      Welcome to our listing for this Very Unique 1956 Chevrolet Belair 2DR HDTP Custom. This amazing Belair has a few outstanding and creative custom touches that you just don't see everyday. The Headlights and Tailights have been Frenched. The radio antenna was also frenched. The door handles have been shaved and a new "door popper" was installed to easily open the door. The hood and deck lid have also been shaved and finally a custom grille was added for the final touch. All these featured combined gives this 1956 Belair a very tasteful and outstanding look. There is also a custom "bra" (not shown) for those extended trips to keep the Belair safe from bugs and rocks. Finally we will include a custom car cover (not shown) to keep the Belair clean while your not out crusing the streets.

     The interior features custom upholstered  front bucket seats and the rear bench seat has been covered to match. The custom door panels were fabricated to match the seats and color coordinated carpet was installed.  The seats, door panels, and carpeting are all in very good condition and they look Super.

     The engine is a Chevrolet Small Block 400 CU IN, and the transmission is a automatic 700R. The engine runs perfectly and the transmission shifts smoothly. The engine compartment has had a good amount of chrome added (every car should have a little bling) and the intake is polished. One disclosure is the rear main on the engine is seeping slightly. The Belair also features power front disc brakes to stop the custom efficently.

     The Centerline wheels and BF Goodrich Tires compliment the look and stance of the Belair. The wheels are in great condition and the tires have only a few miles on them.

     The body on the 1956 is realitively straight (remember this is a big car with big panels and is painted black), but I wouldn't call it perfect. The custom work is very tasteful and was done properly. The paint was sanded and buffed to a "smooth high shine" and is very good showing only a few minor flaws, the only ones worth mentioning is on the right hand seam between the rear window and deck lid (see pic) where the paint has couple small bubbles and some chips where the deck lid closes at the bottom. On a scale of 1 to 10 this Belair is a strong 7 to a middle 8. Very Very Good, but not perfect.

     The undercarriage of the Belair is in good condition. There are no signs of holes in the floors, trunk, or on the frame. Remember this is a "driver quality" car and the underside shows signs of the car being driven. This Belair was built to drive and enjoy!

   The VIN on the Belair is an Iowa assigned VIN that reads VC56J141374 control number A19790. It looks like during the restoration the VIN was taken off and misplaced and an assigned number (matching the title VIN) was issued. This Belair has a clean and clear Nebraska title.

     In our opinion this is a "high quality" driver car. This is not a $75,000 nut and bolt restoration. If you are looking for perfect, this is probably not the car for you. If you are looking for a well above average driver quality car that commands a TON of attention, then this is the one you have been waiting to purchase. The previous owner had this car for a little over 4 years and did all the regular maintainence and upgrades.

     Most are asking in well in excess of $30,000 for a similar car. Here is one you can own for under $28,000 and drive it in current condition without having to spend the summer working on the car. The 1956 drives out great and looks amazing cruising down the street. Picture yourself at the local cruise night hanging out with friends and showing them this "Super Custom" that looks much more expensive than the asking price. Then you get the luxury of driving down the boulevard windows down and hearing all the compliments and thumbs up from passers by.

     This car is definately "on the money" and will sell quickly. The last car (1928 Ford Model A Hi-Boy Roadster) sold on e-bay the second day it was listed. This 1956 Belair is priced similar and won't last long. Don't wait! This one will be GONE!

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault Zoe recall, Proterra buses log 2M miles

Fri, Mar 25 2016

Renault is recalling 10,649 examples of its Zoe electric car for potential brake hose failure. Cars built at the company's Flins factory between the Zoe's 2012 introduction and October 6, 2014 - a quarter of all Zoes ever built - are subject to the recall, though no accidents have been reported from rupturing brake lines. Recalled vehicles will have the brake hose positions inspected and, if need be, fixed. Read more from Reuters. Proposed legislation in Massachusetts would make the state even more EV friendly. While the state already encourages EV adoption with a $2,500 rebate incentive, the new bill would give battery electric vehicle drivers HOV lane access. Additionally it would set up a standard building code for EV chargers, and allow EV-only parking spaces. "With decreased gas prices, a 10 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled over the last 20 years, and a carpool rate below the national average, we must address personal vehicle use directly as part of our transportation emissions reduction strategy," says Rep. Frank Smizik. Read more from Teslarati. The New York Daily News has named the 2016 Chevrolet Volt as its "Green Machine of the Year." Seamless operation, peppiness, and a nice suite of equipment make it a top choice for the publication. "The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is all new, inside and out, and takes the plug-in hybrid segment to another level, thanks to its increased EV range, updated cabin, and more efficient gas-powered engine," writes Daily News Autos writer (and all-around good guy) Nick Kurczewski. Honorable mentions go to the Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Toyota Prius, and the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. Read more from the Daily News, or at Clean Technica. Proterra electric buses have accumulated 2 million miles of revenue service. That equals 3,800 tons of carbon emissions that have been prevented and 420,000 gallons of fuel unburned. Proterra says it has 63 buses in service in 15 cities, and that it is ramping up production to meet growing demand. "This latest milestone exemplifies the economic, environmental and civic value of electric mass transit," says Proterra CEO Ryan Popple, "and demonstrates to the transit agencies that diesel - often viewed as a necessary evil - is no longer necessary."

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
