1955 Bel Air Convertible - Rare Continental Kit With Skirts - This Bel Air Convertible has been in a barn for many years. Has it's 265 2 barrel V8 with a manual 3 speed on the column. The Bel Air will start up and run and it moves and the brakes work too, but you will need to go through it from sitting.
The Bel Air is Two Tone Red and White, it has very old paint and looks to be in fair shape, it still has the dirt on the Bel Air from sitting in the barn, never cleaned it but I think if you give it a good wash, buff and wax job it wouldn't look to bad. The body looks fairly straight, has some chips and scratches and some small bubbles and like I said old paint. The Bel Air X frame doesn't look to bad, it is scally in places on the frame and some of the frame supports may need to be replaced or fixed. Some of the floors are scally and rusty with holes, it looks like many years ago they did do some patch work on some of the floors. To make the Bel Air right, you will need to replace some of the floors or patch them and some of the frame braces and supports too, or you can still drive it the way it is now, your choice. Inside the trunk the floor doesn't look to bad. You can see all this in the detailed pictures. The Bel Air interior is Two Tone Red and White and is in pretty fair shape for it's age, still has the original radio and clock and the rest of the interior looks pretty original. If you cleaned it up it would look pretty good for a old age interior. The White Top doesn't look to bad, it just needs a good cleaning, I have the Red Convertible boot that comes with the car too. It does have a power top and the power top motor works but I never tried to put the top down. The chrome and stainless is in pretty fair shape, the front bumper will need to be Rechromed because the chrome is peeling off. This old 1955 Bel Air Convertible Barn Find is Pretty complete and it runs and has the very Rare Continental Kit With Skirts. Extremely popular collectible to fix up. I have a clean Title in Hand.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
