Hey Everyone!
Looking to sell this great 56 Handyman. Recently pulled the car from storage and I've been working towards having it on the road for my own pleasure. I've come to a place where I have absolutely no time to continue working on it. If your looking for a classic car to have as a daily driver, this is the car for you. It's far from show quality, but it's a solid 20-footer. As it sits right now, it turns over, fires, and runs. The transmission was serviced before the car went into storage around 5 years ago and the rear axle is a late 80's GM 10bolt with a 3.73:1 gearset. There is a vacuum leak and as a result the car dies off below 1400 rpm. It has an MSD control box, coil, and distributor (vacuum advance), and all are brand new as of April 2013 as well as the water pump. It's pulling fuel through a Holley 600cfm carb with vacuum secondary and electric choke, rebuilt in April 2013. The car has an electric fuel pump in place of the mechanical and I've installed an OEM style fuel tank as the previous one needed replacing. The tank, sending unit, and mounting hardware are all brand new as of April 2013. The car is fitted with a 4-wheel power disc brake conversion kit from Classic Performance Products (CPP), and 2 inch drop spindles up front. The rear brake lines still need to be plumbed from the proportioning valve to the calipers; I have the remaining parts in storage to be included in sale. The rear lugs need adjustment; the company that installed them did a sorry job and there are some lug nuts that will not go on. There is an 18-circuit Painless wiring harness, unfortunately after a few years in storage there seems to be a draw on the system which I do not have the time to troubleshoot. The motor needs a tune-up; it burns some oil. The original gauge cluster was broken beyond repair, I've installed a set of Autometer gauges of the following types: MPH, RPM, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Fuel, and Battery. The turn indicator switch needs to be replaced in order for the blinkers to be serviceable. The car is fitted with 2 bucket seats in the front and there is no back seat. The headliner is in perfect shape and the interior walls are upholstered with a simple gray tuck-n-roll. Tires are in good shape. All of the window mechanisms work, although not perfectly. The rear bumper had been removed before I purchased it and a rollpan was installed in its place. Car is missing trim bar spanning the forward edge of the hood.
Mileage is unknown.
All in all this is a great car that just needs a little attention in just the right places to be the perfect cruiser:
Chevy 350
TH350 Transmission
GM 10bolt axle with 3.73 gears
New water pump
New MSD ignition
New plugs and plug wires
Rebuilt Holley Carburetor
Sanderson Headers, shorties
Dual, side exhaust (Flowmaster 40 series)
Transmission cooler
Aluminum radiator
4-wheel, power disc brakes
2-inch drop spindles
Painless wiring harness
Autometer gauges
Car is being sold as is. I will not ship, you must arrange pickup.
Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to sending this car off to a great new home.

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
