1956 Chevy Nomad
If you know your Nomads, then you know what you are looking at. These are highly desirable cars and getting harder to find every day.This car was professionally built in California. I had it shipped to Texas two years ago. This is the 4th Nomad I have owned in 5 years. Every one has been sold because I got an offer I just could not refuse. It's nearly impossible to find a Nomad like this one. Most are either projects or show cars that you would be afraid to drive. This Nomad was built from a frame-off restoration of a near perfect original car.
This car features......
GM 350 Ramjet crate motor - factory GM pulley system - 700R4 trans - custom aluminum radiator with duel electric fans - 4-wheel disc brakes - Curry rear end with polished housing with 3:89 gears - ps - pb - pw- chrome tilt column - Autometer guages with chrome bezel - 17" Torq Thrust II wheels with 245-45's up front and 255-55's in the back - brand new repro interior - Vintage Air - gas shocks on the back window - dropped spindles and dropped springs up front - dropped leaf springs with traction bars out back - 10-disc CD changer and power amp under the back seat with remote under the dash.
The car had just 600 miles on it when I purchased it from the last owner, who had it built professionally in California. There is no rust on this car. As you can see in the undercarriage pictures, the body was removed from the frame when it was built. I have a stack of receipts from Danchuk Industries. Nearly every single piece on this car is new. This car starts, runs and drive perfectly. The engine runs at 180-185 and does not overheat in traffice. The 700R4 overdrive trans shifts firm and goes into overdrive at 45 mph, like it should. The 4-wheels disc brakes are perfectly adjusted and the car drives straight. It does not pull to one side. From the moment you sit in the driver's seat, you know how well this car is built. I have driven the car approximately 1,700 trouble-free miles since I bought it, including two 500-mile trips to the GoodGuys show in Ft. Worth. You can fly in a drive this car home with no worries whatsoever. This car is SOLID and totally roadworthy.
Things to note - There is a nasty scratch on top of the car in the back (see picture). I accidentally opened the garage door while the car was on the lift. The scratch is down to the primer, NOT down to the metal. My painter says this is a $200 fix - relatively cheap, since the paint if not metallic. He is way across town and I have not had time to take the car in. The radio in the dash is a cheap cassette deck and is not connected. The CD changer and power amp are under the back seat and are not connected to the power supply. This is because the battery was in a box in the rear fender well, but I have recently relocated the battery back to the firewall. The line just needs to be ran to the battery under the hood. I have never turned the CD player on, but I have no reason to believe that it doesn't work. I am sure that it works fine.
As you can see, the builder chose to block off the panel to the spare tire well. I have the trim pieces should you wish to add that panel back. I also have a set of stainless rocker guars and two fender bird trim pieces that will go with the car
I am not a dealer. I buy and sell vintage cars as a hobby. I am selling this Nomad because I am moving and will not have room to keep it indoors. The previous owner spent nearly 80K on this car, but my reserve is WAY below that. Please ask questions before you bid. I am not interested in any trades, so please don't ask. I have a clear Texas title in hand. I will expect full payment within 72 hours of the end of the auction and I can store the car indoors until you arrange shipping or you can fly in and drive it home. I have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I will only accept a bank draft or certified bank check. There is no warranty expressed, implied or otherwise. Don't let this one get away. I don't expect the auction to last very long. Thanks for your interest.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally
Wed, Apr 22 2015Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe
Thu, Oct 16 2014BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
