Up for auction is my 1953 chevrolet sedan 2 door bel air. The car runs great, shifts good, and stops like it is supposed to. The rear of the frame has been c notched with a Gambino kustoms C notch kit and has air ride in the rear with a monoleaf and will lay frame with the stops pulled out. The car is a project/work in progress and is by no means perfect but it is fun to drive and gets alot of looks. The front suspension is stock other than having the springs shortened. The winsheild and back glass are in decent shape with no sugnificant clouding issues but the door glasses are cracked. The interior is not complete, the front and rear seats are in the car but it needs a headliner and door panels. The seats need to be recovered as well if you're looking for a total restoration, I'm rocking some mexican blankets. The car was painted before I purchased it with a flat white body and a heavy metallic blue roof. I have found no rust signs in the exterior of the car but did not see it before it was painted so I can't be positive. There is rust in the bottom of the doors (not on the outer skin) that needs to be patched if you're not going for the rat look. You can't see it unless the doors are open with the door panels removed. I have driven the car several times but the shocks need to be mounted on the rear end and a couple bugs need to be worked out to be 100% road worthy. I also have a NO LIMITS ENGINEERING mustang II front end that I purchased for the car with rack and pinion steering and tubular control arms with air ride that I would sell for an additional 1,500 after the purchase of the car, the kit sells new for 2,300. I will be adding more pics tomorrow.
I added more pics of the interior, engine compartment, and trunk. I also took a picture of the new carb that goes with the car. I tried to take picsof the floor boards and trunk pan but the carpet and insulation is glued down and i didn't want to tear it. I can see that the front pans have been patched and the trunk pan looks solid from what I can see. The spare tire recess has been cut out and welded up so that it doesn't hang down anymore. Again, ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability and remember this is not a show car by any means. It is a good project for someone who wants a rider to tinker with along the way.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon
Sat, Jun 20 2015MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
Nissan Leaf sales get January jump as Chevy Volt trends downward
Mon, Feb 3 2014The cold January sales dip hit both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt last month, but when compared 2014 to 2013's first-month-of-the-year sales totals, one of the two early plug-in vehicles obviously came out on top. The top Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months. Last year, the Leaf sold just 650 units in January, but it managed to move 1,252 last month, a 92.6-percent increase over 2013 but a big drop from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. Paige Presley over at Nissan told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf has now broken sales records for 11 months straight and that, "we see unique seasonality with some December pull-ahead demand based on federal and state tax incentives." The number one Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months, moving back to San Francisco. That change could be short-lived. "We had some inventory constraint issues early in the month in Atlanta with end-of-year demand depleting stock," Presley said. "By the time we resolved that, the weather hampered sales." There was not as much good news on the Chevrolet front. Last month, the Volt sold 918 units, down from 1,140 in January 2013 and 2,392 in December 2013. It also marks the first time the Volt has sold in the three-digit range since January 2012, when it sold 603 copies. That string of solid months means that the plug-in hybrid has a roughly 12,000-unit lead over the EV since the two cars brought plug-in vehicles back to the mass market all the way back in December 2010. We will have our full report of January's green car sales up soon.
