     This is a nice, low mileage '53 Chevrolet.  It only has 63k original miles on it and is in excellent overall condition.  The car runs, drives, and looks very good.  The body is straight and virtually rust free.  All original body panels with nice floors, trunk, frame, rockers, spare tire well etc.  This is NO Bondo buggy and the nice body is one of the main reasons I bought it.  It has had only one repaint and is still it's orginal color.  Paint is older (@ 1980) but still shows/shines very nice with some here and there touched up chips etc.  Interior is stock and is nice and clean.  To my knowledge, everything on the car works- including lights, turn signals, gauges, wipers, horn, radio, and heater (not sure about the clock).  I added a set of (4) new seatbelts with the old style chrome airplane latches.  The drivetrain is original to the car and in good working order.  The motor is the factory 235 c.i. 6 cyl and the transmission is the original 3 speed manual.  It runs and drives excellent.  It will get in the mid to upper teens for gas mileage and I drive it quite regularly, probably 3 or 4 times a wk.  It always starts right up, runs cool, holds good oil pressure etc.  It is dependable enough to be your daily driver if you want.  Like I said, I drive it alot and am not afraid to go anywhere in it.  Brakes and full exhaust have been re-done not too long ago.  All glass is in good shape with no cracks.  The windows roll up and down normally and it has a factory Fulton visor.  I added a few teeth to the grill, including a gold one.  It is sublte and I love the look but it/they are easily removed if not to the new owner's taste.  Tires are wide white wall bias plys with probably 80%+ tread left.  I bought the car with plans to cut it up into a custom but have decided against the project.  I planned to have the top chopped, suspension drastically lowered via modified Mustang II, and to swap the original drivetrain to a tri-power 348 w/ auto transmission.  I have been driving the car stock for the last year or so and realized that this one is just too nice to take all apart and cut up.  It is too cool like it is.  I usually have hot rods that are so drastic they are nearly undriveable, but this one has been fun being able to use it as a normal car.  It seats 4 comfortably, doesn't bottom out or scrape therefore you can go anywhere, has a big trunk, doesn't guzzle gas, is dependable and just fun to drive.  I am selling to buy a 50-52 Cadillac coupe and basically cut it up...   I can answer most any question you have on the car so please don't be shy.  The car comes with a clear Ky title in my name with current insurance and registration.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
