Restored 1955 Chevy Hardtop Red/white on 2040-cars
Nampa, Idaho, United States

I'm afraid I have taken too long in restoring this car. I'm 70 now and retired. I have lost interest and financially will have a hard time finishing this project that I have had for over 15 years. I am going to offer this beautiful 55 Chevy up for sale, but if it does not bring at least my starting bid, please dont email me with an offer. I wont sell it for any less. The car was professional painted probably 4 years ago, after that I traded a professional top notch auto repair shop a nice 1966 Chevelle to do a turn key mechanical repair to make my 55 drivable. They installed a crate 350 motor, 700 R tranny, rewired the car with a new wire harness, installed disc brakes in the front, BE COOL, radiator. They were suppose to install VINTAGE AIR, but they had so many hours into the car, they stopped half way through. I tried to call them on the carpet to finish our agreement, but they said they were way over the value of the Chevelle. All of the chrome is either new originals or buffed out original. The car is drivable. I have probably 100 miles on it since I picked it up at the mechanic shop. There is so much more that has done to the car, but it would take way too long to tell all. The tires are new. You will be getting all the parts that are missing off of the car . Actually there may be a whole pickup load of extra parts. I have the restored steering wheel and all that goes with it, the rechromed front bumper, at least two beautiful sets of original hubcaps, several grilles, just a ton of extra parts goes with the car. I have a complete set of original hardtop seats and door panels. The seats and panels are in an upholstery shop, but I think I will have to pick them up UNFINISHED. This is another reason I'm tired of the car. This is my second upholster. The first one had all my interior for 3 years and never started it, but did bleed me for some of the money. This upholster has had the interior for 1 year and has not started. I hate to say it, but I have meet more flakes in the auto business than anything else I've ever seen. Back to the 55 Chevy. You will need to finish installing the interior chrome. I do have the headliner bows, but I never have bought the headliner material ( the upholster was suppose to do that ). I do have the rolls of vinyl ( red & white ) to do the interior. You will have to button up the front end with the grille , head lights, splash pan and bumper. I have all the parts and the splash pans are painted. You will have to finish wiring the VINTAGE A/C. it's basicly minor adjustments thats left to do, but still a few hours to put in. I know I'm probably forgetting a lot to mention, so if interested please email me. I've had numerous request to call people, so to be fair to all you can call me at 208-461-5730 Dan

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race
Thu, Sep 8 2016The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs
Fri, Dec 6 2019General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.
