You are looking at an incredible 1956 Chevy Bel Air 2 door sedan. This car has it's original 265 V8 engine and a 3 speed manual transmission with shift on the column. The engine is numbers matching, and I have the original paperwork to prove it. This car has not been restored! It is in amazing original condition! She is Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige, and these are the original colors. I was lucky enough to find the car in Franklin Square, NY last year. I had the car appraised by a specialist, and he was amazed by the condition of the car. He believes it to be all original, except he said that the front fenders look like they have been re-sprayed many years ago. I have a full documented report from the appraiser, and I will give it to the new owner. The car has all of it's original equipment, and everything works, except for the clock in the dash. Even the AM tube radio works! It has the dealer installed window washer squirters, the remote spot light, and the optional rubber floor mats. The seats and armrests are showing some wear, please see the pics. This car runs and drives extremely well. I do drive it and enjoy it. The motor starts right up, and runs super smooth. The clutch feels perfect, and the transmissin shifts great. The 4 wheel drum brakes work well, considering they are manual drums!
The car has been extremely well kept over the years. The 2 previous owners had the car in climate controled garages. The car was undercoated, and I believe that helped the car stay so nice. All body panels look to be 100% original. The floor pans and inner and outer rockers look great, with zero rust. The body mounts look great too. Even the bottoms of the doors have no rust, it is just amazing how clean this car still is. The paint is still nice, some of the gold is thin in spots, but it has the right to be, it is 57 years old. The stainless trim is in amazing shape, and looks great. The chrome is nice, but is a little dull in spots. The doors open and close perfectly, with zero effort. All of the windows roll down properly also. The exhaust system was replaced recently, as well as the front engine mounts, and the idler arm. It also has a modern battery in it. The 265 V8 has a 2 barrel carb, and single exhaust.
I bought this car with every intension of making it into a pro-touring resto mod with an LS-1, a 6-speed, big wheels, and 4 wheel disc brakes. I now realize that this car is way too nice and too important to ever modify it. It really is special. The appraiser yelled at me, and told me that the car is a time capsule, and should be stored in a climate controled bubble, and not driven. I am not willing to do that, so I am looking to move on, but I want the car to go to a good home. I do know that the current trend in the collector car hobby is about un-restored survivor cars, so I am sure someone will really apreciate this old girl. Please look at the pics. This car is not perfect, it is NOT restored, it is 57 years old, and in amazing shape for it's age. I feel that you should come and stand in front of the car, before you make any opinions about it. I will be happy to show anyone the car, if you are a serious buyer.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
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.
