This is a really nice driver 55. It is an older restoration that was mostly done by the previous owner around 2003-6. I purchased it unfinished. Very nice solid body & frame. Looks like a low mileage southern california, arizona, western or southern car and one of the nicest rust-free cars I've seen. Everything has been stripped and painted. Solid original sheet metal. The paint overall is showing its age and is still pretty respectable, but it is not a show quality paint job. This car has a 1995 Camaro LT1 roller cam motor and a new TCI 700R4 transmission. I took the EFI off in favor of a holley carb set-up. Also upgraded to a GMPP LT4 hotcam, roller rockers and MSD ignition. I don't know exact mileage on motor but was told it was a low mile salvage motor when installed by previous owner. I had the motor out and can verify this. It looked virtually new inside. I have put less than 1200 miles on car. Runs nice and plenty of power. The interior is Ultra leather and is tastefully done including the trunk. This 55 has a uni-steer power rack and pinion set-up with front power disc brakes and dropped spindles. The car goes down the road straight and turns fine but the steering could use some adjustment to be A1. It has a '69 camaro non-posi rearend on leaf springs installed in stock location. I think the gears are 3.08's but not sure. The car sits right and drives nice. Wheels are Boyds junkyard dogs with BF Goodrich tires and they fit to near rubbing (perfect in my opinion). If you are looking for a very solid and nice driving 55 chevy you wont be afraid to take anywhere, then this is it. It's getting harder to find tri-fives in this kind of condition. Solid investment and always a favorite. I hate to see this one go. Please bid to win, and bid to buy.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
