We acquired this '55 Bel Air from a serious car guy that we have purchased quite a few high end cars from over the years. Many of the cars we have purchased from him have been cars he purchased, customized and then got bored quickly after the build and decided to sell. This Bel Air was a slightly different story.  He actually owned this car quite a few years and it was his go to car for shows and cruise ins.  Over the years it accumulated a few minor cosmetic blems like rock chips and last year he decided to treat it to some serious upgrades both cosmetically and under the hood.  The end result is a jaw-dropping, ground pounding, resto-modded '55 Bel Air Hot Rod that is set up to Show and Go!!!!  Once he finished with  this Bel Air he again got the itch to move on to the next project so he asked me if i wanted it and within hours I wired him the funds and it was on its way to us.  As you will see in the pictures and info that follow he sunk some serious $$$$$ in to this build!!! It was already a really nice rust free Bel Air when he started but it only had a mild crate 350 in it and lacked the upgrades he has learned to love.  Well, as you will see this car is now a true Show Piece that is sure to win shows and catch all the attention you can handle wherever you go.  It was built to be driven and to get you there in a hurry when needed!!!  I will do my best to include enough large images, a video so you can hear it running, and an honest description to help you decide if this Hot Rod belongs in your collection!  There are quite a few large images so give them a few minutes to load! Sit back and enjoy!!

As I mentioned the body on this '55 was already in awesome condition before it was treated to its new coat of paint about a year ago.  The color combination is outstanding! The primary color is Black Cherry metallic and the accent color is Pearl white metallic. The Black Cherry glistens in the sun where you will see more of the burgundy/cherry tone and in the shade and at night it looks almost black. I tried to take pics of the car in different lights and different times of day so you could get a sense of how awesome the color pops. The body itself is extremely straight and body panel fit is awesome and most likely better then when it was new.  I would say the body is near flawless as I am sure there are probably a few extremely tiny rock chips or flaws I may have missed.  Chrome and stainless is either new or polished and look great. All of the windows are tinted and the glass is in beautiful condition.  Overall the body is extremely original with just a few subtle touches like the Chevy emblem in the trunk that is actually an added brake light.  I think the pictures will give you a great sense for how nice it is...here is a walk around tour of the body:

As soon as you open the drivers side door you will know this is not just another nice '55 Bel Air.  With close to $20,000 spent on the interior the fresh smell of leather fills the interior as the contoured custom front and rear seats welcome you.  Very tastefully done to keep with the original look of the Bel Air but with the same high end quality as the rest of this Hot Rod. There is plenty of room for drivers and passengers of all sizes! The two tone Grey leather accents the Black Cherry exterior beautifully. Custom center console houses the B&M shifter with custom shifter knob and A/c vents. Custom made steering wheel on a great tilt column. Original looking dash completely redone and upgraded with an awesome set of Dakota Digital gauges and quartz clock in stock location that works. All of the lights and gauges appear to be working correctly although the speedometer seems to read a bit fast. Great sounding stereo with the Custom Autosound retro look digital unit with subwoofer neatly mounted in trunk.  Connection for your i-pod or phone neatly installed in the ash tray. Sure fit Vintage air conditioning neatly installed to keep you icy cold when needed.  Again, I think the pictures will demonstrate the quality of this luxury custom interior. Take a look:

One thing is for sure, this '55 Bel Air is not just a thing of beauty....she is also a beast on the road and has all the Horsepower you could possibly need under the hood nicely tamed so that she can be driven and enjoyed at any speed! The motor is still being broken in with under 250 miles since it was built and installed.  This motor was built by a well known engine builder,  "The Gunner", Gunter Guering.  The motor started as a  454, 4-bolt truck block that was bored , decked and notched for a Stroker making it a 505 Cubic Inch generating a reported 660 horsepower. Block and balance work was done by Mancini Machine shop. A few of the notable components are Eagle Stroker crank, rods and pistons. Aluminum heads, 10.5 compression, Comp Solid lifter Roller camshaft, Dart air gap intake manifold, Quick fuel 850 carburetor, etc... Patriot ceramic coated headers breathe out the 3" aluminum exhaust rumbling through Hooker arrow chamber mufflers. Amazing handling and suspension thanks to the CCP 540 gear Power steering, 2" drop spindles up front and 2" drop in the rear, tubular A-arms and Bilstein shocks on all 4 corners.  The power from this 505 Big block is transferred to the rear wheels through the 4L80E overdrive automatic transmission with TCI programmable controller.  There is currently a 2800 stall converter and the shifter is a B&M shifter which allows you to bump through the gears for some added fun if desired. New 4 core radiator and this big block runs super cool with no overheating issues!!  Wilwood 4 wheel disc brake system stops you as needed.  Great stance with the Polished Coy wheels providing a great footprint at all 4 corners wrapped in like new set of Nexxen performance rubber.  Engine bay is neatly detailed and valve covers and air cleaner painted in a black chrome finish.  Take a look and then be sure to listen to the video so you can hear this baby rumble!!!

IF YOU HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR THEN YOU DESERVE TO HEAR THIS BABY START UP AND RUNNING....THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE SOUND OF A STROKED BIG BLOCK WITH A LOPY CAM BREATHING OUT 3" ALUMINUM PIPES WITH GREAT SOUNDING MUFFLERS....CLICK THE ARROW TO START AND CRANK UP YOUR VOLUME:



Here is a look at the suspension and undercarriage.  The undercarriage is rock solid with no rust issues.  Inside of the trunk has been neatly detailed out with custom enclosures wrapped in gray leather to match the interior. Optima battery and sub woofer neatly hidden behind the rear seat.

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...

GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one

Thu, Feb 25 2016

A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.
