I have beautifully looking, sounding, driving, and handling 1955 Chevy 210 Club Coupe with the Delray Trim Package. This car enjoyed a ground up restoration a little over 5 years ago and has only been driven to and from local car shows. This car has the best of both worlds with all original 1955 Chevy looks but state of the art, late model performance and comfort upgrades. No money was spared in this resto-mod and it rides down the road like my new Lexus. Newly registered, come and get it before an ebay bidder does.

I haven't seen many 55s cleaner than my 55. I would grade this 9.5 out of a 10 and 10 being show car ready. It needs interior windlace trim but I am ordering that now and will replace it. With this type of restoration there is too much to list and make sense of from a $45k restoration but here are the highlights. The new factory tinted glass, 4 wheel power disc brakes, power steering and tubular front suspension makes this car awesome to drive, it feels so good around turns, clovers, or winding roads.

I will sell it but would have preferred a trade for a 1932-1934 three or five window coupe and for this 55 to find a true 50s Delray lover.

Exterior:
- Beautiful Acrylic Urethane factory Neptune Green and white paint job. Body was shaved of all emblems, ornaments, and keyhole before blocked to perfection responsible for its wave free finish. All trim and drive train removed and replaced for painting, and the finish is a 9.9 out of 10.
- New B.F. Goodrich 215/65P-15R Wide Whitewall Tires on new Chrome Rims.
- All new factory tinted glass, windshields, and rubber seals.
- 1 piece bumpers added.

Electrical:

- The electrical system is perfect. A new wiring harness and fuse box was installed and integrated with the Chrome Plated Flaming River Tilt Steering Column and custom steering wheel. All lights work well inside and out, heater and fan controls work well and are smooth in operation.

- Car was converted to a 12V system with a High Output Chrome Alternator. The horn stopped working but I will investigate it. I was also told the Delray model was suppose to have a cigarette lighter but this does not and I have not investigated where it goes.

- Winshield wiper motor is new electric working great.



 Interior:
- Original factory Delray Trim interior that came with the car but is in great condition for its age. Driver's seat repaired but everything else is in good condition. New factory style carpet and floor mats.
- All interior trim painted or polished Sea Mist Green.
- Pioneer AM/FM, CD, Aux, USB, and Bluetooth Stereo with Cellular hands free
- Electric pop trunk button under dash
- Factory trunk mat, spare tire, and bumper jack.

Drive Train:
- Complete Power Steering conversion with new steering box, pitman arm, idler arm and center link.

- Complete 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes, minimum offset stock spindle wheel kit, rear brake kit for original rear end 8" booster assembly and pre-bent hard line kit. This drastically improves the ride, braking, steering and handling.

- Front Tubular Suspension, heat treated, CNC wound and factory tested front coil springs, performance graphite upper and lower control arm bushings, and bumpstops -- engineered to give superior performance, strut rod bushings, upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, tie rod adjusting sleeves, and idler arm. Sway bar bushings and end link. Flaming River Chrome Tilt Column.

- T5 5 Speed Transmission with Overdrive, new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. Third member was replaced with a fresh rebuilt 3.36:1 gear change to taller gears and the car cruises nicely at 80 to 85 down the highway.

- The underbody of this car remains in great drivers condition free of corrosion. The rear ends 3rd member was detail painted before installation, as well as the T5 Five Speed Transmission. All suspension components were power coated or baked enameled.

 This car is one of the best condition cars I've owned or restored. Money was not an issue when resto-modifying this 1955 but not its time for change. I was looking to trade this car for a resto-mod 1930s streetrod of the same or greater value of $30,000. Preferably a 1933 or 1934 Ford. Come drive this car and you'll be amazed at how great this restoration was completed. I can also take this to ANY mechanic you want to inspect this vehicle because I know you can drive this anywhere in the country without fear. Shipping is easy from San Diego area.

 Here is a YOU TUBE video of the car.

