56 1956 Chevrolet 210 Series 4 Door Sedan Unrestored Original Rat Rod Project on 2040-cars
Henderson, North Carolina, United States
|
This is a '56 Chevy 4 door 210 series sedan. If you have been looking for an affordable Tri-five that isn't a complete basket case, then this could be what you are looking for. This one does run and I have driven it around the yard, but I don't have it tagged. Even though it runs, it does have some mechanical gremlins that need to be fixed before it could be put back on the road. It doesn't idle and I have to feather the gas to keep it running. I think that may be a problem in the carburetor, but I don't know much about carburetors, so I haven't been able to fix it. The generator isn't charging and the exhaust needs to be replaced. But, I have already completed a lot of the mechanical work. Here is a list of the new parts I have already put on the car - the gas tank, fuel lines, all the brake lines (metal and rubber), all 4 wheel cylinders, master cylinder, spark plugs, coil, wires, and oil filter. I also bought and install the rat rod style red rims and white walls. The white walls have very few miles on them. The rims are off of a '55 Chevy, so they would be the same as the stock '56 wheels. It has the typical rust that the '56s get. The front floor boards are gone and the trunk pan needs to be replaced but that is common for an unrestored '56 that hasn't been garage kept. It has some other rust areas too, but I think they could be fixed with just some body filler. This being a 4 door, it probably isn't economically feasible to do a full restoration, but for around $2,000 in additional work, this could be turned into a nice rat rod just by fixing the mechanical gremlins, installing the floor/trunk pans, and spraying on a coat of semi-flat black then just drive it. That was what I was going to do with it, but then I bought the Nomad in the back ground and decided to restore it instead. It has a clear North Carolina title. If you would like to examine the car in person and hear it run, feel free to contact me.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
