1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 Door Sedan - 76k Original Miles on 2040-cars
Madison, Alabama, United States
|
1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door sedan, 3 owner car, bought new
in Huntsville, AL, 76K original miles.
This car is still equipped with its original power pack 4 barrel engine,
power glide transmission, and AM radio.
This car has been in dry storage since 1983.
I got the car a few years ago. It needed some TLC, after having sat for a couple of decades. I pulled the engine and transmission out to replace rusty freeze plugs, cleaned out the water jackets, replace broken transmission mounts. I also installed an aftermarket aluminum radiator and rebuilt the brake system hydraulics. The carburetor had been rebuilt in its past, so engine just needed a tune up, and clean gas to start up, which I did. The engine purrs just like it should. The power glide leaks badly but works fine. Transmission needs to be resealed, it shifts just fine. Car has a new aluminum radiator, new battery, new brake
master cylinder, new gas tank, and new rear brake shoes (still in the box) that
come with the car. The car now has four black 15 x 6 steel wheels and tires with 1500 miles on them. See the picture of the black wheel with the Kumho tires; these are on all four corners now. Car has three small rust areas. Small holes in the driver's side floor board, a small section of the right rear trunk floor, and the trunk pan area. Front and rear bumpers are present, but stored in the attic. No significant rust or dents on the bumpers. Car was partially disassembled in preparation for paint, but never got painted. I believe all of the trim is with the car, but the mounting clips, etc. may be missing. This car needs a good home. I will not separate parts from the car. Serious inquiries only. Car can be driven onto a car trailer, etc but is NOT legal or safe to drive on the street as is. I did, however, drive it up to 50 mph last weekend. I have an Alabama registration in my name and buyer will get a notarized bill of sale. Alabama does not title cars this old. The registration and bill of sale is sufficient to get buyer a title in states that issue titles for 1956 vintage cars. This is a great father – son project, a weekend tinker project, or a full blown restoration project. You could continue the disassembly for a complete restoration, or spend a weekend putting the car back together and drive it as is. I am reluctantly selling this car for health reasons. I might be interested in a trade for US coins, US WWII vintage military decorations, or a small truck (like an S-10) of equal value. I do not want a project truck, I am getting rid of my projects. Let me know what you have; the worst that can happen is that I will say no.
Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. I will assist as needed. |

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
