55 Chevy Nomad Survivor (one Of The Best If Not The Best) on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
One of the best if not the best (Survivor) available. Completely orginal. runs and drives great. Excelent interior. The Nomad moldings are some of the best with little or no pitting or cracks. One spot of rust in front of left rear wheel as in pic. Very minute surface rust in various places. A small crease in rear fender. This car was stored in norhtern Idaho for the last 30-40 yrs in a very controled area. I could go on and on about all the correct items on this car such as the door weatherstrip still sporting the correct canvas cover. The spiral shocks. the orginal fuel pump. the exhaust header pipe still having the shields on it. the tail gate fits excellent. The glass is all excellent. The headliner and all the linoleum is excelent. the chrome is all excellent. I drained the gas tank and used por 15 then rebuilt the original carb and fuel pump changed the oil and the car runs and sounds great. It does have the power steering option and that is it I have been a Nomad lover for several years and have owned my 56 since 1963 and when I found this car I could not pass it up. But am getting older and this car should go someone that likes orginality. Please feel free to call Doug 509-979-3344 for an honest description of the car and any thing to do with it. I have not done any unnecessary work on this car. Hoping to preserve the original pateena for the new owner and they can decide for themselves if they want to change or modify any parts of the car. Again a 55 Nomad to use as a Benchmark for restoration of the famous body style. Also the front seat must have had a crack or ? there has been a small white insert in the center. I realize that would have to be changed to be 100% correct. the waffle is correct but almost 60yrs old

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
