Original car with 80,818 actual miles. This car runs and drives excellent, and is in “show condition”. Starts immediately every time and is amazingly smooth running, extra clean, and has always been garaged. This car ranks at the top of any 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air cars available on the market today. Maintained in private collection to a high standard. This car is not only fun to look at but fun to drive. Every time I take it out it is a treat. Out of 1,574,740 Chevrolets made in 1956 only 128,382 Bel Air two door hardtop cars were produced. Vin# VC56L015878 Mechanical: The mechanics on this car are very well sorted and have been maintained to a high standard. 265 power pack four barrel engine, dual exhaust. Built Oct 1955 in the Van Nuys California Chevrolet plant and sold locally. The clock does not keep time, all the other gauges work perfect. The headlamps work as they should with no issue. This car has never been neglected. The car starts up on the first crank every time, even when it's been sitting for a week. Runs and shifts perfect, and buy looking the very clean engine bay and underside you can tell this original car has been well cared for. Body: The body panels are all straight with no waviness. The color is Sierra Gold / Dunes Ivory paint with one very nice professional re-paint, the photos show how nice the paint looks and I am use to concourse paint jobs and am very particular; the paint on this Chevrolet is very nice. All the plastic lenses on the car are in perfect shape. The front and rear bumpers are in great condition. You can see in the extended photos the rocker panels and side chrome are excellent and the door panels are like mirrors. The car comes with a California car cover. Glass is great with no chips. The windows work as they should. Good gaskets. The car is free of any rust or corrosion. The exterior is truly immaculate and the color and condition show the great lines of the car. Interior: The interior is in immaculate condition. I am a stickler for originality and this car is a time capsule for 1956. The AM radio works great, nice day/night mirror option. The headliner looks as it did when it came from the factory. The carpet is in new condition. The dash and interior panels are in perfect show car condition. I tried to show how nice the interior is in the photos but you would have to sit in the car to get the full experience. This cars interior is really special and makes driving the car a pleasure.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
