1953 Chevy 210

Sweet Ride!

Up for sale is my 1953 Chevy 210. In 1953 there was no "Bel Air" there was just the 150 and the 210, and this is the nicer of the two! The odometer reads 37, 988 but i'm not sure how acurate that is! This is perfect for someone who wants to restore a beautiful classic car or drive it as is and have a sweet rat rod! The paint is not great, whoever painted this thing just layed it on THICK! The biggest issue with the body is a good size dent in the passenger side quater panel as you can see in the pictures. I do have the chrome trim that goes over that quater panel. Another problem is the bottom of the drivers side quater panel as you can also see in the pics. The floor is in great shape as is the floor in the trunk. The car has the original 216 inline 6 cylinder and the original 3 speed (three on the tree) manual column shift. The engine purrs like a kitten and runs about as good as you could possibly expect it to! The transmission has just been gone through and shifts EXTREMELY smooth. Probably the smoothest shifting 3 on the tree you will ever find! The interior is in decent shape but does need a headliner and carpet. The dash is in decent shape and seems complete, I am not sure if the gauges work or not. All of the glass is in good shape except for one small crack in the rear drivers window. All of the windows go up and down nice and smooth. The car comes with all 4 original rims and all 4 original hubcaps. In the pics there is one odd rim, the 4th original rim is in the trunk. Unfortunately right now the car has NO BRAKES. I just rebuilt the master cylinder and it had brakes for awhile but then lost them. I'm sure with a good bleeding of the system they would work just fine. The biggest problem with the car is that the frame is rusting out on the rear passenger side where the leaf spring shackle is. It drives fine right now but in the future that will need to be adressed. None of the frame is great but that is BY FAR the worst spot and the biggest issue with the car. The last thing is the lights need to be wired in. In the pictures the car has no headlights, I do have two brand new in the package headlights that come with the car. I have no keys with the car but I do have a CLEAN Michigan title. I've seen BARN FINDS of these cars sell on eBay for over $2700 and i'm starting this running one under $2000 with NO RESERVE! I've described the car as honestly and accurately as I can, other than that just bid on what you see in the pictures! I really prefer not to do PayPal but if it is totally necessary you can message me and maybe we can work it out. If you have any questions or concerns at all feel free to message me and I will get back with you QUICKLY. Thanks for looking!

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes

Thu, Feb 5 2015

General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.
