Vehicle came out of upstate NY. Previous owner has had this car since 1965 within the same family. Started life out as a RARE 150 model as you can tell by the "A" in the VIN number, and has since been transformed into a Bel Air tribute with added trim. This was an old family car that has recently been restored throughout and made into a beautiful restomod as you can see in the pictures and video. Restoration was body-on and was done within the last few years, including complete paint/bodywork in base/clear 2 stage PPG type paint, NEW interior (seat covers, carpet, headliner, door panels, etc.), NEW exhaust/mufflers, NEW weatherstripping throughout, NEW wheels/tires, NEWLY rebuilt motor, NEWLY rebuilt transmission, NEWLY overhauled brake system, NEWLY flushed fuel system. LOTS of NEW trim throughout. All NEW smoked glass throughout. TONS MORE.
Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. Body does NOT appear to ever have been in any major collision.
OPTIONS:
Manual steering
Power DISC front brakes
Dual exhaust
350ci 4bbl. POWER PACK V8 motor
Manual 4 speed transmission
Bench seat interior
10 bolt rear end with 3.55 gears
2" drop spindles
Mildly custom "smoked" glass (ALL NEW)
Under the hood lies a mildly massaged 350ci motor (bored 0.030 over to 355ci) with a few bolt-on performance goodies such as aluminum intake manifold, Edelbrock 4bbl. carburetor, full headers into dual exhaust, mild performance camshaft and a few other internal mods, along with 2" drop spindles to give it a more restomodded stance. Overall it's a nice and healthy motor that fires right up, has good oil pressure and sounds great. Had it completely checked out by my mechanic and is ready to drive (I've been using it twice a month for short trips around town). Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts great without any noises or grinding.
Interior is basically all stock and NEARLY BRAND NEW. Door panels are NEW. Dash is very nice and painted. Seats have BRAND NEW covers on them. Carpet is NEW as well. NEW headliner as well. Stock steering wheel in fair shape. Overall nicely presentable for a high end driver.
Underside has a ROCK SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust anywhere. Floorboards are excellent with NO holes anywhere that I was able to see. Even the side frame braces, that usually rust out on these cars are in EXCELLENT shape. VERY NICE trunk pan as well.
As you can see the front and rear chrome has been painted to give the vehicle a mildly custom appearance, which can be turned easily back to stock with chrome parts if new owner desires.
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT shape throughout, with NICE shine and looks great but it is not absolutely show quality, so please keep in mind that it will have some very minor imperfections here and there. Panel fit is very good, but again not absolutely perfect to be a show winner and could use tiny adjustments here and there. Not working: clock, radio, perhaps a dash gauge not connected, and a bulb or two may need replacing here and there. Transmission shifts great, but new rubber shifter boot sometimes makes it pop out of 1st gear since the rubber is so tight. Brakes are NEW so they are a little sensitive. I am sure there are many other things the car needs.
So overall she is not perfect but she's a DAMN NICE and FUN RESTOMOD CRUISER!. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a GREAT LOOKING DRIVER to play around with, then this is the car for you. If you want a 100 point concourse show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
