Too many projects and one has to go... This 57 Chevy was originally Matador red with an Ivory top
 and at some point in it's life the body was painted black. It was the base BelAir with the standard 235
 six cylinder and standard three on the tree standard transmission. No other options except for the 
bumper guards, even still has the radio delete panel in place. Someone has started the rebuild and
 had new seat covers, headliner, and door panels installed, but the front door panels will require new 
cardboard as they did not use the correct material, covers are still usable, will have to be re-glued.  
The bottom of the car is as clean as the top with a flat black paint. This car runs and drives, but will need 
some minor additional work
Here is what I was planning on restoring: Repaint the entire car back to the original colors, replace
 driver's door hinge pin(already purchased), replace windshield (hairline crack-pass. side), driver's side
 front floor pan was replaced but not welded in correctly by the previous owner, replace front cardboard
 interior door panels, restore passenger side window slides, restore all seals, restore minor dents, scratches,
 very, very  small rust places on trunk area and rockers where molding was covering, replace rocker moldings.
 All trim and the doghouse was removed for painting and just replaced for the pictures and to sell, not all
 bolts are in nor is the doghouse wiring(pretty easy stuff) completed. Horns work thru a pushbutton on dash.
 Bumper bolts to re-attach, originals were burnt off. New Trim clips are included.
I'm pretty sure the car is  98% complete .
Here is what has been done already: Interior, engine and trans, brakes, Coker classics , gas tank,
 complete exhaust system, Many replacement parts from Eckler's over $100.  Almost all bolts and panels
 on doghouse (front fenders and hood have been cleaned and repainted.
 This will be a great project for someone to finish on a classic Chevy.
This Chevy has been very well taken care of and can be driven with just a few minor repairs. 
 Selling with No Reserve,  Bid to own, I have the clear title in my name and hand.
Car is located near Effingham, IL at zip 62443.  Delivery can be at $1.00 per loaded mile - reasonable distance.. 
I won't stop auction, so please bid to win. Any questions call Bill     217-  549  - 8 1 1 4

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker

Wed, May 22 2024

When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
