1954 Bel Air 210
This is a 1954 Bel Air 210 with a 235 6 cyl and a Powerglide Automatic transmission. This old coupe has been well taken care of and is a cool looking old cruiser. This car fires right up every time and hums like a sewing machine. It runs and drives beautifully. It has been converted to 12 volts. It has a new gas tank, new tires, and new headlight bucket assemblies with wiring harness. The car has been lowered 4" in the front by cutting the springs and 3" in the rear with lowering blocks.
The car was painted recently painted with a two tone powder blue and white paint job with lace panels sprayed on the roof to give it that old school hot rod look that both old timers and new car enthusiast can appreciate. The front portions of the rear quarter panels have been replaced. (the round humps where the gravel guards are). The chrome trim all around the car is in good condition except the rocker panel strips and the tail light bezels.Those can each be replaced for about $80. The gravel guards look good, but they have some scratches and dings (probably from doing their job). I spent a lot of time finding the right clips for the trim all over the car. The only clips I couldn't find were for the trim piece above the rear quarter window. Right now they are being held by trim tape. Its working well, but I want the new buyer to be aware of this. The front and rear emblems have been shaved. The chrome strip that goes down the center of the hood is brand new and gives the whole front of the car a smoother look. The rear quarters behind the rear tires have some body filler in them, but they weren't bad enough to warrant being replaced with a patch panel. You'd be hard pressed to find a 60 year old car now a days without any body filler for under $20k. This is a reasonably priced awesome old car that anyone could enjoy.
The interior is in GREAT shape. It has been reupholstered within the last 5-10 years. It has black carpeting and a dark navy blue seats and door panels. The trunk is overall solid with small pin holes and a nickel sized hole in the spare tire well. The whole trunk has been sprayed with a truck bed liner coating.
The wheels are the original steelies painted black with bullet lug nuts and new ribbed trim rings. One wheel stud on the rear axle needs to be replaced. The car comes with 2 new wheel cylinders, 3 new front brake lines and a new wheel bearing in case you need them in the future. Also included are a set of fender skirts painted to match the car. I didn't put them on because I don't have the clips needed to attach them.
The driver's door window has a small crack in the corner near the door lock, the passenger rear quarter window was shot with a BB gun and the passenger wing window has a small crack in it as well. The rest of the glass is in great shape to include the windshield and the rear window. The cracked glass does not impede any function or viewing. They're all flat pieces and can be easily replaced. The windshield wiper motor is still the original vacuum unit and it might work, but I don't know anything about them. I planned on picking up an electric one for a hundred bucks and being done with it.
The original tire jack and spare tire also come with the car. I have tried to be as honest as possible listing the good with the bad, but I know I am missing something. As I think of things I will add them as the auction goes on. With that being said please feel free to ask any and all questions. I will do my best to answer them as quickly as possible. Also if there are any specific pictures you would like to see just ask and I will get them out to you ASAP. I do have a clean and clear NC title for this car.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break
Sat, Jun 19 2021General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.  Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
