56 Convertible 55 56 57 Pontiac- Belair on 2040-cars
Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, United States
|
You are viewing a 1956 Pontiac 2 door convertible. this car still retains all of it's original drive train including engine, transmission, and rear end. These Pontiac convertibles are like the 55-57 Belairs but are more rare. You will notice by the license plates that it has been parked since the 70's. Since then someone walked off with the convertible bows, and the stainless on the pinch well and windshield stainless but other then that it is complete. There are a set of bows there but is missing the front header bow and they will need rust restoration. I know a guy that might have most of the missing stainless for a reasonable price. I will line the buyer up with him but this is not included in the price of the car. The doors were taken off but are with the car and are definitely repairable as are most of the body panels other then the trunk pan and floor pans as they will need replacement. These cars can be used to convert a hard top car into a convertible but since this car is pretty complete that it deserves to be rebuilt. The engine still turns over and is not stuck and the frame is decent and useable. The interior is there but is missing the back seat but the hard to find front seat is still in car. Remember this car is 58 years old and requires a complete restoration. I am putting a extremely low buy it now so it will leave a person a lot of room to restore it to it's original luster. I require a 500 non refundable deposit by pay pal immediately and the balance within 7 days from end of auction. Ask all questions before buying it now and it is sold as is. Car is located in Midland Michigan.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
