1954 Chevrolet 210 Handyman Wagon on 2040-cars
Flowood, Mississippi, United States
|
I
just bought the car of my dreams from a seller in Colorado, a 1954 Chevy 210
Handyman wagon. My first car was a 54 Chevy and I have wanted to hot rod one
with a modern chassis and drive train ever since. I am now old enough and have
enough money to do it but it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out this
time; this car is near perfect for what I had planned but for personal reasons
based on occurrences this week I am unable to continue with the project. So, it
is now time to sell it and hope there will be a better time for the project in
the future. The
previous owner did not give a good, complete description, but I will try to
here. The body of this wagon is in excellent condition for a 60 year old car. I
have observed no rust, there is good fit for all the panels and doors and all
the chrome and stainless shows well. In all, this car was just what I wanted
for my purposes. The car has been repainted not too long ago in an original
Chevy color “saddle Brown” (color code #559) and the repaint was very good both
inside and out. All the interior; seats, doors and headliner, has been redone
in white Naugahyde. The front windshield is cracked and there is Plexiglas in
the driver side window. I have purchased a new windshield and gasket and driver
side window (see the packing slip picture) they are Included with the car in
this sale. There are single cracks in both rear passenger windows but the glass
appears to be original. Any additional replacement glass needed can be obtained
from Bob’s Classic Auto Glass in Eugene, OR. Also the horn ring with the HARD
TO FIND brown center emblem is missing; however, I did find one (see the
picture) and it will also be included with the car in this sale . The car comes
with a visor, skirts and dummy spot lights. The rear view mirror will need to
be replaced. The car has seat belts that I believe are recent additions. All
the mechanics, chassis and drive train are original and in good working
condition, the battery appears fairly new but I had to jump start it the first
time. After it warmed up the 235 ci in line 6 cylinder purred just like mine
did back in the 50’s and the 2 speed “power glide” transmission shifted
smoothly. The fuel gauge does not work. The brakes work and the tires are new.
Also new, according to the previous owner, are the front springs, rims,
hubcaps, brakes, battery, gas tank, filler neck, Petronix electronic ignition,
cap, rotor, wires, plugs and a recent valve train adjustment. Headlights,
taillights and turn signals all work. This
is a good car. The reserve price is a little less than I paid, happy bidding
and call me with any questions at (601) 932-1155, Tom. |

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
