1956 Chevrolet Convertible

Of all the classics we have owned this is by far the best quality and the most eye pleasing one we have handled to date. This is a fresh, just completed frame off restoration. When we traded for it it was about 90% finished. We finished the car and have driven it as to work out all the bugs. This one is about as close to perfect as they get.

The odometer cluster was rebuilt then set to zero. Car had six tenths of a mile at time of trade. Car now has only one hundred twenty miles. It's new and fresh

The paint work is of show quality. 56 Chev colors Harbor Blue and Nassau Blue. The new convertible top is Harbor Blue. New padding and new back window. The interior is all new and dead on the original. Carpet is new as is everything else.

All works on the car with exception of radio. We have tubes to make radio work-they came with car. We have blue seat belts not yet installed that come with car. Horn blows, all gauges work, speedometer works, all top components are new and it works fine. Yes original factory clock does work. All chrome is awesome quality. All the stainless is highly polished to show quality. All wiring is new, All nuts and bolts used throughout are new and all new under hood. Looking down the sides of her-she is straight. All stainless is straight.

Driving this car is fun. rebuilt original numbers matching motor and transmission were rebuilt. It starts, runs, and drives as good as any. New carburator and even a new air cleaner. They added the early style Corvette valve covers and as pictures show a high dollar aluminum radiator. If painted black it looks dead on the the original radiator. The engine compartment looks great and ready to be judged at any show.

All the exhaust is new, very quiet. All new exhaust, all new brakes, new bearings, all new bushings and rubber seals have been replaced. Top Notch restoration. I can't think of much that this car needs. Just hit the key and go.

As pictures show the bottom of car was finished out nicely and it also shows off the bright new gas tank. New gas lines, new brake lines, all new hangers and new fittings. I could rattle on and on forever about this beauty but the proof is in the pudding. Try to come to Lawrenceburg IN and check it out. It don't get any better than this. Be the first to enjoy a fresh restoration. If you bid and you are the winner and when you come to claim and you don't like it NOT a problem!!! Don't pay, we could careless. We will still give you good feedback and buy your lunch.

We used this car in a wedding and in order to make this car match the others we put on four new tires mounted on four new American Racing Wheels, neat set up. Some do prefer wide white walls. The w.w.w. tires are nice, Wheels painted harbor blue. Original hub caps have been redone with all new decals.

So it is your choice, you can have the four mags or the four w.w.w. with original 56 hub caps, your CHOICE

If you should decide to do the Buy it Now price we will ship all eight tires and wheels. Then we will absorb the cost of shipping it to you. Not overseas unless you pay shipping. we work through a friend here in town who is a professional shipper. He is bonded and fully insured and hauls all over the country.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
