You are bidding on a rare numbers matching 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. This is a project car but has had a huge start in the frame-off process. As you can see from the pictures, the body sheet metal is all new. New quarters, doors, fenders, deck lid, hood, floor pans, etc. Virtually, every piece of metal on the car is new and has been put back together. The frame was sandblasted and powder coated and the underneath of the car done in epoxy primer. The original numbers matching 283 v8 engine has been professionally rebuilt to factory specifications and is ready to be reinstalled. The car will need some finishing work on the body but almost ready to paint. All of the parts are present except the original 2 speed power glide transmission which is missing. I can get my hands on one for 350.00. Extensive work has been done to this car. I have 99% of the parts to be complete. I have the complete interior but it needs to be redone. I have all of the stainless except for one small piece on the quarter panel. The rest of the parts are there. I also have a lot of new parts that go with the car. The top frame is new, as is the suspension. The rear end has been cleaned and checked thoroughly, and the suspension is new. I have spent over 35,000 dollars on this car so far. I have too many projects and have to cut loose of some of them. If you have any questions about the car, please call me. Rob. 540-580-8550

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
