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

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
