1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible Classically styled with hidden improvements Modern American classic with sensible upgrades and a surprise styling touch. Full restoration, finished in mint green & ivory,
an excellent driver and real head-turner, especially with its low-profile rear tonneau cover
that turns the car into a four-passenger roadster. To increase the Bel Air's reliability and drivability, old
265 V8 was removed and replaced with a fresh crate motor Chevrolet 350, hooked
up to a new Turbo 350 automatic transmission and rebuilt rear end.
Original-style valve covers and a rare "batwing" air-cleaner setup
for the dual-quad carbs keep a mid-'50s vibe in the engine bay. At the same
time an all-new exhaust system was fitted. Greatly upping the car's ability to mix it up with modern traffic are aftermarket front disc brakes. Like the engine, this upgrade is all but invisible, hidden behind the original-size wheels and NOS hubcaps. At the same time, the suspension was renewed with all-new shocks, springs and bushings. The car has been driven less than 500 since the improvements. It's always been stored inside, covered, and is regularly detailed. This car's interior is a highlight, refinished to showroom
spec in greens and chrome and stainless-steel, with a big comfy bench front
seat. Recent addition is all-new period-correct wool carpeting. Likewise, the
trunk compartment is immaculate. What really sets the car apart is removal of the convertible
top and its metal framework, replaced with a custom low-profile tonneau cover
in color-matched vinyl with button snaps. This transforms the car into a unique
roadster and greatly streamlines the side profile. Car located in Southern California, is currently registered and
has a clear California title. Features: ·

GM ending stop-sale order on heavy-duty trucks
Tue, Apr 26 2022General Motors responded to an inquiry from Autoblog regarding a stop-sale order on its full-size heavy-duty pickup trucks. Here's GM's official statement. GM is committed to building the highest quality products possible. We paused delivery on a small number of HD pickups with the 6.6 liter Duramax engine last week to finalize an investigation into a potential quality issue. The investigation has been completed and the stop sale will be lifted for the small number of vehicles at dealerships.Customers can be assured GM’s heavy duty pickups are covered by a 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. The original article continues below. General Motors has reportedly sent its Chevrolet and GMC dealers a stop-sale order that applies to some examples of the 2022 Silverado HD, the 2022 Silverado MD, and the 2022 Sierra HD. The units affected by the stop-sale order may develop an engine-related problem. Citing anonymous sources, website GM Authority wrote that the Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 in the affected trucks can hydrolock, which means liquid could enter the cylinders and cause a substantial amount of damage. The report does not specify where the liquid would come from; hydrolocking can happen by driving through a deep puddle of water, for example, but a large amount of coolant can cause it as well. The publication adds that the stop-sale order was assigned internal reference number N222362910. It also notes that the trucks included in it can't be sold, delivered to buyers, traded with another dealer, sent to auction, or even used for demonstration purposes until further notice. Earlier in April 2022, GM Authority reported that General Motors planned to buy back an unspecified number of Silverado HD and Sierra HD trucks due to quality-related issues with the 6.6-liter V8. Details about the problems experienced by customers haven't been released; all we know is that each truck will be replaced, though the replacement may not have the same equipment due to the ongoing chip shortage.

Jay Leno drives Joe Rogan's '65 Chevy Corvette restomod
Tue, Sep 1 2015Restomod classics often look great rolling down the road, but they can be an absolute mess underneath. That's the problem comedian Joe Rogan discovered after purchasing his 1965 Corvette convertible that was already extensively modified. Once work began to improve it further, some serious issues were discovered. Now, Rogan's rejuvenated 'Vette has received a thorough update on the latest, extra-long edition of Jay Leno's Garage. Rogan's additional upgrades include a new interior and adding nacelles behind the seats. Power is up thanks to a supercharger for the LS1 V8. Now only do you get to hear the engine roar, but Leno and Rogan also take the convertible for a long ride in the Los Angeles hills. They reminisce about liking cars as kids, the current state of General Motors, and Rogan's work with the UFC. Leno also shares a funny story about a confusing discussion with Marlon Brando. With the beautiful 'Vette and the great conversation, there's a lot here to like. Related Video:
