realize that this car is way too nice and too important to ever modify it. It really is special. The appraiser yelled at me, and told me that the car is a time capsule, and should be stored in a climate controled bubble, and not driven. I am not willing to do that, so I am looking to move on, but I want the car to go to a good home. I do know that the current trend in the collector car hobby is about un-restored survivor cars, so I am sure someone will really apreciate this old girl. Please look at the pics. This car is not perfect, it is NOT restored, it is 57 years old, and in amazing shape for it's age. I feel that you should come and stand in front of the car, before you make any opinions about it. I will be happy to show anyone the car, if you are a serious buyer.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
