Amazing 1955 Chevrolet 210 Project Nearly Completed!! on 2040-cars

US $25,000.00
Year:1955 Mileage:99000
Location:

1955 Chevrolet 210 that just needs a engine,transmission and some interior parts installed to make an incredible car.

If you are looking for an easy project to complete for a 1955 Chevrolet 210 then this is one to consider.  High end restoration nearly complete.  It only needs the engine, transmission and interior installed.  All bodywork, paint, and all other parts are there already!

From the pictures you can see that most of the parts needed to complete the car are there.  All of the hard work has been done.  The pictures do not do the car justice as it is dusty, but the paint and body is extremely good on this car.  You would be hard pressed to find another one with this small amount remaining to be done on it.  The paint only has one scratch on it, that you can see in the picture.

You only need the transmission, engine of your choice, and the interior.  Car is extremely solid, only had to have new rear floor pans installed.  All other sheet metal is original to the car.  The car has had mini tubs installed in order to get some wider wheels on the back.  The car does have a narrowed 8 inch Ford rear end on it.  It also has had a complete Camaro subframe installed with disc brakes, steering column etc.  

With the car is:

All Glass
Windshield and rear glass is new.  Windows are in great shape and did not need to be replaced
All Chrome is new
Speedometer cluster is new
Steering column is new
Wiring harness is new
Tons of new parts included.  All new rubber moldings, trim, etc.

Needs seats, door panels and carpet to finalize the interior.

The only reason I am selling this car is that I have another project that I need to complete.  It will be a great car for someone and can be ready just in time for spring.  I am just tired of seeing it under the cover waiting to be completed.  I do have a 6.0L LS Motor and 6 Speed transmission that I would consider including for an additional cost.  Bill of sale in Georgia for the car.  It would not take much to make this a $60K to $75K car!

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
