1955 Chevy Two Door Wagon! Very Cool! Thanks for checking out this cool ride offered by M.E.S. Motorsports; where our cars are notorious for Making Everyone Stare! What we have for sale here is a very solid 1955 Chevy Two Door 150/210/Handyman wagon. The car runs really well and looks sweet cruising down the road but has not been frame off restored. This is a driver quality car that can be taken to the next level or simply enjoyed as is. Don't even think about buying this one if you don't like attention as it draws a crowd EVERYWHERE! Please have funds or financing lined up before bidding. We may consider interesting trades on this one but please be serious in any trade offers. Please read description fully before asking questions as we try to be very descriptive in our listings. Now on to the good stuff! History – We picked up the car from a gentleman in MO. He stated that it was a Texas car which was the reason for virtually no rust. Drivetrain – This wagon is powered by a smooth running 350 V8. She felt a little sluggish so we put on a new Edelbrock intake manifold matched with a 4 barrel Edelrock carburetor. Now its moving down the road like it should. The motor appears stock and has cherry bomb exhaust. 350 Turbo transmission with a T handle shifter. We reconnected the kick down cable as well. We just changed the oil, transmission and brake fluids along with a coolant flush which mean this one is ready for the road! Exterior – Overall this wagon has a straight body but with an amateur/driver quality paint job. It could stand to be repainted to take it to the next level. It's not the most expensive paint job and the prep was less than perfect but it is a neat color. There are some dings and chips here and there with some body filler in a few places as well. Chrome is in really good condition. We installed new inner weather stripping around the two front doors and new window felt in the roll down front windows. It could still use new weather stripping at the front corner window glass along with the back door as well as the outer stripping around the exterior glass. All the glass is in good shape. The windows are tinted and it could stand to be removed. Underneath - The chassis is very solid and mostly rust free except for some minor rust in the front floor plans(see pics). They were temporarily patched with some sheet metal before the carpet was installed. Not very major and could be left alone or repaired if you wanted to paint the car. The whole underneath appears to have been painted with black paint and looks pretty good. Interior – The interior is very clean and appears to have been redone not too long ago. Front and rear bench seats in great shape. Nice black carpet and nice black headliner. Dash was painted black and looks pretty good but not perfect. There is currently no radio but the dash was cut previously for one. There is also currently no heat or AC. Heater has been removed. Speedometer and gas gauge work. We also just installed a new sending unit in the gas tank. Chassis/Suspension - Basically stock although we did just lower it approximately 2 inches. Cut two coils off the front springs and used 2" blocks on the rear. Rides nicely and looks awesome! Manual steering and drum brakes but is very easy to drive and stops really well. Brakes were just bled with new brake fluid. Wheels/tires – New 17" REV wheels all the way around with brand new staggered Nexen rubber. Known issues not mentioned above – If it sits there may be a drop of fluid but not much if any at all. When the transmission is really cold, may have to rev the engine before it drops into gear. Title - Clean and clear SC title in my possession. More pictures can be seen here: http://s1318.photobucket.com/user/mesmotorsports/library/1955%20Chevy%20210%20Two%20Door%20Wagon About us - M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was founded and started by myself and my best friend of almost 30 years now. While M.E.S. was “officially” put into action around 2012, it really started back in the 90’s during our high school days. Even back then we were in each other’s garage every weekend working on our cars. We have always shared the same enthusiasm for that one thing…..Automobiles! Hot rods, classics, customs, sports cars, fast cars, loud cars, basically anything with 4 wheels and an engine. For as long as I can remember we’ve always enjoyed “playing” with cars and recently decided to share our passion and creativity with others and thus M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was officially launched . At this time we are not licensed car dealers but rather auto enthusiasts with a passion for buying and selling cars to and from other auto enthusiasts and collectors. Our goal is to sell cars that you can actually get into and drive anywhere! We believe that cars are actually meant to be driven on the road and not just stored. A lot of the cars that we find are from individuals who are simply not using them anymore or that started restoring them but never finished. Some cars may just need some cleaning and a tune up while other may need paint or finish work. Whatever the case is, we try to address any issues and get them road worthy. We hate to see any car just sitting, rotting or not being used. We believe that everyone out there should have the car of their dreams and that they should be able to drive it anywhere they want to go!

Auto blog
2018 Autoblog Technology of the Year finalists
Wed, Jan 10 2018After months of prepping and several days of testing, we narrowed the field for Autoblog's 2018 Tech of the Year award to the Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system, the Lexus LC 500h and its new hybrid powertrain, and the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and its trick Multimatic spool-valve off-road shocks. Three very different cars with very different technologies duking it out for the award. Look for news of our winner at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. We hand out this award every year to the technology or feature that we feel moves the bar forward for the automotive industry. Read more here on how our testing process works. We discuss, debate and count up score sheets, judging each vehicle and technology on a few different criteria. Is its purpose noteworthy? Does it work well? Does it advance the industry? The Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist was actually a prototype, as the technology will first debut in the 2018 Nissan Leaf. Still, we're here to test the tech and not the car. ProPilot Assist combines adaptive cruise control system combined with lane-keeping assistance. The system uses sonar, radar and a number of cameras for some light semi-autonomous driving and enhanced safety. While these systems aren't new individually, Nissan's system is affordable, intuitive, and coming to a mainstream product — democratizing the tech in a novel way, if you will. That's why it's here. The Lexus LC 500h uses a new powertrain that Lexus has dubbed the Multi-Stage Hybrid System. Basically it combines two types of transmissions — a CVT and a four-speed automatic — in a single unit mated to a naturally aspirated V6. That's complex and unorthodox technology, and Lexus engineered it to give drivers the efficiency of a CVT without sacrificing driving enjoyment. The package is subtle, working in the background to create a nearly seamless driving experience. It's engaging in a way most other hybrids can only dream of. The fact that it's wrapped in such gorgeous sheetmetal only makes things better. The Multimatic spool valve shocks in the Chevy Colorado ZR2 might seem low-tech compared to ProPilot Assist and the Lexus Multi-Stage Hybrid, but they represent a completely novel application of a technology that several years ago was so expensive that it was reserved for top-tier race cars. Like the LC 500h, these shocks really change your perception of how a vehicle like this should drive.
eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Chevy 1500 454 SS with just 7 miles
Sun, Jan 4 2015When trawling the classifieds either on a buying mission or merely a time-wasting mission, we spend a lot of time poring over photographs comparing the seller's idea of "Like New!" with our idea of it. It's hard to argue with seven original miles on the odometer, though, which is what this 1990 Chevrolet 1500 454 SS has. It's being sold by Country Chevrolet on eBay, the same dealer who sold the truck to its one and only owner 25 years ago. The purchaser bought two of them and left this one in a garage under a car cover, said garage being less than seven miles away from the showroom floor. Better yet, you can buy with confidence because the seller "has collected all records," which we expect would be the slimmest manilla folder in the history of receipt-keeping. For those unfamiliar, the 454 SS was a half-ton, regular cab, 2WD pickup powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) V8 with 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque shifting through a three-speed transmission. This was at the same time the Chevrolet Corvette used a 5.7-liter V8 producing 250 hp and 350 lb-ft. The pickup rode on exclusive wheels and only came in black with red cloth inside. The only extra-cost option on this example is an $18 locking fuel filler cap, which, according to the 454ss forum, means it should have cost about $18,460 out the door, the equivalent of about $34,000 today. At the time of writing there are zero bids, but proceedings open at $45,000 and Country Chevrolet wants $49,000 if you have to have your time capsule right now.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
