Year:1955 Mileage:24958
Location:

Henderson, Nevada, United States

Henderson, Nevada, United States

This is a very unique 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe hardtop. It is a great running 2 door hardtop, with everything original and in great condition. This car was produced in LA and is a west coast car with original patina and no rust anywhere. Not a single bubble, leak or rust hole underneath. The drive train is original as is the entire undercarriage, well maintained. The radio is not working, nor is the clock. The passenger door window has a crack and there is a small quarter sized dent in the deck lid. Other than that it is missing nothing. It is also the power option Sport Coupe with Power Steering and Power brakes. We are changing the carpet to correctly match the color scheme. We are also adding new weather-strip on both doors. The car has been fully inspected and the inspection report will go to the new owner. Nothing found mechanically to be repaired. It has just ad a tune up. As you van see from the pictures it is in very, very good shape. Check out the test drive video below.

Stock engine, and optional 2 speed trans. the 265, does have an edelbrock intake and steel braided heater lines. This car is not the 150 0r 210. It is a real Sport Coupe Hardtop with all the options. The heater works, the windshield wipers work, all of the gauges work as do the lights inside and out. it has been garage kept and maintained for many years. It is not a restored car but an original Bel Air. Dual exhaust and the paint was done about 10 years ago. It has a free and clear Nevada Title and will not last long.

Please ask questions, if you have them. It has a reserve, so please don't ask about the reserve unless you are serious and actively bidding. Terms are as follows...$500 non refundable deposit via pay pal at auction completion. The balance is due within 7 days of auction close, in cash, cashiers check, bank wire transfer o.k. Shipping is the responsibility of the new owner, but we can assist with that. The car must be picked up within 14 days of auction close, or reasonable storage can be arranged.

People ask all the time why is it being sold. This car has been enjoyed by a Bel Air lover for many years now. He is retired and wants to start traveling so it is time to let someone else enjoy it.

Good luck and thank you for looking.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
