You are looking at an incredible 1956 Chevy Bel Air 2 door sedan. This car has it's original 265 V8 engine and a 3 speed manual transmission with shift on the column. The engine is numbers matching, and I have the original paperwork to prove it. This car has not been restored! It is in amazing original condition! She is Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige, and these are the original colors. I was lucky enough to find the car in Franklin Square, NY last year. I had the car appraised by a specialist, and he was amazed by the condition of the car. He believes it to be all original, except he said that the front fenders look like they have been re-sprayed many years ago. I have a full documented report from the appraiser, and I will give it to the new owner. The car has all of it's original equipment, and everything works, except for the clock in the dash. Even the AM tube radio works! It has the dealer installed window washer squirters, the remote spot light, and the optional rubber floor mats. The seats and armrests are showing some wear, please see the pics. This car runs and drives extremely well. I do drive it and enjoy it. The motor starts right up, and runs super smooth. The clutch feels perfect, and the transmissin shifts great. The 4 wheel drum brakes work well, considering they are manual drums!
The car has been extremely well kept over the years. The 2 previous owners had the car in climate controled garages. The car was undercoated, and I believe that helped the car stay so nice. All body panels look to be 100% original. The floor pans and inner and outer rockers look great, with zero rust. The body mounts look great too. Even the bottoms of the doors have no rust, it is just amazing how clean this car still is. The paint is still nice, some of the gold is thin in spots, but it has the right to be, it is 57 years old. The stainless trim is in amazing shape, and looks great. The chrome is nice, but is a little dull in spots. The doors open and close perfectly, with zero effort. All of the windows roll down properly also. The exhaust system was replaced recently, as well as the front engine mounts, and the idler arm. It also has a modern battery in it. The 265 V8 has a 2 barrel carb, and single exhaust.
I bought this car with every intension of making it into a pro-touring resto mod with an LS-1, a 6-speed, big wheels, and 4 wheel disc brakes. I now realize that this car is way too nice and too important to ever modify it. It really is special. The appraiser yelled at me, and told me that the car is a time capsule, and should be stored in a climate controled bubble, and not driven. I am not willing to do that, so I am looking to move on, but I want the car to go to a good home. I do know that the current trend in the collector car hobby is about un-restored survivor cars, so I am sure someone will really apreciate this old girl. Please look at the pics. This car is not perfect, it is NOT restored, it is 57 years old, and in amazing shape for it's age. I feel that you should come and stand in front of the car, before you make any opinions about it. I will be happy to show anyone the car, if you are a serious buyer.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
