I have beautifully looking, sounding, driving, and handling 1955 Chevy 210 Club Coupe with the Delray Trim Package. This car enjoyed a ground up restoration a little over 5 years ago and has only been driven to and from local car shows. This car has the best of both worlds with all original 1955 Chevy looks but state of the art, late model performance and comfort upgrades. No money was spared in this resto-mod and it rides down the road like my new Lexus. Newly registered, come and get it before an ebay bidder does.

I haven't seen many 55s cleaner than my 55. I would grade this 9.5 out of a 10 and 10 being show car ready. It needs interior windlace trim but I am ordering that now and will replace it. With this type of restoration there is too much to list and make sense of from a $45k restoration but here are the highlights. The new factory tinted glass, 4 wheel power disc brakes, power steering and tubular front suspension makes this car awesome to drive, it feels so good around turns, clovers, or winding roads.

I will sell it but would have preferred a trade for a 1932-1934 three or five window coupe and for this 55 to find a true 50s Delray lover.

Exterior:
- Beautiful Acrylic Urethane factory Neptune Green and white paint job. Body was shaved of all emblems, ornaments, and keyhole before blocked to perfection responsible for its wave free finish. All trim and drive train removed and replaced for painting, and the finish is a 9.9 out of 10.
- New B.F. Goodrich 215/65P-15R Wide Whitewall Tires on new Chrome Rims.
- All new factory tinted glass, windshields, and rubber seals.
- 1 piece bumpers added.

Electrical:

- The electrical system is perfect. A new wiring harness and fuse box was installed and integrated with the Chrome Plated Flaming River Tilt Steering Column and custom steering wheel. All lights work well inside and out, heater and fan controls work well and are smooth in operation.

- Car was converted to a 12V system with a High Output Chrome Alternator. The horn stopped working but I will investigate it. I was also told the Delray model was suppose to have a cigarette lighter but this does not and I have not investigated where it goes.

- Winshield wiper motor is new electric working great.



 Interior:
- Original factory Delray Trim interior that came with the car but is in great condition for its age. Driver's seat repaired but everything else is in good condition. New factory style carpet and floor mats.
- All interior trim painted or polished Sea Mist Green.
- Pioneer AM/FM, CD, Aux, USB, and Bluetooth Stereo with Cellular hands free
- Electric pop trunk button under dash
- Factory trunk mat, spare tire, and bumper jack.

Drive Train:
- Complete Power Steering conversion with new steering box, pitman arm, idler arm and center link.

- Complete 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes, minimum offset stock spindle wheel kit, rear brake kit for original rear end 8" booster assembly and pre-bent hard line kit. This drastically improves the ride, braking, steering and handling.

- Front Tubular Suspension, heat treated, CNC wound and factory tested front coil springs, performance graphite upper and lower control arm bushings, and bumpstops -- engineered to give superior performance, strut rod bushings, upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, tie rod adjusting sleeves, and idler arm. Sway bar bushings and end link. Flaming River Chrome Tilt Column.

- T5 5 Speed Transmission with Overdrive, new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. Third member was replaced with a fresh rebuilt 3.36:1 gear change to taller gears and the car cruises nicely at 80 to 85 down the highway.

- The underbody of this car remains in great drivers condition free of corrosion. The rear ends 3rd member was detail painted before installation, as well as the T5 Five Speed Transmission. All suspension components were power coated or baked enameled.

 This car is one of the best condition cars I've owned or restored. Money was not an issue when resto-modifying this 1955 but not its time for change. I was looking to trade this car for a resto-mod 1930s streetrod of the same or greater value of $30,000. Preferably a 1933 or 1934 Ford. Come drive this car and you'll be amazed at how great this restoration was completed. I can also take this to ANY mechanic you want to inspect this vehicle because I know you can drive this anywhere in the country without fear. Shipping is easy from San Diego area.

 Here is a YOU TUBE video of the car.

You can also contact me for additional pictures. I have more of the undercarriage so you can see how clean and detailed the work is under the car.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
