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. |

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power
Tue, Sep 5 2017The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
