1956 Chevy Restomod Pro Touring Style 1955 1957 1958 on 2040-cars
|
1956 Chevrolet 150 mild custom restomod. Clean and clear California title. Originally produced in Los Angeles and has been in the Southern California all its life. This was a rust free desert car which has been completely rebuilt and restored to a high standard with thousands of dollars in receipts documenting the work carried out. Painted in 2006 in that year’s new Dodge Viper red, the shell was first stripped down to the metal then restored and professionally painted inside and out at a cost of $12,700, which should give you an indication of its quality. There were some very subtle custom touches added to enhance the classic lines such as shaving the door handles, mirrors, hood emblem and licence plate holder. The doors have remote entry via a Viper alarm system and the licence plate hides under the rear bumper on a custom flip down bracket. All the exterior chrome and stainless trim, both front and rear bumpers, headlights, tail lights, side glass, windshield, moldings, wipers, grille etc have been replaced with the best quality new Danchuk Manufacturing items. All rubber gaskets, seals and felts were also replaced. The interior has been restored from headliner to carpet, with retrimmed door panels, quarter trim, rear bench and front bucket seats in a classic tuck and roll design. All the handles and brightwork are also new. All four windows are tinted and power, a high end Kenwood/Hertz eight speaker stereo system has been installed with the headunit hidden in the glovebox. Sound proofing throughout. Rewired front to back with Painless Wiring and fitted with a comprehensive integrated pager security system. New 350 crate motor purchased directly from GM, augmented with Mahle pistons, ported and polished Dart / World heads, dual four barrel Holley carbs on port matched polished intake, mild Crower cam, Crane hardware, Pete Jackson dual idler gear drive etc, Modine rad, dual fans, Mallory HEI, 8mm Pro Sidewinder leads, chrome high output GM alternator, chrome and polished bolts, brackets and accessories throughout. Polished and chromed valve covers and low profile air cleaner. New 700R4 overdrive Performance Auto heavy duty street and strip transmission with a manual/automatic valve body, high performance clutches, bands, and servos. Lokar remote dipstick, floor shifter and remote trans cooler. Rebuilt Positraction rearend. Vented disc brakes. Custom made Flowmaster 2.5 inch exhaust system with custom chrome tips and Hooker headers. New 20x10 and 18x8 polished alloy deep dish pro touring wheels with new low profile tires. Fatman Fabrication dropped spindles and lowered springs in front and National springs in rear. The new owner will also have the option of switching the wheels for genuine 15 inch staggered American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels for a more classic retro hot rod look ( see pics for American Racing mags fitted ). The car looks and drives as a well engineered custom street machine should. The motor has a mild lope from the cam and an aggressive low whine from the gear drive. The exhaust note is deep and low, it’s not obnoxiously loud but there is no mistaking there’s a tuned V8 under the hood. Normal street driving is balanced and predictable with no surprises, freeway cruising is smooth and relaxed thanks to the overdrive, but with spirited driving the tires can be chirped between gears easily and smoked from a standstill at will. All in all this is a very clean, well built street machine that can and has been driven across country. Although it’s not strictly a show car or trailer queen, it’s picked up a couple of rock chips over the years but it still wins trophies at every event it’s taken to. Any inspection is welcomed. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
On Mar-30-14 at 19:17:53 PDT, seller added the following information: In answer to a few questions i've had, The engine output has been measured at 387 horsepower, it was tuned on a dyno to setup the twin carbs and that was the only time the power was rated. The carbs are tuned for street use but i've been adviced by the tuning shop that retuning with bigger jets and timing would free up more power. i have not raced the car so cannot say what the quarter mile times are. All parts repalced during the rebuild and restoration were new, no used or junk yard parts. The engine was supplied by a Chevrolet dealership as a factory new unit. There is actually only one rock chip to speak of on the drivers side front fender that i can find on closer inspection, its smaller than the size of a dime. The American Racing wheels are near new, as are the tires.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
2015 Chevy Impala Bi-fuel burns CNG, starts at $37,385*
Tue, May 6 2014Currently, the only natural-gas-powered passenger car offered for sale by an OEM in the US is the Honda Civic Natural Gas. Starting this fall, that long-running CNG car will be joined by a CNG-burning 2015 Chevy Impala for both fleet and retail customers. General Motors announced today that the car will start at $37,385, plus an $825 destination charge. That comes to $38,210 before taxes and options. Those options include two trim lines, the base LS and the upper-level LT. Chevy doesn't break out the details in the press release announcing the price, but you can see the trim details for the standard gas-powered 2014 Impala here. Exact information on the 2015 models is not available just yet, but GM spokesman Chad Lyons told AutoblogGreen that the equipment that you see listed on the site for 2014 is "almost exactly the same" as what will be available for 2015. The 2015 Impala gets around 19 city mpg on CNG, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. That means the LS will come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, electric variable-assist power steering, projector-beam headlamps, and 10 air bags. The LT adds an eight-inch touch screen with MyLink, premium Cloth interior and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The cost for this upgrade is unspecified. For CNG purposes, we can ignore the numerical prefix used for the gas-powered LT trims, since that denominates the engine type, and all the CNG models use a 3.6-liter engine with hardened valves and valve seats that can better handle natural gas. The trunk capacity also drops from 18.8 cubic feet to 10 cu .ft. in order to fit in the CNG tank that holds the equivalent of 7.8 gallons of gas. That amount of CNG should move you 150 city miles, which is around 19 mpg, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. With the addition of the gasoline on board, the overall range is 500 city miles. The car burns CNG when available and switches to gas with "no interruption" either when the tank is empty or when the driver selects the gas tank. Find more details in the press release below. GM says the CNG Impala will will be available nationwide this fall. CNG is a growing fuel in the US, thanks in part to fracking. The Civic Natural Gas, which starts at $26,640, is growing towards a nationwide availability. Next year, for example, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit will allow CNG for the first time.
