1955 Chevy Two Door Wagon! Very Cool!


Thanks for checking out this cool ride offered by M.E.S. Motorsports; where our cars are notorious for Making Everyone Stare! What we have for sale here is a very solid 1955 Chevy Two Door 150/210/Handyman wagon. The car runs really well and looks sweet cruising down the road but has not been frame off restored. This is a driver quality car that can be taken to the next level or simply enjoyed as is. Don't even think about buying this one if you don't like attention as it draws a crowd EVERYWHERE! Please have funds or financing lined up before bidding. We may consider interesting trades on this one but please be serious in any trade offers. Please read description fully before asking questions as we try to be very descriptive in our listings. Now on to the good stuff!

History – We picked up the car from a gentleman in MO. He stated that it was a Texas car which was the reason for virtually no rust.

Drivetrain – This wagon is powered by a smooth running 350 V8. She felt a little sluggish so we put on a new Edelbrock intake manifold matched with a 4 barrel Edelrock carburetor. Now its moving down the road like it should. The motor appears stock and has cherry bomb exhaust. 350 Turbo transmission with a T handle shifter. We reconnected the kick down cable as well. We just changed the oil, transmission and brake fluids along with a coolant flush which mean this one is ready for the road!

Exterior – Overall this wagon has a straight body but with an amateur/driver quality paint job. It could stand to be repainted to take it to the next level. It's not the most expensive paint job and the prep was less than perfect but it is a neat color. There are some dings and chips here and there with some body filler in a few places as well. Chrome is in really good condition. We installed new inner weather stripping around the two front doors and new window felt in the roll down front windows. It could still use new weather stripping at the front corner window glass along with the back door as well as the outer stripping around the exterior glass. All the glass is in good shape. The windows are tinted and it could stand to be removed.

Underneath - The chassis is very solid and mostly rust free except for some minor rust in the front floor plans(see pics). They were temporarily patched with some sheet metal before the carpet was installed. Not very major and could be left alone or repaired if you wanted to paint the car. The whole underneath appears to have been painted with black paint and looks pretty good.

Interior – The interior is very clean and appears to have been redone not too long ago. Front and rear bench seats in great shape. Nice black carpet and nice black headliner. Dash was painted black and looks pretty good but not perfect. There is currently no radio but the dash was cut previously for one. There is also currently no heat or AC. Heater has been removed. Speedometer and gas gauge work. We also just installed a new sending unit in the gas tank.

Chassis/Suspension - Basically stock although we did just lower it approximately 2 inches. Cut two coils off the front springs and used 2" blocks on the rear. Rides nicely and looks awesome! Manual steering and drum brakes but is very easy to drive and stops really well. Brakes were just bled with new brake fluid.

Wheels/tires – New 17" REV wheels all the way around with brand new staggered Nexen rubber.

Known issues not mentioned above – If it sits there may be a drop of fluid but not much if any at all. When the transmission is really cold, may have to rev the engine before it drops into gear.

Title - Clean and clear SC title in my possession.

About us - M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was founded and started by myself and my best friend of almost 30 years now. While M.E.S. was “officially” put into action around 2012, it really started back in the 90’s during our high school days. Even back then we were in each other’s garage every weekend working on our cars. We have always shared the same enthusiasm for that one thing…..Automobiles!  Hot rods, classics, customs, sports cars, fast cars, loud cars, basically anything with 4 wheels and an engine. For as long as I can remember we’ve always enjoyed “playing” with cars and recently decided to share our passion and creativity with others and thus M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was officially launched . At this time we are not licensed car dealers but rather auto enthusiasts with a passion for buying and selling cars to and from other auto enthusiasts and collectors.  Our goal is to sell cars that you can actually get into and drive anywhere!  We believe that cars are actually meant to be driven on the road and not just stored. A lot of the cars that we find are from individuals who are simply not using them anymore or that started restoring them but never finished. Some cars may just need some cleaning and a tune up while other may need paint or finish work. Whatever the case is, we try to address any issues and get them road worthy. We hate to see any car just sitting, rotting or not being used. We believe that everyone out there should have the car of their dreams and that they should be able to drive it anywhere they want to go!

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
