1955 Chevrolet Bel Air on 2040-cars
Valparaiso, Florida, United States
1955 Chevy Bel Air two door post. I bought this car about 20 years ago in Alabama with the hopes of fixing it up but I'm in the military and just haven't had the time. I've spent a lot of time and money on it over the years but as you can see, I've let it sit around too long this time and it needs attention by someone who has the time. Drivetrain: 383 stroker, 350 turbo and 3.23 10 bolt posi rear-end. Engine NOT running, will turnover and start but won't stay running - Rack and pinion power steering - Front disc brakes - Chrome tilt steering column. (starting to pit from sitting around) - Duel exhaust - 2" drop springs on the front, installed urethane bushings years ago - Griffin 4 core aluminum radiator Negatives: - Has 383 stroker that was professionally built about 15 years ago. I haven't driven this car in over 2 1/2 years so I'm NOT claiming it runs or drives(but sure it will with some work). I can say I've only put around 4-5 thousand miles on it. - Will need complete interior, what you see in pictures is what will be included - Will need body work, front floor pans(see pictures) . I stripped this car down to bare metal and used spray can primer to cover bare metal. I'm almost 100% sure that the quarters, floor, rocker panels and trunk are original. Left side front fender in in excellent condition, Hood is in good condition, right side front fender is in fair condition, right door is in poor condition(I pulled creases out but would probably re-skin), left rear quarter panel has rot in front of wheel well, right rear quarter panel is in good shape(a little bondo), trunk is in decent shape, a little rot on inside weld seem, trunk is decent, has rot in back half(see pictures), roof will need work right above drivers door(see picture) Positives: - All stainless is there and in really good shape, I removed it all 20 years ago and stored inside. - Bought pretty much all chrome and emblems brand new and it's all still in like new condition in boxes to include: At least $2,000 in chrome parts 10 piece triple chrome bumper 4 piece grill surround(top and bottom pieces got damp somehow so they're not in brand new condition but still very nice) Hood Bird Headlight bezels Parking light bezels Taillight bezels with solid red lens Bel Air scripts Door handles Wiper bezels Gold crests All window felts trunk seal I replace all the glass in the car with smoked tinted glass but a vandal busted the passenger side windows. Front/back windshield and driver side glass is in great shape. VIN: C 55N041181 Cowl Tag: Style 55-1011D Body N 5689 Trim 531 Paint 627 I'm sure I'm missing a lot of stuff so feel free to contact me for more information or pictures. |

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
