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.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
