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.

GM may have teased a whole group of electric vehicles
Tue, Jan 12 2021During GM's big CES press conference, the automaker highlighted a number of its upcoming electric car-related projects from delivery vans to the upcoming flagship Cadillac Celestiq. In the middle of it all, a collection of mystery cars sat in the background behind speakers. They were in the dark, lit only with their running lights, and while it's possible they're just generic filler cars or concepts, we think they could be future products. Our best shot of the cars together is shown above, and we can pretty easily identify three of the vehicles. In the center is obviously the GMC Hummer EV. On either side of it are Cadillacs. To the left seems to be the Lyriq crossover, and to the right is the Celestiq sedan. Two of these cars have production dates, and the third has been confirmed for eventual production, just without timing. This is why we think the rest of the cars are upcoming models. The next most easily identified car is on the near right behind the Cadillac Celestiq. It very clearly has a Chevy bowtie illuminated in the running lights. And looking closely, it appears to be a pickup truck. It's difficult to make out anything more than that. The nose does look a bit more rounded and swept back than the brick-like designs of the Silverado truck line. That also squares with what seemed to be the upcoming truck that appeared in the background of yet another GM presentation. GM previously said this electric Chevy truck will be a full-size model with up to 400 miles of range. That leaves us with three more mysterious models. Over to the left behind the Cadillac Lyriq are what appear to be a pair of crossovers. The one on the far left looks low, curvy, and possibly with a fastback roof. The one on the right is taller, boxier, and probably more of a full-size people hauler. It's hard to say much more beyond that. They could be new electric Buicks, which would fit in nicely with that brand's crossover portfolio, and would likely be highly successful in China, where Buicks, crossovers and electric cars are all rather hot commodities. As for the mystery car on the far right, it's quite a puzzle. We can at least rule out Buick and Cadillac, and GMC since it's definitely a car, and a rather small one compared with the other cars on display. That leaves Chevy, and possibly the autonomous division Cruise. We're leaning toward it being a Chevy, since the first Cruise vehicle is going to be a boxy pod of sorts.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
