1955 Chevy Two Door Wagon! Very Cool!


Thanks for checking out this cool ride offered by M.E.S. Motorsports; where our cars are notorious for Making Everyone Stare! What we have for sale here is a very solid 1955 Chevy Two Door 150/210/Handyman wagon. The car runs really well and looks sweet cruising down the road but has not been frame off restored. This is a driver quality car that can be taken to the next level or simply enjoyed as is. Don't even think about buying this one if you don't like attention as it draws a crowd EVERYWHERE! Please have funds or financing lined up before bidding. We may consider interesting trades on this one but please be serious in any trade offers. Please read description fully before asking questions as we try to be very descriptive in our listings. Now on to the good stuff!

History – We picked up the car from a gentleman in MO. He stated that it was a Texas car which was the reason for virtually no rust.

Drivetrain – This wagon is powered by a smooth running 350 V8. She felt a little sluggish so we put on a new Edelbrock intake manifold matched with a 4 barrel Edelrock carburetor. Now its moving down the road like it should. The motor appears stock and has cherry bomb exhaust. 350 Turbo transmission with a T handle shifter. We reconnected the kick down cable as well. We just changed the oil, transmission and brake fluids along with a coolant flush which mean this one is ready for the road!

Exterior – Overall this wagon has a straight body but with an amateur/driver quality paint job. It could stand to be repainted to take it to the next level. It's not the most expensive paint job and the prep was less than perfect but it is a neat color. There are some dings and chips here and there with some body filler in a few places as well. Chrome is in really good condition. We installed new inner weather stripping around the two front doors and new window felt in the roll down front windows. It could still use new weather stripping at the front corner window glass along with the back door as well as the outer stripping around the exterior glass. All the glass is in good shape. The windows are tinted and it could stand to be removed.

Underneath - The chassis is very solid and mostly rust free except for some minor rust in the front floor plans(see pics). They were temporarily patched with some sheet metal before the carpet was installed. Not very major and could be left alone or repaired if you wanted to paint the car. The whole underneath appears to have been painted with black paint and looks pretty good.

Interior – The interior is very clean and appears to have been redone not too long ago. Front and rear bench seats in great shape. Nice black carpet and nice black headliner. Dash was painted black and looks pretty good but not perfect. There is currently no radio but the dash was cut previously for one. There is also currently no heat or AC. Heater has been removed. Speedometer and gas gauge work. We also just installed a new sending unit in the gas tank.

Chassis/Suspension - Basically stock although we did just lower it approximately 2 inches. Cut two coils off the front springs and used 2" blocks on the rear. Rides nicely and looks awesome! Manual steering and drum brakes but is very easy to drive and stops really well. Brakes were just bled with new brake fluid.

Wheels/tires – New 17" REV wheels all the way around with brand new staggered Nexen rubber.

Known issues not mentioned above – If it sits there may be a drop of fluid but not much if any at all. When the transmission is really cold, may have to rev the engine before it drops into gear.

Title - Clean and clear SC title in my possession.

About us - M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was founded and started by myself and my best friend of almost 30 years now. While M.E.S. was “officially” put into action around 2012, it really started back in the 90’s during our high school days. Even back then we were in each other’s garage every weekend working on our cars. We have always shared the same enthusiasm for that one thing…..Automobiles!  Hot rods, classics, customs, sports cars, fast cars, loud cars, basically anything with 4 wheels and an engine. For as long as I can remember we’ve always enjoyed “playing” with cars and recently decided to share our passion and creativity with others and thus M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was officially launched . At this time we are not licensed car dealers but rather auto enthusiasts with a passion for buying and selling cars to and from other auto enthusiasts and collectors.  Our goal is to sell cars that you can actually get into and drive anywhere!  We believe that cars are actually meant to be driven on the road and not just stored. A lot of the cars that we find are from individuals who are simply not using them anymore or that started restoring them but never finished. Some cars may just need some cleaning and a tune up while other may need paint or finish work. Whatever the case is, we try to address any issues and get them road worthy. We hate to see any car just sitting, rotting or not being used. We believe that everyone out there should have the car of their dreams and that they should be able to drive it anywhere they want to go!

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.

EarthCruiser adds a bigger camper option to its heavy duty pickup line

Tue, Sep 29 2020

EarthCruiser is a camper and expedition vehicle company based out of Oregon that we've previously covered for its huge commercial truck-based machines. But they offer more than that, from drop-in campers for smaller pickups to heavy duty pickup conversions. The company's latest product is one of the latter, offering a larger camping area than the current EXD model. This new camper conversion is called the Terranova. The big differentiator between it and the EXD is the camper section, which extends over the truck cab on the Terranova. This means that bed space can be moved to above the truck cab, instead of having to use a convertible dinette. So less reconfiguring, and generally more usable space. One other major difference is that the EXD is only available for the Ram 3500 and Ford F-350. The Terranova is being designed for both of those trucks as well as the Chevy Silverado 3500. The EarthCruiser Terranova is otherwise very similar to other EarthCruiser models. The camper section is made of fiberglass and plastic, and the pop-up roof is insulated with foam. The curtains are triple-layered. The company says it can house four people. It comes with a freshwater tank and pump to help supply the kitchen sink, drinking water tap, bathroom sink and indoor and outdoor showers. There's also a cassette toilet. The kitchen features an induction stove top and small refrigerator and freezer. A fan system is standard, and air conditioning is optional. Power comes from a 400-aH lithium-ion battery. The Terranova isn't yet available. EarthCruiser is finishing up design and engineering, and it plans to have finished examples early next year. The company is taking reservations now, though. Pricing hasn't been announced, but an EXD runs between $220,000 and $265,000, and we would expect the Terranova to cost even more.
