You are looking at my 1956 Chevrolet Nomad that I started on a few years ago. Due to an accident and a loss of income I am forced to sell my car that I dearly love but wasn't able to finish. This is an all original built car, the way they built them back then. I have about a zillion dollars invested in my car, you guys that build them know what I mean. This will give someone a chance to get a good car at a good price. The car is about 90% complete in the project stage, really all it needs to be complete is the interior kit and installation, The glass put in it, which I have it all except the rear liftgate glass and the exterior stainless, which I have it all. I want to make a quick comment here on the exterior stainless. I had it all professionally restored, that alone was a $2500.00 project, and it looks beautiful. I have it all rapped up packed in a box so it won't get scratched. I have some of the chrome re-plated and some still needs done. I have the headliner bows done and some other pieces as well. As you can see the rear bumpers are on the car and I have the front bumpers ready to put on, they are done as well. Starting from the ground up, everything on the drive-train is new, brake lines, fuel lines, all the wheel seals, breaks, break drums, tie rods, coil springs gas tank, fuel pump, ect. The engine is the original 265 V-8 with the Powerglide transmission. I took the engine and had it COMPLETELY rebuilt, had the block bored. All new rings, bearings, rods, cam, the works and the heads were rebuilt as well. Basically everything under the hood is new. The engine has new a 4-Bar. carb with the original power steering. The transmission is the original 2 speed Powerglide. When I was in the engine/transmission stage of the project, I wanted to be sure the transmission was a good one so I put it in without doing anything to it. After this stage was complete I took it for a test drive and everything worked as it should,(shifted smooth). As many of you know these Powerglides has a history of leaking and mine is no different, so it needs taken out and new seals needs installed in it, other than that the transmission is fine.I have the front and back seats for the car, the back seat is in GREAT shape, the front seat is rebuild-able. The car has had all new wiring harnesses put in and everything works as it should right down to the clock.Basically everything was new when the car was put together. I can't even begin to list everything because I would surely leave something out. You may have noticed in the photos, the hood was not all the way down, the reason for this is the hood hinges I had on it had something wrong with them, they just didn't work properly so I bought new ones and put them on with new springs as well so it needs some adjustments made that was never done. In the rear cargo area is a border of stainless that goes around the floor area, I have some of these pieces but not all of them. They have not been restored. Once I had all of them I was going to have them restored as well but never got around to that part yet. The metal trim that goes around the top of the cargo area in the back has all been painted and ready to install once the interior has been installed. During the assembly of the car there are a couple places the paint chipped when tightening the of that particular piece, these are small places but they are there and there is a very, very small dent, about the size of a BB in the drivers door, too small to show up in a photo and I'm sure it can be fixed fairly easily if someone knew what they were doing. I am trying to mention every little detail so there will be no surprises if someone were to look at the car. I am sure I've left something out but I've described my car the best I could. If there are any questions about it, and I'm sure there will be, don't hesitate to ask. This will make someone a nice car once it's completed and it won't take too much to do that. Any shipping arrangements will be the responsibility of the buyer although I can assist. A $500.00 deposit is required within 24 hours of auction closing. I reserve the right to end this auction early due to the car is for sale locally. Thank you for looking!

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
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.
