      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!

The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.

Chevy confirms 2016 Camaro will have wheels, brakes

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Good news, everyone! Chevrolet has issued yet another round of teaser images and information about the sixth-generation Camaro, set to debut in Detroit on May 16. This time around, Chevy's teaser images confirm that the new car will not only have wheels and tires (Goodyear Eagle F1s, no less), but brakes as well. On top of that, we now know that the new Camaro will be 28-percent stiffer than the outgoing model. "The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly," GM said in a press release, which you can read below. We've already learned that the new coupe will be 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, has a bunch of unique parts, and according to GM's Mark Reuss, will outperform the Ford Mustang in every way. Now, it's only a matter of time before we see the sixth-gen Camaro, but surely not before Chevy issues even more teasers and information. Related Video: 2016 Camaro is Stronger, Lighter and More Responsive Computer aided engineering contributes to 28 percent greater structural stiffness DETROIT – The engineering team spent 9 million hours of computational time honing the driving experience of the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro before the first prototype turned a wheel. The structural modeling led to the Gen 6 Camaro being 28 percent stiffer than the current model. "The modeling abilities of computer aided engineering are advancing at incredible rates," said Jim Karlavage, Camaro program engineering manager. "Today, we can accurately model opportunities to add torsional strength without adding unnecessary mass. The result is a lighter, stiffer structure that benefits every aspect of the driving experience." The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly. "The structural weight savings are compounded by opportunities to reduce un-sprung weight," said Karlavage.

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015!
