1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 Door Sedan - 76k Original Miles on 2040-cars
Madison, Alabama, United States
|
1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door sedan, 3 owner car, bought new
in Huntsville, AL, 76K original miles.
This car is still equipped with its original power pack 4 barrel engine,
power glide transmission, and AM radio.
This car has been in dry storage since 1983.
I got the car a few years ago. It needed some TLC, after having sat for a couple of decades. I pulled the engine and transmission out to replace rusty freeze plugs, cleaned out the water jackets, replace broken transmission mounts. I also installed an aftermarket aluminum radiator and rebuilt the brake system hydraulics. The carburetor had been rebuilt in its past, so engine just needed a tune up, and clean gas to start up, which I did. The engine purrs just like it should. The power glide leaks badly but works fine. Transmission needs to be resealed, it shifts just fine. Car has a new aluminum radiator, new battery, new brake
master cylinder, new gas tank, and new rear brake shoes (still in the box) that
come with the car. The car now has four black 15 x 6 steel wheels and tires with 1500 miles on them. See the picture of the black wheel with the Kumho tires; these are on all four corners now. Car has three small rust areas. Small holes in the driver's side floor board, a small section of the right rear trunk floor, and the trunk pan area. Front and rear bumpers are present, but stored in the attic. No significant rust or dents on the bumpers. Car was partially disassembled in preparation for paint, but never got painted. I believe all of the trim is with the car, but the mounting clips, etc. may be missing. This car needs a good home. I will not separate parts from the car. Serious inquiries only. Car can be driven onto a car trailer, etc but is NOT legal or safe to drive on the street as is. I did, however, drive it up to 50 mph last weekend. I have an Alabama registration in my name and buyer will get a notarized bill of sale. Alabama does not title cars this old. The registration and bill of sale is sufficient to get buyer a title in states that issue titles for 1956 vintage cars. This is a great father – son project, a weekend tinker project, or a full blown restoration project. You could continue the disassembly for a complete restoration, or spend a weekend putting the car back together and drive it as is. I am reluctantly selling this car for health reasons. I might be interested in a trade for US coins, US WWII vintage military decorations, or a small truck (like an S-10) of equal value. I do not want a project truck, I am getting rid of my projects. Let me know what you have; the worst that can happen is that I will say no.
Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. I will assist as needed. |

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority
Sat, Jul 18 2015Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06
Tue, Nov 25 2014The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
