This auction is for a 1957 Chevy 4 door Bel Air. It is a good running, fun to drive car that is priced to sell. We traded for this car 3 years ago and it has been sitting in our warehouse until I got challenged to get it on eBay this week.. I am a retired dealer friend of Jim [chargerman6970] and I love the oldies. I also list his vehicles here on eBay.. I sent this car to the shop and they rebuilt the carb and the starter. They also tuned it up and added a hand choke. It already had a new alternator and a new battery.. Now it starts right up the first crank with no smoke or noises.. It has a good clutch and the old school 4 speed transmission works great.. This car does have a new 3.5 gal Moon Eyes aluminum gas tank in the trunk.. There is no original tank and the very bottom of the trunk [floor] is rusty [see pic # 22].. The Moon tank is mounted on a metal plate..

There is also some rust in the passenger floor areas.. The frame is solid and all of the body mounts are in good shape.[see pic # 23]. The spring hangers are free of rust and the inner quarter panel areas inside the trunk are in excellent condition [see pics]. This car has a different steering wheel but does have the original spare and jack.. It has a rare "radio delete plate" in the dash.. This car has new radials mounted on Corvette rallys wheels.. The trim rings and center caps are included in the auction.[ in the trunk]. I just thought the car looked good without them.. It has new seat covers but the headliner is original. The lower half of the car was painted somewhat recently [maybe 5 years ago] but the upper half of the car has not. Note the patina on the trunk..

This car is by no means a show winner but a fun, solid ride to your local cruise ins. I drove it to our local ice cream shop today.. The steering and brakes are good on this car but the speedometer does not work.. The wipers work and there is no radio. All of the doors, the hood and trunk all open and shut solidly but some of the door glass has cracks. The engine in this car has a chrome valve cover and a chrome air breather.. Please study the pics and ask questions before you bid.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