2016 Chevy Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition brings track style to the road

Fri, Apr 24 2015

The Chevrolet Corvette has a long history of excelling at endurance racing, and continues to dominate today. To celebrate that legacy, Chevy is bringing some of the look of its track machine to the road with the 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition. These machines might be gone faster than the racecar's lap time around Le Mans, because the company is building just 500 of them. All of these track-inspired, special editions are based on the 650-horsepower, supercharged Z06 in the top 3LZ trim, and they also come equipped with the Z07 Performance Package that includes carbon-ceramic brakes, adjustable aero elements, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Offered as a coupe or convertible, these 'Vettes use some tricks to match the style of the C7.R. They're available in the racer's traditional bright yellow livery, but black is optional. Unpainted carbon fiber trim (including material for the hood) and grilles that are painted Spectra Gray Metallic also add to the motorsport look. The car rides on a set of black wheels with Corvette Racing logos on the center caps. Inside, buyers of this limited edition are nestled in Competition Sport Seats that are upholstered in Jet Black leather. Suede microfiber accents with yellow stitching cover the steering wheel, gearshift, instrument panel and doors. Plus, there's some additional carbon fiber trim for good measure. Each car also comes with a cover with C7.R graphics. Chevy isn't disclosing the price for the Z06 C7.R Edition yet, but the limited edition model is slated to hit the market later this year.

It's offered in Corvette Racing's signature yellow livery – or black – with coordinated exterior and interior accents. Only 500 examples of the C7.R Edition will be built and all will include the Z07 Performance Package with carbon ceramic brakes, as well as a specially serialized vehicle identification number. They go on sale later this year. "Corvette Racing's legacy and technology were significant influences on the development of the Corvette Z06 and the new C7.R Edition honors the direct link between the racecar and the production model," said Harlan Charles, Corvette product and marketing manager.

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain technical details

Wed, Feb 11 2015

The last time General Motors launched a Chevy Volt, it was operating without really knowing how people would use the plug-in hybrid. Sure, it had experience with the EV1, but the Volt was a new kind of car, and you can see in the archives just how much time GM spent explaining this fresh, new powertrain to potential customers. Then, once the vehicle was released, the company collected voluntary data from a large number of owners to learn about their driving and charging habits. The company also asked them what they wanted most in the new version. There's got to be an algorithm buried somewhere in GM headquarters that was used to take all of the numbers GM collected and spat out the headline figures for the 2016 Volt: 50 miles of EV range and 41 miles per gallon. Another important number – price – is something GM isn't talking about yet (expect it in April or May), but the company is sharing some powertrain details about the upcoming car. At a preview lunch in Detroit last week for the SAE 2015 Hybrid & Electric Vehicles Technologies Symposium that's happening now in California, GM engineers Peter Savagian (who is presenting a paper on the new inverter used in the updated Volt) and Tim Grewe (talking about the entire second-generation powertrain) sat down with AutoblogGreen to tell us about the Volt's all-new propulsion system: The overall gist is that the new Voltec 5ET50 drive unit is lighter, smaller and more powerful thanks to a redesigned two-motor traction drive. As previously reported, the new engine is a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder that offers 101-horsepower (at 5,600 RPM). Grewe said it's "great for range extension." The electric motor side of the powertrain offers 149 motoring horsepower from a two-motor, continuously variable transaxle. Initially, the new engine will be made in Mexico. GM will move production to Flint, MI during the first year it makes the 2016 Volt. The battery is slightly bigger in the new Volt – 18.4 kWh compared to 16.5 in the current-gen – and will have less range variation in the cold. GM is also using more of the overall capacity in the pack in the 2016 Volt than in previous versions, but is not saying how much more. GM is not ready to publish acceleration times just yet, but the 2016 Volt has improved numbers, especially when going from 30-60 miles per hour. Most everything on the new powertrain has become more efficient compared to the first-gen Volt.

New recall issued in 2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra brake software saga

Tue, Feb 11 2020

General Motors (GM) has issued a new recall for select 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks that aims to resolve a faulty fix for a previous recall. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) campaign No. 20V055000, a software update for the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) could cause the electronic brake assist to be disabled.  The NHTSA first launched a recall for 463,995 Silverados, Sierras, and Cadillac CT6es on December 12, 2019 due to a software issue in the electronic brake control module (EBCM) that could disable the electronic stability control (ESC) and anti-lock braking system (ABS). As a response and resolution to that recall, GM began to reprogram the software in affected vehicles. GM later learned that the fix was creating a different problem. The installed software had its own error that was disabling the electronic brake assist. If customers see “Service Brake Assist” or “Service ECS" diagnostic warnings, they should park the vehicle and have it towed to a dealership, GM warns. While GM was going through the process of testing, pinpointing the issue, determining action and working with the NHTSA, safety experts have criticized Chevrolet and GMC for not reacting promptly and appropriately.  According to the recall, 148,055 are now affected, all of which do not meet the standards of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 126, "Electronic Stability Control" and 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems." To fix the braking issue, GM will once again reprogram the software. GM began notifying owners of the recall on February 10, 2020. Related Video:
