You can drive it now and and finish the small stuff while you enjoy. No tire kickers, brokers or scammers please. With all do respect, if you're a car person and really want to purchase a '55 Chev, I will be happy to answer any questions. I will tell you everything that has been done. Reciepts say much more as usual and I realize my loss is the buyers gain. Two things that are not perfect are a slight fitment issue when hood is down and latched. There is a slight gap on passenger side seam, could be a fender adjustment or shim needed. The back seat cushion was trimmed slightly too much by the upholsterer to allow for wheel tubs. Wasn't noticed until assembly. Other than those 2 items, it's a great car to drive and enjoy. I've tried to represent this honestly and truthfully. I realize there is some small work and some expense to be done along with no fancy tires & wheels, I have taken these items into consideration in choosing my reserve price. I am located 30 minutes north of Mpls or 45 minutes NW of Hudson ,Wisconsin.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
