Nice pearl white 1955 Chevy, 2 door 210. This car was restored about seven years ago, and basically stored the whole time until I bought it. It has a beautiful red and white, soft, fake leather interior. The entire interior was redone, including the headliner. It still looks like it was done yesterday, and was definately professionally done, as it is absolutely a beautiful interior. The dash is original, but has a new aftermarket steering wheel, correct for a 55, but just a little smaller than the original. All glass is in great shape, with just a little fogging on the bottom corners of the windshield. They all roll up and down smoothly.
The body was also redone, and painted in nice pearl white. I would rate it a #3 paint job. Although it looks very nice, the painter wasn't as good as the person who did the interior. There has been a little body work done, but is covered well. From 5 feet away it looks flawless, but I don't want to misrepresent the paint job, so I'm stating it is not a professional paint job. I'm no professional judge myself, but the car is extremely straight looking down the sides. There is no rust on the body. The chrome looks to be original, and in very good condition. The bumpers also look original, but I may be wrong. They are solid as new, and very nice, but not quite as bright chrome as new. All doors, trunk, and hood in great shape, and all shut nice and snug. Rims and tires in excellent condition.
This car supposedly has the original 265 V8 engine, rebuilt, and purrs like a kitten. It does have dual exhaust, so sounds really nice. It was originally an automatic car, according to the indicator on the steering column, but it now has a manual Hurst 3 speed on the floor. It runs strong, shifts good, and has a strong clutch. It has a very small 2 barrel carb, maybe even original. I put the big air cleaner on it just to make it look like a 4 barrel. The only fault it has is it"s very cold blooded on cold starts. The choke is not working, so I think that's the problem. Other than that, it needs nothing mechanicaly. It's ready to drive.
The frame and underside is the ugly part of this car. Although the frame is in good shape, the car has had new drivers floor pans, and they didn't bother to clean up the old metal underneath. The car comes with original drum brakes, front and rear, and no power brakes or steering. It drives very easily, and the brakes work great. I just want you to know it's not updated to disc brakes.
Although this is a beautiful car, it does need a little attention. The speedometer does not work, and the turn signal lever is missing from the steering column. It has a new aftermarket radio, but no speakers, so that needs attention also. I don't know what else I can say about this car. I've tried to be as honest as I can. It's a real beauty, and would win trophies at most local car shows. It's a "turn key' car. But it's not perfect. I do have it priced accordingly, with what I think is a low reserve. Forgot to mention, the trunk has been redone very professionally, and looks like new inside. I can have the car shipped anywhere in the United States very reasonably. If you are overseas, you will be responsible for all shipping costs. I will help every step of the way until the car is at your door. I require $1,000 deposit immediately after the auction via Pay Pal, and the balance within 7 days. Email me with any questions.Thank you and may God bless you all. Richard
P.S. Just remembered. Since the speedometer does not work, I have no idea how many miles are actually on the car. The title does say 74,100 actual miles on it, so fix the speedo, which reads 74,128, and there should be no dispute about actual mileage. The title is clear, and in my name since last November.

CORRECTION: This is NOT a 210 model. It is a 2 door Bel Air hard top. Even says Bel Air on the title. Sorry for the inconvenience, but was thinking of my 1957 Chevy 210, which I will be listing next. ALSO: I have been getting a lot of emails about the bottom of the car. I tried to add pictures, but 24 is all I'm allowed. The underside is not restored like the rest of the car. The frame is in good shape, it's just the floor pans could have been cleaned up better on the bottom when the car was done. It's very solid. It's just a little dissapointing looking underneath after looking at this beautiful car. Cleaning up the bottom would bring this up to a #2 restored car. Hope this helps. Thanks for all the questions.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
