I have beautifully looking, sounding, driving, and handling 1955 Chevy 210 Club Coupe with the Delray Trim Package. This car enjoyed a ground up restoration a little over 5 years ago and has only been driven to and from local car shows. This car has the best of both worlds with all original 1955 Chevy looks but state of the art, late model performance and comfort upgrades. No money was spared in this resto-mod and it rides down the road like my new Lexus. Newly registered, come and get it before an ebay bidder does.

I haven't seen many 55s cleaner than my 55. I would grade this 9.5 out of a 10 and 10 being show car ready. It needs interior windlace trim but I am ordering that now and will replace it. With this type of restoration there is too much to list and make sense of from a $45k restoration but here are the highlights. The new factory tinted glass, 4 wheel power disc brakes, power steering and tubular front suspension makes this car awesome to drive, it feels so good around turns, clovers, or winding roads.

I will sell it but would have preferred a trade for a 1932-1934 three or five window coupe and for this 55 to find a true 50s Delray lover.

Exterior:
- Beautiful Acrylic Urethane factory Neptune Green and white paint job. Body was shaved of all emblems, ornaments, and keyhole before blocked to perfection responsible for its wave free finish. All trim and drive train removed and replaced for painting, and the finish is a 9.9 out of 10.
- New B.F. Goodrich 215/65P-15R Wide Whitewall Tires on new Chrome Rims.
- All new factory tinted glass, windshields, and rubber seals.
- 1 piece bumpers added.

Electrical:

- The electrical system is perfect. A new wiring harness and fuse box was installed and integrated with the Chrome Plated Flaming River Tilt Steering Column and custom steering wheel. All lights work well inside and out, heater and fan controls work well and are smooth in operation.

- Car was converted to a 12V system with a High Output Chrome Alternator. The horn stopped working but I will investigate it. I was also told the Delray model was suppose to have a cigarette lighter but this does not and I have not investigated where it goes.

- Winshield wiper motor is new electric working great.



 Interior:
- Original factory Delray Trim interior that came with the car but is in great condition for its age. Driver's seat repaired but everything else is in good condition. New factory style carpet and floor mats.
- All interior trim painted or polished Sea Mist Green.
- Pioneer AM/FM, CD, Aux, USB, and Bluetooth Stereo with Cellular hands free
- Electric pop trunk button under dash
- Factory trunk mat, spare tire, and bumper jack.

Drive Train:
- Complete Power Steering conversion with new steering box, pitman arm, idler arm and center link.

- Complete 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes, minimum offset stock spindle wheel kit, rear brake kit for original rear end 8" booster assembly and pre-bent hard line kit. This drastically improves the ride, braking, steering and handling.

- Front Tubular Suspension, heat treated, CNC wound and factory tested front coil springs, performance graphite upper and lower control arm bushings, and bumpstops -- engineered to give superior performance, strut rod bushings, upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, tie rod adjusting sleeves, and idler arm. Sway bar bushings and end link. Flaming River Chrome Tilt Column.

- T5 5 Speed Transmission with Overdrive, new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. Third member was replaced with a fresh rebuilt 3.36:1 gear change to taller gears and the car cruises nicely at 80 to 85 down the highway.

- The underbody of this car remains in great drivers condition free of corrosion. The rear ends 3rd member was detail painted before installation, as well as the T5 Five Speed Transmission. All suspension components were power coated or baked enameled.

 This car is one of the best condition cars I've owned or restored. Money was not an issue when resto-modifying this 1955 but not its time for change. I was looking to trade this car for a resto-mod 1930s streetrod of the same or greater value of $30,000. Preferably a 1933 or 1934 Ford. Come drive this car and you'll be amazed at how great this restoration was completed. I can also take this to ANY mechanic you want to inspect this vehicle because I know you can drive this anywhere in the country without fear. Shipping is easy from San Diego area.

 Here is a YOU TUBE video of the car.

You can also contact me for additional pictures. I have more of the undercarriage so you can see how clean and detailed the work is under the car.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt

Mon, Jan 13 2014

At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012. We expect our readers have similar stories they'd like to share in the Comments.
