Well I have been trying to sell my Steel Willys and can't find a buyer yet so something has to go. I will be listing one of my favorites but this is not a cheap car. It is gonna take a good bid to get this one. I am not interested in trades for the car except maybe for one thing. A 70-72 Cuda Convertible, that might be the only thing.
This is a beautiful fram off restored 1956 BelAir convertible. It has approx 9,000 miles since a complete restoration. The car has a 454 mild built motor, not sure on the internals but it has a smooth idle and good pick up. It is backed up by a rebuilt Turbo 350 Transmission that has about 2500 miles oon it. I converted it from a 4 speed a couple years back. It still has the clutch pedal and hyraulic set up to turn back to a stick shift. The car has a newer model subframe on it which I was told from a nova. It has power front disc brakes and a 10 bolt rear end. Rear air shocks. It has a highway gear and goes about 80mph at 2500 RPMs. It has a nicely detailed engine bay with a smoothed firewall and all wires tucked away. IT has power steering and an aluminum radiator. IT has an optima battery mounted in the trunk. The interior is done nicely with a fake leatehr material with an osterich type of insert. IT has later model bucket seats which are very comforaible. IT has an early model counsole out of a Chevy with a Lokar shifter in it. The dash is painted nicely with aftermarket guages. IT has a new radio with ipod hook up designed to look like original radio. The 2 tone paint is done very nicely with a clear coat and I would rate it very nice driver quality, not a show car. I do drive it on nice days only. IT has an aftermarket cowl scoup on a steel hood. There are minor chips and little scratch here or there. The bumpers are all new remanufactured. IT has a very nice Hartx cloth top which looks great on the car. It is a manual top. The rims are coys with 20's on the back and 18's on the front.
You won't find a nicer 56 BelAir then this one and it is a great investment.
Thanks

GM might outsource vans to AM General
Thu, Nov 26 2015General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
