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. |

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
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.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
