1957 Chevy Belair Wagon

Heres a chance to buy a nice original Tri 5 Wagon thats been off the road
here in AZ for many many years, just aching to be someones next project !
Sure its not a Nomad, but thats great because its more affordable AND
easier to get the family In and Out of the car on cruze nights with 2 extra doors !
1957 is still the best looking yr wagon GM built , until 59 :)
THIS ONE  with NO RESERVE 

OBVIOUSLY THIS CAR NEEDS A FULL RESTORATION FRONT TO REAR
BUT I WILL TRY TO DETAIL OUT SOME INFO THAT CANT BE SEEN IN 
THE PICS BELOW.

This car was owned by Copper Electric out of Bisbee AZ for as long as we
can track it prior to us acquiring it a few weeks ago. Seeing the cars past
has been in AZ probably its whole life, it is a low rust vehicle compared to
most its age, but no one ever removed the plastic floormats over the yrs
so the lower parts of the floorboards did get rust from the inside out mostly.
It has some rust in a few other areas, but its still far much cleaner then most
out there. The OTHER thing is the car appears to still be wearing whats left
of its original paint on all the original sheetmetal. Looking all over the car I
didnt see any signs of previous repairs or overspray or repaint.
For alot of restorers and builders who know what they want, thats a big 
thing for them.
LUCKILY Im pretty sure just about every part needed for this car is now available
making restoration easier by just having to pick up the phone and order what
you need.
IF you look closely though, you will see there are alot of loose parts that are
not shown ON the car but look to be INSIDE in various areas.
SORRY for not prepping this car and at least trying to clean it out as much as
possible prior to listing it, but under the circumstances this week I didnt have
the time or facility to do so this week. Im going to try to clean it out by the
weekend and itemize whats there and toss all the trash out if I can and update
the pics by Monday nite. (so keep checking back for updates..)
As for glass on this car, I think the only 2 PIECES NOT broke are 1 of the vent wing
windows and the very back. Side Doors all open and close fine and dash looks
to be uncut around the radio.


OUR 100% feedback speaks for itself 
and many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this past
year here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it much
easier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence.
NOT MANY OF THESE CARS WHERE MADE BACK IN THE DAY and we all know
NOT MANY ARE EVEN LEFT ON THE ROAD ANYMORE.


DRIVETRAIN: no motor or trans BUT at least this car was originally
A V8 car with what I think may of been a 3 on the Tree. Build it 
anyway you want, and if you do it right youll never lose a dime on 
it when it comes to reselling it.  REAREND looks to be original.
Car rolls and steers making shipping a little easier. 3 tires hold air
for a bit, 1 tire is beat. I can try to get it so all 4 tires hold air
long enough for shipping still on the stock rims.


INTERIOR: obviously needs a total restoration, but looks complete
and all the main stuff there. Seats, dash, glove box etc.
Some misc small stuff like handles are missing. Spare tire well
is very dry and rust free too.

EXTERIOR: body for the most part, really straight, but there
is a dent by the LR 1/4, mild rust on the rockers. Hood is not
currently bolted down. Some side trim is missing, but there 
are some loose pieces in the car. Front bumper and grill are
missing.

SUSPENSION: basically all stock and original and probably
very worn out and ready for a nice Resto Mod restoration.
Rear shocks almost look to be original haha.

This car is not your typical 90% rust free Arizona car but it is
a car that needs some rust repair and still better then one sitting
near the coast or in the rust belt.

These cars rarely even come up for sale in this condition, which is
affordable to almost anyone wanting a project wagon.
Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant. Via has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year at its Mexico facility. Via Motors Chairman (and former GM Vice Chairman during the early days of the Chevrolet Volt project) Bob Lutz wants to help make EVs mainstream in America, and believes that requires electrifying pickups and SUVs. Read more in the press release below.
