1954 Chevrolet 210 Handyman Wagon on 2040-cars
Flowood, Mississippi, United States
|
I
just bought the car of my dreams from a seller in Colorado, a 1954 Chevy 210
Handyman wagon. My first car was a 54 Chevy and I have wanted to hot rod one
with a modern chassis and drive train ever since. I am now old enough and have
enough money to do it but it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out this
time; this car is near perfect for what I had planned but for personal reasons
based on occurrences this week I am unable to continue with the project. So, it
is now time to sell it and hope there will be a better time for the project in
the future. The
previous owner did not give a good, complete description, but I will try to
here. The body of this wagon is in excellent condition for a 60 year old car. I
have observed no rust, there is good fit for all the panels and doors and all
the chrome and stainless shows well. In all, this car was just what I wanted
for my purposes. The car has been repainted not too long ago in an original
Chevy color “saddle Brown” (color code #559) and the repaint was very good both
inside and out. All the interior; seats, doors and headliner, has been redone
in white Naugahyde. The front windshield is cracked and there is Plexiglas in
the driver side window. I have purchased a new windshield and gasket and driver
side window (see the packing slip picture) they are Included with the car in
this sale. There are single cracks in both rear passenger windows but the glass
appears to be original. Any additional replacement glass needed can be obtained
from Bob’s Classic Auto Glass in Eugene, OR. Also the horn ring with the HARD
TO FIND brown center emblem is missing; however, I did find one (see the
picture) and it will also be included with the car in this sale . The car comes
with a visor, skirts and dummy spot lights. The rear view mirror will need to
be replaced. The car has seat belts that I believe are recent additions. All
the mechanics, chassis and drive train are original and in good working
condition, the battery appears fairly new but I had to jump start it the first
time. After it warmed up the 235 ci in line 6 cylinder purred just like mine
did back in the 50’s and the 2 speed “power glide” transmission shifted
smoothly. The fuel gauge does not work. The brakes work and the tires are new.
Also new, according to the previous owner, are the front springs, rims,
hubcaps, brakes, battery, gas tank, filler neck, Petronix electronic ignition,
cap, rotor, wires, plugs and a recent valve train adjustment. Headlights,
taillights and turn signals all work. This
is a good car. The reserve price is a little less than I paid, happy bidding
and call me with any questions at (601) 932-1155, Tom. |

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
