Up for auction is my beautiful 1955 Chevy. This car was found in a barn after stored there for over 20 years. It had one repaint and the body was about 98% rust free. The car was then taken to a professional restoration shop were it was mini tubbed. The wheel wells were widened 2 3/4" to make them flush with the frame. All the metalwork on the wheel wells was butt welded (Not overlapped) Like most people do. The metalwork is perfect. At the same time the spare tire well was removed and the trunk floor was modified to make the gas tank centered in the trunk to make room for exsaust. Again the metal work was done to perfection. When you look in the trunk you cant tell anything was done. Looks completely stock. A brand new 9" Ford rear replaced the original it has 31 spline axles and a 3:70 posi center section. The rear is mounted with a leaf spring relocation kit that moves the springs up inside the frame. Also new 3" dropped Posie springs were used. The rear wheels are 15x10 American Racing Torq Thrusts with Hosier 29x12.5 radial tires. At the same time the entire front suspension was rebuilt with all new bushings and ball joints. A new dropped spindle / disc brake kit was added from TCI along with dropped coil springs. This car sits really low! I get compliments all the time on the stance of this car. The original 3 speed was replaced with a muncie M22 close ratio 4 speed that has been completly rebuilt. The car had a 283 engine in it that I just replaced this spring with a brand new 450+ HP 383 Stroker. The engine features a complete Edelbrock RPM topend kit including aluminum heads, RPM Airgap intake and Performer RPM cam. This engine has a ton of power and sounds awesome. Cam has a really nice lumpy sound! The carburator is a Holley 770 double pumper with electric choke. The distributor is a MSD pro billet. The car has a top of the line Grifith aluminum radiator with 1 1/4 tubes. Always runs cool. never higher than 180. The interior was completly redone about 8 years ago and still looks really nice. The body is in really good shape. It only needed one small floor section replaced on the passenger side front. It was butt welded in and you can't tell it was done. Everything underneth is original and rust free! All the floor pans and braces are perfect! This is a really good car. The white paint was redone about 8 years ago. At that time all the glass was pulled out and was replaced with all new smoked grey tint glass and and the rubber seals and window channels were replaced with new. Also while the glass was out all of the stainless trim on the whole car was professionally straightened and polished to a miror finish. The green paint on the car was just redone this year. It is the original Neptune green color. I get compliments on the color all the time. The paint job is very nice but not perfect. This is a very nice driver. Not a show car. I wanted a car that looks really good but I didn't want a car I had to be scared to drive and I didn't want $100,000 55' Chevy. This car is so much fun to drive and it looks really good. It's a car that you can keep inproving over time. My next project on the car was going to be cleaning up and painting the engine compartment. That would be the bigest thing left to do on the car. I was planning on doing that this winter. Im sure I forgot a lot. But you can email me questions or call me at 717-490-4851. There will be a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Thanks

I just uploaded another group of pictures that are better quality and can be blown up so you can see better details of the car. The new pictures are after the ones I posted originally. Thanks |

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
