1954 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Sedan 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars

Year:1954 Mileage:40641 Color: Solid South Carolina car brought to Indiana about
Location:

Bristol, Indiana, United States

Bristol, Indiana, United States

1954 Chevrolet BelAir 235 CU. 6 CYL Automatic - Power Glide - 2 Door    Original color with one re-paaint - Peblo Tan and Indian Ivory

40,145 miles on old speedometer - 496 miles on new speedometer.  I came across NOS speedometer, complete in box and since the old speedometer worked but was noisy, I changed the speedometer. Both speedometers come with car, as seen in pictures.

INTERIOR: Beautiful headliner, new rope, and tack strip professionally installed. The dashboard and steering column were professional painted the original color. Beautiful job.  New carpet and padding.  Seats: The top of backseat was sun burnt so I tried putting NOS seat covers on, as you can see in the pictures, but the bottom of backseat did not fit so that's when I quit. Probably should just get new covers and start over.

EXTERIOR: Solid South Carolina car brought to Indiana about 8 years ago.  Always parked inside and not driven in any kind of winter weather. I can see a small amount of body work between trunk lid and bumper pan. Shown in pictures. Rest of the car is solid including floor pans and all panels. Driver's side window works but does not work smoothly. Fogging on both wing vent windows. Other things: If car sets for a few weeks and you do not drive regularly the transmission pan gasket leaks but if driven regularly it does not leak at all.

I was told that it had a re-built motor installed in about 1996 but I do not have receipt for it. I do have receipt for re-built transmission installed 2/14/1996. I have a whole package of receipts for other things done to the car including when it was converted to 12 volt. This will come with the car. New front shocks were installed last year also new water pump.  A new battery approximately 2 years ago.  GAUGES: Gas gauge does not work - all other gauges work.  Has good replacement radio with cassette with Chevy emblem but it is hooked to old original speaker and does not sound too good. I have original radio if wanted. The horn stuck on so I had to disconnect wires at the horns. Also, took horn ring out under the cap on steering wheel, it is in the glove box.

All and all the car runs and drives and still has plenty of pep. It will turn heads wherever you drive it! We have sold our home and moving to a new place with less garage space.

For more information call 574-361-5673 as I'm sure there are things I have missed in the ad. Please DO NOT leave voice mail as I will not receive it.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
