This is a rare opportunity to start with an HONEST car. NO fluff. What you see is what you get. Original paint that is hiding NOTHING. The photos show you the reality, not an illusion. Trim tag shows Regal Turquoise and India Ivory. I have done a very close inspection and I believe the top was white from the factory. I truly believe the deck lid and quarters where painted white by the dealer. There is no Bondo or any metal repairs. Clear Kansas title.
Car is a true BelAir car. It is complete and in super condition. I was told that it was stored in a barn since the early 80's. All the stainless is in SUPER condition and is completely useable and would be easy job to make perfect. Most of the chrome is nice and would make good cores for re-plating. I have keys and all locks work.
It has an original 55 265 V-8 that runs like a sewing machine. (if your sewing machine needed the carb rebuilt). Seriously, no knocks, no smoke. Sounds great with the glass packs and tailpipes. Nice back rap. Rebuilt once in the past. Heads were set up for unleaded in past rebuild. New fuel pump, coil, cap, rotor, plugs and wires. Fresh oil and filter. Starts right up. Just a lttle hesitation (minor accelerator pump issue) 20 lbs oil pressure at idle and 40 lbs at higher rpms. 140-150 psi on all cylinders. Generator appears to be charging.
Transmission is a 3 speed manual. shifts into all gears fine.
I have not had this on the road. just moved it back and forth around the yard. Tires are old bias ply and have excellent tread but have show a lot of dry rot cracks and will need replaced prior to highway driving.
Seats are in very good condition. All the door panels, trim, armrests, etc. present.
Clock WORKS! It is ticking away right now. Headlights work as do the tail lights, Cigarette lighter, dash lights, park lights, glove box light, turn signals, tag lights, dome light. The horns test fine and sound GREAT, but are tempermental and do not sound off with the horn ring.
Not working is the radio, heater motor, wiper motor, left front marker light. Heater core or control valve has a small leak.
I installed 4 new wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Fuel tank needs replaced and at least one long brake line. Brakes are working on the front only right now. Emergency brake works fine. The brake shoes are all still fine. Front wheel bearings looked fine also.
Body is very straight as you can see. Doors are both solid with only surface rust on the bottoms. They open and close great. Deck lid and hood are also very solid with some minor dents. The floors are in great condition with no rust thru. The trunk floor also is nice with no rust thru. There are some small areas of rust thru which are very minor and usual to these cars. Pictures will show some rust thru at the tail pan and brace, fender eyebrows, and very small holes in the quarters. Will need both small floor braces, end repair on the rear main floor brace, and some inner rocker repair, etc.
All glass is present and in good condition, except winshield which has bb holes and a crack. All windows operate nicely, except left quarter window. it wants to go but I don't want to force it.
I have tried to cover everything. I encourage you to call me and I will give you details on any questions that you may have. This is not your average car. It is exceptional for it age. It is not common to find a car like this anymore. If you really compare this car with other "projects", I know you will see the value in this one. Thanks for looking at the auction. Bid early and bid often. This car is a great investment.

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt
Mon, Jan 13 2014At 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.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics
2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
