1956 Chevrolet Chevy Bel-air Survivor Patina Hot Rod Rat Rod Barn Find Original on 2040-cars
Medford, Oregon, United States
|
This is my 1956 Chevy Bel-Air, I bought the car from a good griend over 10 years ago. It was all original at the time. It was a power pack car with factory tinted glass, power brakes and the foot pump for the windshield washer. It now has a Chevy 350 crate motor, mid length ceramic coated headers, th-350 and vintage air(needs charged). I have put about 5,000 miles on the car in over 10 years. It has power disk brakes, dropped spindles, drop springs, drop leafs, raceline wheels, I also still have the factory wheels and hubcaps. I put a stereo in the tissue dispenser and it has Infinity speakers. I also moved the battery to the trunk to clean up the engine bay. It has a patina that cannot be duplicated, the little old man that my friend got it from was anal about maintaining the car to the point of priming spots that he saw starting to develop issues. The car is incredibly clean with issues in some of the tri-5 problem areas. With the exception of the marker light trim everything else in incredible. I attached pictures of the body issues as well. You would need to look pretty hard to find a cleaner car for sale right now. The floors and trunk are beautiful. I also put flame throwers on the car but don't really use them with this engine. This car has never seen weather that I know of and it has a clear Wyoming Title. I reserve the right to end this auction early, especially if I change my mind. I would prefer to never sell her but I am in the process of a large purchase and the money may help. Feel free to call with any questions.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
