1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 Door Sedan
235 CI Straight Six
Powerglide Automatic Transmission

This car is in great running and driving condition. It is a pleasure to drive and just wants to cruise. It is not super fast or loud. It has plenty of power to keep up with traffic. It stops well with the drum brakes. Everything works on this car with the exception of the shift indicator in the dash, windshield washer and clock. This car is fully documented California car with some good options. I have book with many 50's, 60's, 70's and current receipts. The original manual and accessories is in this book. There is also the letter to the owner for buying the car. The paperwork in this car is unexpected and very nice to have. You can see where the new owner made notes about maintenance on the car. Pretty cool.

Engine and drive train
I believe the engine is low miles 105,000 original, Very clean and strong. I upgrade the ignition to HEI and put a new carb on it. New wire, plugs, oil change, and all the fluids. It starts, idles and runs like new. The transmission shifts great and very smooth. OEM Starter and Generator. New battery cables and much more. Stock radiator with no leaks. Full coolant flush. All fluids changed front to back.

Suspension and Steering
It needed all the rubber replaced, idler arm, all the bushings, shocks. All this made it drive like is should. It's the little things no one wants to change that make it drive right. Receipts included.

Tires
New Diamond Back Extra Wide Radials. Super nice tires from Toyo.

Wheels
OEM - Notice the original spare with Jack and instructions in the trunk. It even has the sticker on the tire. Very nice.

Interior 
One small tear when you get in. Otherwise I think this is the original seat covers. The carpet may have been replaced but is in good condition. Headliner is good. All the gauges work with the exception of the clock. The shift indicator needs the cable reconnected. The wiper are electric and work well. New wiper blades. The washer needs repaired. The dash and everything else is awesome. Horn works. Someone put a retro radio in and some kick panel speakers. This was a radio delete car and the delete plate is in the glove box. The floor mats are new and matching color. Seat belts have been added for safety. 

Exterior
It looks to have one re-spray and is in fairly good shape. It still shines but has some nicks and scratches. There is some areas on the passenger side down low where the paint is beginning to bubble. See photo. The only rust I can find on this car is where the paint is bubbling. There is also some surface rust under the OEM mat in the trunk. See photo. This cars seems to have all its original sheet metal. To make this show quality, you would need to fix the few small rust spots and put a show quality matched paint. I would just drive it as is. The chrome bumpers are in great shape, but the hood ornament and a few pieces are beginning to pit. The pieces that were cast and not steel. The stainless is complete and looks great. 

Exhaust
Good condition front to back. OEM rear tail cover. 

Glass and Doors
The vent windows and the rear glass are original EZ View. The side and front glass are Shat R Proof. It is all in good condition and all the window works well. The doors shut like a safe.

Included are the documents and receipts, OEM Carb, OEM Distributor I took out. Clear TN title.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
