1956 Chevrolet Convertible

Of all the classics we have owned this is by far the best quality and the most eye pleasing one we have handled to date. This is a fresh, just completed frame off restoration. When we traded for it it was about 90% finished. We finished the car and have driven it as to work out all the bugs. This one is about as close to perfect as they get.

The odometer cluster was rebuilt then set to zero. Car had six tenths of a mile at time of trade. Car now has only one hundred twenty miles. It's new and fresh

The paint work is of show quality. 56 Chev colors Harbor Blue and Nassau Blue. The new convertible top is Harbor Blue. New padding and new back window. The interior is all new and dead on the original. Carpet is new as is everything else.

All works on the car with exception of radio. We have tubes to make radio work-they came with car. We have blue seat belts not yet installed that come with car. Horn blows, all gauges work, speedometer works, all top components are new and it works fine. Yes original factory clock does work. All chrome is awesome quality. All the stainless is highly polished to show quality. All wiring is new, All nuts and bolts used throughout are new and all new under hood. Looking down the sides of her-she is straight. All stainless is straight.

Driving this car is fun. rebuilt original numbers matching motor and transmission were rebuilt. It starts, runs, and drives as good as any. New carburator and even a new air cleaner. They added the early style Corvette valve covers and as pictures show a high dollar aluminum radiator. If painted black it looks dead on the the original radiator. The engine compartment looks great and ready to be judged at any show.

All the exhaust is new, very quiet. All new exhaust, all new brakes, new bearings, all new bushings and rubber seals have been replaced. Top Notch restoration. I can't think of much that this car needs. Just hit the key and go.

As pictures show the bottom of car was finished out nicely and it also shows off the bright new gas tank. New gas lines, new brake lines, all new hangers and new fittings. I could rattle on and on forever about this beauty but the proof is in the pudding. Try to come to Lawrenceburg IN and check it out. It don't get any better than this. Be the first to enjoy a fresh restoration. If you bid and you are the winner and when you come to claim and you don't like it NOT a problem!!! Don't pay, we could careless. We will still give you good feedback and buy your lunch.

We used this car in a wedding and in order to make this car match the others we put on four new tires mounted on four new American Racing Wheels, neat set up. Some do prefer wide white walls. The w.w.w. tires are nice, Wheels painted harbor blue. Original hub caps have been redone with all new decals.

So it is your choice, you can have the four mags or the four w.w.w. with original 56 hub caps, your CHOICE

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
