1956 Chevy Bel Air 2-dr post, GM 350 Crate Motor, Ramjet Fuel Injection, 700R4 trans, custom aluminum radiator, Power Steering 4-wheel power disc brakes, 2-inch dropped spindles and lowering springs in front, lowering blocks in back (geometry is correct), 9-inch Ford rear, not certain of the gear ratio - probably around 350. AM/FM cassette player (I know, I know...cheesy), Vintage Air and Heat, new repro interior, tilt Column, power windows up front. Paint is the correct India Ivory/Pinecrest Green. This car is about as clean as they come. The pictures speak for themselves. There is no rust on this car, period! I do not know the history of the car, except that the engine was added last year and only has about 600 miles on it. Lights and signals all work properly, engine temp and oil pressure gauges added under the dash to the left of the steering column. Small toggle switch engages the electric fan. The windows are good, all trim and chrome are in excellent shape. I also have a car cover that is included in the sale.

I am not a dealer. This car came from the collection of an elderly gentleman in Nevada. I cannot say enough about what a fantastic car this is. The car was built to retain the original look with the reliability and comfort of a new car. You will not find a nicer, cleaner, better-built '56 Bel Air anywhere in the country. The title is clear, in hand and registered in my own name, so there will be no title problems. The original VIN tag and cowl trim tag are both intact. I will store the car in my climate-controlled garage until you can arrange transport, or I will pick you up at the airport and you can drive her home. I would not hesitate to drive this car to any destination in the country - it's THAT good. Again, you will not find a better Bel Air than this one. There will be absolutely NO disappointments with this car. Don't let it get away.

Certified bank check or wire transfer are the only acceptable methods of payment and shipping is the buyer's responsibility. There is no warranty with the car and the car is sold as is/where is. Please ask questions before you bid. Good luck.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
