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 2016

The 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.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month

Mon, Mar 31 2014

General Motors announced two more recalls late Friday, bringing to 4.8 million the number of cars, trucks and SUVs the automaker has called back for repairs in the past month. The string of recalls, topped by an ignition switch problem in compact cars now linked to 13 crash deaths, has embarrassed the company and sidetracked its new CEO, who started work just over two months ago. GM has admitted knowing about the switch problem a decade ago, yet it didn't recall any cars until February. The recall delay has brought two congressional investigations and probes by the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Late Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. The recall affects Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. All have six-speed automatic transmissions. The Silverado is GM's top-selling vehicle and an important profit center for the company. The GMC Sierra also is among GM's top sellers. Dealers will inspect the transmission oil cooling line fittings and make sure they're securely seated, at no cost to owners. Also Friday night, GM announced the recall of 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars because the right front axle shaft can fracture and separate while being driven. The recall affects cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. If a shaft fractures, the wheels would lose power without warning and the cars would coast to a stop. GM says it has warranty reports of several dozen shaft fractures. It is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Dealers will replace the shafts free of charge. The recall allows dealers to resume selling affected Cruzes. GM issued a stop sale order on the cars Thursday night. The recall also covers about 2,500 replacement shafts used to fix manual transmission Cruzes that were recalled last September. In all, GM has recalled 4.8 million vehicles since last month, two million more than the company sold last year in the U.S.
