-Rat Rod / Daily Driver
* Most important reason for selling* Need to sell quick to help pay for an overseas cancer treatment ($17,000) for my aunt with stage 4 breast cancer. Her appointment is August 7th. Only has a 1 month or 2 to live :(
On to the Bel Air:
Newly rebuilt Chevy 305, sounds good, short cherry bomb exhaust, 4 door, but the 2 rear doors are shaved smooth but they do open and close, has older flat black paint from previous owner. There is no on-going rust. All rust was stopped and repaired by him. The steel body had previous rust, but was replaced with fiberglass and bondo. (mostly where the backseat is, and a tiny bit round the bottom front doors and driver floor pan. The car has a new 700R transmission put it right before I bought it and rebuilt axles. The car has been lowered and has updated suspension. I put in a new gas tank, but when you top it off, it splashes out somewhere in the neck but doesn't leak. Front window is cracked, and one side window. No engine leaks NONE! No leaks in the driveway!, car runs great. Very reliable. I would drive it to another state! Its very solid! I work in the Gulf of Mexico in the oil and gas industry 8 months a year, so the car sits in the car port most of the time. Everytime I come home, it fires right up and I drive it to shows and cruise the beach. Tires are so so , you could go another year or two on the them. Lights, blinkers, turn signals, windows, door handles all work.
This car attracts attention and gets thumbs up where ever you go.
This car doesn't have any options except fog lights and oooga horn.
The temp gauge and tachometer gauge works, and the fuel gauge is kind of half off. but the other gauges do not work.
If you want to remember the old days and hop in and cruise, and maybe you would like a car that you can still drive while you work on it, then this car is for you.
I bought it the way you see it 2 years ago. I wanted something fun to drive and cruise in. My friends all have old cars like this.
I'm trying to tell you everything now, because I will be at work, and my father will have to take care of the sale for me while I'm out here in the Gulf.
No reserve, I have a few people interested in the car now, but some haven't come to view it. I have the right to end the auction early due to a local sale.
Shipping: I would help get the car shipped on your dime. The car is drivable and I would trust it to get me anywhere in the state.
$500 Non-Refundable deposit due 24 hours after aucton ending. The remainder must be paid in full before 7 days, or before or day you pick up the car. I do except cash, paypal (after it clears into bank). The title will be given to you after the money clears.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
GM’s Charlie Wilson was right: Stronger regulations can help U.S. automakers
Fri, Oct 26 2018Charlie Wilson had been the president and CEO of General Motors before being nominated to become secretary of defense by Dwight Eisenhower. During his Senate confirmation hearings, he controversially said, "For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa." And he was right. While car companies aren't necessarily the most progressive when it comes to things that might have the slightest possibility of political blowback, General Motors should be credited for doing something absolutely forthright in this regard with its announcement that it wants the federal U.S. government not to squash the California Air Resources Board's emissions requirements but to actually create a 50-state "National Zero Emissions Vehicle" program that, in the words of Mark Reuss, executive vice president and president, Global Product Group and Cadillac, "will drive the scale and infrastructure investments needed to allow the U.S. to lead the way to a zero emission future." Filing comments to the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks is one thing. But a graphic the company developed for this announcement — shown above — is something else entirely, something that is absolutely credible, creative and clever. There is a photo of a Chevrolet Bolt EV driving along a highway, which seems to be in Marin County (based on the blurred San Francisco skyline in the background). Text on the photo states: "It's Time for American Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles." It seems to say, in effect, "If we want to make America great again, then we're going to do it by leading in technology, not by retreating behind weakened regulations." General Motors understands that the auto market is globally competitive, and if U.S.-based companies are going to be in the game, then they'd better be able to out-innovate the companies based elsewhere, where emissions and economy standards are not being weakened. What's good for our country ... Related Video:
Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX
Mon, Feb 2 2015Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.
