1956 Chevrolet 2 door station wagon. Low mile custom restoration that took a year and over $80,000. to build. Car was a body off restoration and set back on a custom chassis from Art Morrison. A super nice west coast body was treated to an unbelievable paint job in the metallic blue and silver colors. Body features all new dark tinted glass, new rubbers and felts, new or restored chrome and stainless that is perfect. Bumpers are the smooth type with no bolts showing. The chassis has a lowered stance with tubular "A" arms and trailing arms, coil over shocks, sway bars, tubular cross members, and boxed frame rails. Car is fitted with 17' front,18" rear custom wheels and is stopped with large diameter 4 wheel disc brakes, rotors are drilled and slotted. Drive train start with a fresh GM 502 inch big block motor with performance upgrades, hooked to a 700R4 overdrive transmission, back thru a custom built driveshaft to a 9 inch Ford posi rearend with 4:11 gears. Fuel tank is a custom stainless unit in the stock location and filled thru the left hand tail light as are all 56 Chevys. The interior is ultra nice and comfortable with custom cloth and vinyl upholstery, Power steering, power brakes, aftermarket tilt steering column, Vintage air and heat system, hidden stereo with remote 6 disc cd changer, Dakota Digital instrument panel, and the electric system completely replaced with a modern system. There is much more to this very high end custom build and I can supply many more pictures and details on request. As you often hear, the pictures do not reflect the detail and beauty of the professional build of this car. I can store for a short time if needed and will assist you and your shipper as needed. I have a friend who might consider a trade for an LS2 or LS3 engine or GM 60s muscle cars. I am located in central Oklahoma. I will sell to overseas buyers but you must arrange all details. Thanks for looking!!

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
