US $22,000.00
Year:1955 Mileage:0
Location:

Lubbock, Texas, United States

Lubbock, Texas, United States

Auction is for a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air ready for restoration!

Car has been updated with:

Non-Original Chassis Modified With Fatman front suspension, tubular control arms, and rack & pinion!

Chassis also has custom bracing & modifications done by previous owner

Leaf Springs Relocated into chassis for better wheel clearance!

Original floor boards are in great condition & ready to go!  This car will make a great option for anyone looking to do a nice 55 chevy!

Body removed when new chassis was installed, but I personally would have the chassis powder coated for pretty finish.


Because the car has been modified & doesn't have the original chassis I don't know for sure if it was originally a convertible or not. The previous owner says it is, but I'm not sure either way. The title does say convertible, but the vin # doesn't have any way of confirming if any 55 is a vert or not. Because the chassis is not the original chassis to the car I'm not really sure. I've been told the car has the right trunk for a convertible & the correct body mounting locations for a true convertible.  I had planned on building it with a roadster shop chassis so I didn't care what kind of chassis it was.  Plans have changed & I'm selling all of my projects...  I'm not looking to get stupid money for this car, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if I get a reasonable offer.

I am including pics of most of the parts we have for it. There's a few in storage not shown here, but you get the idea..  All the trim will need to be restored & the convertible top needs to be sand blasted & bolted all the way down. It moves somewhat freely, but you can tell it needs a good sand blasting to get the crap out of the joints.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The 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.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
