1953 Chevrolet BelAir 2 door sedan roller. garage find
Are you tired of working on a project with rusty floors, trunk floor, floor braces, rockers, doors etc. then this is the car for you.
This body is as close to rust free as a 60 year old car gets.
The car has been garaged most of it's life.
Original seat covers still in decent shape.
This car is a steal, hard to find this good of a starting point for my low reserve.
Unfortunately an eye injury will delay the build indefinitely, so I have decided to sell.
This was a well optioned car - Powerglide, power steering, tinted glass, deluxe heater, radio, clock, fender skirts, etc.
It's new life could be that of a well optioned updated car.
I had planned a 350 with automatic overdrive, TCI front and rear suspension, power steering, Vintage Air, cruise and tilt.
The original drivetrain and steering gear have been removed and sold since I was going to build a modified car.
Unfortunately an eye injury will delay the build indefinitely, so I have decided to sell.
The previous owner had started disassembly about 20 yrs ago and primed some of the body (only to preserve it).
New weatherstripping including windshield and backglass rubber, door rubber, trunk rubber, fender antisqueak rubber.
Also included are new window felts, window channel (flexible and rigid) and side glass channel setting rubber.
A complete triple-plated chrome rear bumper and bumper guards is included.
A new wiring harness is included.
The grill and right front fender were damaged many years ago, The new owner can choose to repair or replace these.
The windshield and back glass and the beltline stainless trim is included.
It appears that most of the BelAir stainless around the side windows is included.
Basically there is none of the BelAir side stainless trim.
I was going to weld up these holes for the smooth look.
For a better idea of the stainless included please see the pics.
The front and back glass garnish moldings are inclded.
The front and back glass are included.
All side glass mechanisms work.
Original instruments, condition unknown, are included
The Pontiac Rally wheels on the car are not included but are available at extra cost.
The original wheels will be installed which are good enough only to load the car on a trailer.
The original front suspension has been left for rolling around the shop until a Mustang II based front suspension or GM subframe is installed.
The original rear axle has been replaced with a proper width GM 10 bolt posi rear axle.
All loose items will fit inside the trunk and interior for shipping.
Please contact Steve at 205-422-8967 with questions.
My sale policy is simple, a $250 deposit is required within 24 hours.
If you don't want the car when you come to pick it up you only forfeit the small deposit to cover my advertising expense.
Many more pics are available if desired.

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt
Mon, Jan 13 2014At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012. We expect our readers have similar stories they'd like to share in the Comments.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
