SELLING MY 56 CHEVY BEL AIR 4 DOOR SEDAN. DECENT LITTLE PROJECT THAT RAN AND DROVE INTO MY GARAGE 3 YEARS AGO WITH ITS FACTORY 6 CYL AND POWERGLIDE. THE BRAKES ARE UP AND WORKING, BUT SHOULD HAVE A QUICK RE-DO BEFORE SEEING ROAD USE.
CLEAR MARYLAND TITLE. SIGNED BUT NOT DATED BY THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM. WILL MAKE CHEAP CRUISE NIGHT CAR. NOT A CAR TO RESTORE, IN MY OPINION. IT WILL RUN WITH SOME FRESH GAS AND A BATTERY. NEEDS SHEETMETAL WORK WHERE NOBODY WILL SEE, FRONT FLOORS, ROCKERS, REAR DOGLEGS, AND TRUNK. BODY MOUNTS STILL LOOK GOOD. OUTER BODY PANELS ARE STRAIGHT ENOUGH FOR YOUR LOCAL CAR SHOW. BUT THE PASSENGER FRONT FENDER HAS QUITE A BIT OF BODY FILLER. ALL STAINLESS BEL-AIR MOULDINGS ARE PRESENT EXCEPT FOR 1 FENDER MOULDING. VIRTUALLY ALL THE OUTER CHROME GOES WITH IT ALSO, INCLUDING BUMPERS. INTERIOR CONSISTS OF A BLACK VINYL REAR SEAT AND FIBERGLASS RACE BUCKETS WITH BLACK VINYL COVERS IN THE FRONT.

IT HAS A COUPLE CRACKED SIDE WINDOWS. THE FRONT FRAME HORNS NEED A PULL FROM AN ACCIDENT IF YOU WANT TO RUN THE STOCK FRONT BUMPER. I WASN'T CONCERNED ABOUT IT AS I WAS GONNA CLIP IT AND PUT A STRAIGHT AXLE UNDER IT. I HAVE ONE FOR SALE AT EXTRA COST IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. ALSO INCLUDED IS A HUGE ROLL OF RED WINDOW TINT. NO WARRANTEE OR GUARANTEES (DUH) ON THIS 50+ YEAR OLD CAR. IT IS SOLD "AS-IS-WHERE-IS" NEEDING TOTAL RESTORATION TO BE TOTALLY FUNCTIONAL.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

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.
Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015
Tue, Jul 8 2014Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
