1955 Bel Air Convertible - Rare Continental Kit With Skirts - This Bel Air Convertible has been in a barn for many years. Has it's 265 2 barrel V8 with a manual 3 speed on the column. The Bel Air will start up and run and it moves and the brakes work too, but you will need to go through it from sitting. 

The Bel Air is Two Tone Red and White, it has very old paint and looks to be in fair shape, it still has the dirt on the Bel Air from sitting in the barn, never cleaned it but I think if you give it a good wash, buff and wax job it wouldn't look to bad. The body looks fairly straight, has some chips and scratches and some small bubbles and like I said old paint.

The Bel Air X frame doesn't look to bad, it is scally in places on the frame and some of the frame supports may need to be replaced or fixed. Some of the floors are scally and rusty with holes, it looks like many years ago they did do some patch work on some of the floors. To make the Bel Air right, you will need to replace some of the floors or patch them and some of the frame braces and supports too, or you can still drive it the way it is now, your choice. Inside the trunk the floor doesn't look to bad. You can see all this in the detailed pictures.

The Bel Air interior is Two Tone Red and White and is in pretty fair shape for it's age, still has the original radio and clock and the rest of the interior looks pretty original. If you cleaned it up it would look pretty good for a old age interior. The White Top doesn't look to bad, it just needs a good cleaning, I have the Red Convertible boot that comes with the car too. It does have a power top and the power top motor works but I never tried to put the top down.

The chrome and stainless is in pretty fair shape, the front bumper will need to be Rechromed because the chrome is peeling off.

This old 1955 Bel Air Convertible Barn Find is Pretty complete and it runs and has the very Rare Continental Kit With Skirts. Extremely popular collectible to fix up.

I have a clean Title in Hand.

I described this Bel Air Convertible to the best of my Knowledge.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
