This is a very original, rare, and solid Chevy 210 series two door hard top. Out of approx 62,000 + hard tops built in 1953, only 14,000 or so 210 series cars were produced. The rest were Belairs. It only has 92,634actual miles on it. Very solid and straight body car with no signs of rust repair that I can see. All original body panels, floor pans, rockers, body mounts, fenders, door bottoms, etc. with no rust or repair work. The underside of this car looks to have been sand blasted to bare metal and painted black. Very nice job. See pics. ( the brown spots are just mud splatters from a country road with mud puddles ) The one re-paint is very shinny, smooth, and in great shape. Looks to be a single stage urethane enamel job. All of the stainless trim is in great shape. Chrome is presentable, but I would re-chrome both bumpers and grille. The grille is in great shape but it was painted chrome for some reason? I have both front and rear Chevrolet hood emblems that were removed. Both need re-chroming and new plastics if put back on. The hood bird is new reproduction. Have original in trunk also. Also have like new fender skirts and sun visors. New tune up items, belt, hoses, battery. Included is original wheels and hubcaps, and a power assist rack and pinion steering set-up for it, including the frame bracket. Suspension is all new including shocks. It was lowered the right way with dropped spindles and rear spacers. ( see pics ) New shocks, exhaust, brakes, Wide White Wall tires, etc. The wheels are rare and "REAL" original E T uni-lug all aluminum wheels. This car sits right, looks right, drives right, and stops right. You can drive it anywhere and get back home. All lights work. All gauges work. Radio and wipers do not work. Seat covers and door panels appear to be all original and still very nice except for some age stains. Headliner and carpeting has been replaced with new. Still has that great old car smell every time you open up a door. Glass is all good and rolls up and down as it should. Even the trim around the glass is in very good shape. The original 236 engine was completely rebuilt. The 3 speed transmission shifts great. Has a new clutch. Original spare still in the trunk.   


This car could very easily put back to totally original condition for the purist. 

Car runs out really well. Fly in and drive it home. 

All in all, this is one of the nicest rust free cars of this style that I have come across for many years, and when was the last time you seen a 1953 Chevrolet 210 series 2 door hardtop for sale?

Corvette Z06. Nissan GT-R Nismo. Motor Trend Head 2 Head. 'Nuff said.

Wed, Feb 11 2015

Here is a video we've been waiting for, one that will get broadband fiber optic cables glowing like Hooker headers on a dyno. For Episode 62 of Head 2 Head, Motor Trend throws the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 into the bear pit with the latest Nissan GT-R Nismo. What comes out of that is seventeen minutes of don't-look-away video. We're only going to give you the specs. The 3,527-pound Z06 gets on with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 650 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque, applied to the wheels via a seven-speed manual transmission. With the Z07 performance package appended it has a front splitter and winglets, and a three-section rear spoiler among its aero aids. The tested model also wore carbon ceramic brakes, which helped push its $89,985 MSRP out to $105,210. The 3,881-pound GT-R Nismo plays the underdog – again – with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 spitting out 600 hp and 481 lb-ft, yoked to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The GT-R left its 'performance bargain' days behind years ago, and this top-shelf version starts at $151,585 but has almost everything it can get, so the as-tested price was only a skosh more at $151,880. We're not going to tell you any more than that. Click on the video and let Carlos Lago and his two mean minions tell you a story you won't soon forget.

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets

North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed

Thu, Nov 17 2022

The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities.  The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit.  The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year.  Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting.  50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.
