1954 Chevrolet 210 Handyman Wagon on 2040-cars
Flowood, Mississippi, United States
|
I
just bought the car of my dreams from a seller in Colorado, a 1954 Chevy 210
Handyman wagon. My first car was a 54 Chevy and I have wanted to hot rod one
with a modern chassis and drive train ever since. I am now old enough and have
enough money to do it but it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out this
time; this car is near perfect for what I had planned but for personal reasons
based on occurrences this week I am unable to continue with the project. So, it
is now time to sell it and hope there will be a better time for the project in
the future. The
previous owner did not give a good, complete description, but I will try to
here. The body of this wagon is in excellent condition for a 60 year old car. I
have observed no rust, there is good fit for all the panels and doors and all
the chrome and stainless shows well. In all, this car was just what I wanted
for my purposes. The car has been repainted not too long ago in an original
Chevy color “saddle Brown” (color code #559) and the repaint was very good both
inside and out. All the interior; seats, doors and headliner, has been redone
in white Naugahyde. The front windshield is cracked and there is Plexiglas in
the driver side window. I have purchased a new windshield and gasket and driver
side window (see the packing slip picture) they are Included with the car in
this sale. There are single cracks in both rear passenger windows but the glass
appears to be original. Any additional replacement glass needed can be obtained
from Bob’s Classic Auto Glass in Eugene, OR. Also the horn ring with the HARD
TO FIND brown center emblem is missing; however, I did find one (see the
picture) and it will also be included with the car in this sale . The car comes
with a visor, skirts and dummy spot lights. The rear view mirror will need to
be replaced. The car has seat belts that I believe are recent additions. All
the mechanics, chassis and drive train are original and in good working
condition, the battery appears fairly new but I had to jump start it the first
time. After it warmed up the 235 ci in line 6 cylinder purred just like mine
did back in the 50’s and the 2 speed “power glide” transmission shifted
smoothly. The fuel gauge does not work. The brakes work and the tires are new.
Also new, according to the previous owner, are the front springs, rims,
hubcaps, brakes, battery, gas tank, filler neck, Petronix electronic ignition,
cap, rotor, wires, plugs and a recent valve train adjustment. Headlights,
taillights and turn signals all work. This
is a good car. The reserve price is a little less than I paid, happy bidding
and call me with any questions at (601) 932-1155, Tom. |

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
