This is as close to a brand new 1955 Chevy as you can get. I have been asked by a friend, who is battling cancer, to sell this beautiful car that he has spent $60K (have receipts) and the last 5 years restoring. He has only logged 1300 miles on the odometer of the electronic dash. Every nut, bolt, and washer on this car has been replaced...this very nice car was completely dis-assembled, stripped, and any panel with any kind of issues was replaced and completely jig welded and finished on a rotisserie by a certified welder! The body is better now than it was when it came from the factory. The same goes for the frame...it was solid from the start, but was blasted, checked for straightness, and painted. Then all new suspension, (CCP power) steering, and brakes were added. The differential was checked, blasted, cleaned and painted. The pictures show the all new interior, it is absolutely beautiful! The car has Vintage A/C and a nice stereo CD player with 4 speakers...2 in parcel shelf and 2 in kick panels. The engine is a smooth running professionally rebuilt 350 small block with coated headers, edelbrock carb and valve covers and a high dollar aluminum radiator. The original frame mounted bell housing holds an 11" clutch and 010 Muncie 4 speed with Hurst shifter. I have drove this car, and with its new tilt steering column, it's a pleasure to drive! It has polished 5 spoke aluminum wheels with B.F. Goodrich radials. The finish is PPG Base coat clear coat, and all trim and emblems are either new or in perfect condition. There is way too many items on this car to try to list here so please study the pictures and if you have questions contact Troy @ 563-503-9281. We will be happy to assist the new owner with arrangements for pick-up or shipping, and welcome overseas buyers! The cas has to be sold AS-IS, but be assured it is a work of art and will not disappoint anyone anywhere, so if you are looking for a Tri-five Chevy, this could be your next car! Illinois retail buyers will be subject to Tax, title and license.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
