Up for auction is a 1955 Chevy 150 2 door post sedan. The 150 "Business Coupe" came from the factory with no rear seat. This was a very basic sedan that was inexpensive and had no frills. Unlike its big brother the Bel Air the 150 had no extra trim, very few options and was a bare bones sedan used to market the wares of the traveling salesman. Because of the lack of fancy trim and rear seating this little sedan was the lightest of all the Chevrolets and was very sought after, for obvious reasons, by the Drag Racing crowd.

This unbelievably solid example of a real 50's California "Gasser" has been in dry storage in California for many years. I don't have all the history but this hot rod is believed to have been in California most of, if not all of, its life. The car has factory California "one piece" bumpers and all of the sheet metal, including floor pan and trunk pan, appears to be original and exceptionally solid. The factory rear quarter panels were "radius" cut many years ago to accomodate larger tires for drag racing. The popular rear differential back in the 50's and 60's for drag racing was a heavy duty "full size" Pontiac or Olds. This nostalgic gasser still has the 1959 Olds rear. Very rare today. The Danas and Ford 9" rears were not available in that era.

I have waited and searched many years to find an old gasser in this condition just to find I am loosing my garage space and can not complete the project. You will probably never see another 55 Chevy this solid again. Remember these cars are almost 60 years old now. I purchased the car in California and had it shipped to the east coast. The car is now in Daytona Beach, Florida.

 Included in the auction is a perfect running 1970 big block 402 chevy with aluminum dual quad tunnel ram, dual Holley carbs and a 400 turbo trans. There is a video in the photos of the motor running. The drivetrain was just put in place for shipping and the mounts etc will need to be welded in. There is a front straight axel under the car. I believe it is a Speedway. The steering will need to be hooked up as well as brakes etc. This is a project. A nice reverse steering box and many misc parts are included. The rear glass is in the car and the windshield and some side glass is included. There is a driveshaft, radiator, window seals, interior window moldings, etc. included.

The inside front door panels have been cut probably for weight and plexiglass windows. The floor is unbelievably solid with just a small area on the drivers front rusted through. Please view photos. The trunk pan is original and very solid. The holes you see are not rot holes but are where someone cut openings for the rear spring to come through. Obviously to lower the rear for better traction. The spare tire well has been removed. Remember this is a real "old school gasser" .. these are things they did back in the day. There is a California "Off Road Use" sticker from 1977 still on the rear glass and a California Car Club sticker on the rear bumper. Cool stuff. 

The front fenders are just "tacked" to the hood and are real steel and look to be originals. The hood is uncut. The bottoms of the doors, fenders, rockers and quarter drop offs are super nice. The all steel dash has had some custom weld work done for gauges. All around the windows and front and rear glass is super solid and dry. I have never seen one more solid. This will be a great car to complete as a street gasser or put back to original. 

Please view all photos and ask all questions before bidding. Please notice my 100 % perfect 10 year feedback rating...bid with confidence. I have placed a very modest reserve on the car so bid what you can afford and bid to win but please don't ask  what the reserve is as this is an "auction".

The "trim tag" and "vin tag" are intact and in there original correct locations. Also included in the sale is the free and clear California title.
Thank you for looking and bidding ... may the best man / woman win an unbelievable piece of American Drag Racing.

2023 Chevy Equinox price goes up a few hundred bucks

Wed, Sep 21 2022

Chevrolet and GMC have uploaded the configurators for sibling crossovers the 2023 Chevy Equinox and 2023 GMC Terrain. Both get a few changes to improve performance, and new paints. GM jettisoned the turbocharged 1.5-liter gas engine making 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque in both vehicles. Replacing it is a different turbocharged 1.5-liter gas engine making 175 hp and 203 lb-ft. The Equinox sends its power through a six-speed transmission, the Terrain fits a nine-speed transmission. On the Equinox, fuel economy in standard front-wheel drive trims holds steady, but the AWD trims lose one mile per gallon in their city and combined EPA ratings. On the Terrain, FWD trims lose one mile per gallon across the board, the AWD trims lose one mile per gallon in the city only. Both models also upgrade to an electro-hydraulic brake system, leaving vacuum-assisted braking behind. The Equinox color palette drops Cherry Red Tintcoat, Seaglass Blue Metallic and Silver Ice Metallic for replaces with Harvest Bronze Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Sterling Gray Metallic. Buyers who want the razzle dazzle of the Equinox's optional Blackout and Redline Edition Packages are out of luck at the moment, both appearance flourishes unavailable to order. The Terrain's paint menu drops Cayenne Red Tintcoat, Hunter Metallic, and Quicksilver Metallic for Deep Bronze Metallic, Sterling Metallic, and Volcanic Red Tintcoat. All-wheel drive can be added to any Equinox and Terrain trim for $1,600, save for the Terrain AT4 and Denali that come standard with AWD. Prices for the 2023 Chevy Equinox after the $1,395 destination charge, and their differences from 2022, are: Equinox LS: $27,995 ($300) Equinox LT: $29,095 ($300) Equinox RS: $32,095 ($100) Equinox Premier: $33,195 ($300) New pricing for the 2023 GMC Terrain can only be seen when you visit the configurator's Summary page. The initial Build & Price page shows MSRP before the $1,500 premium on every trim to that pays for the mandatory OnStar with Connected Services plan. After the $1,395 destination charge, the new prices are: Terrain SLE: $31,295 Terrain SLT: $35,295 Terrain AT4: $37,395 Terrain Denali: $39,995  

GM recalls 668,000 SUVs due to faulty anchor bars for child seats

Fri, May 19 2023

DETROIT — General Motors is recalling more than 668,000 small SUVs in the U.S. because owners may not be able to hook child seats to the anchors. The recall covers certain 2020 to 2023 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain SUVs. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents posted on its website Thursday that the rear-seat lower anchor bars may have had too much powder coating. That could make them too thick and prevent a child seat from being installed. GM says no crashes or injuries have been reported. The automaker is asking owners to install child seats using the seatbelts until the latches are repaired. Dealers will inspect the anchors and replace the finish if necessary. Owners will be notified by letter starting June 26.   Recalls Chevrolet GM GMC SUV child safety car seat

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
