1958 Chevrolet Bel Air

Sport Coupe (2-door hardtop)

This is a nice Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop.  It is powered by a Chevy 350 cu. in. V-8 with an Edelbrock four barrel carburetor and intake manifold.  The transmission is a stock 3 speed manual with column shift; the clutch is good and tight.

The interior is custom brown naugahyde with tan herringbone cloth inserts and the original upholstery trim.  It rides on BF Goodrich TA radials and Cragar wheels.  It is a GREAT driver!  I've drive it from Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula all the way to Sacramento, California without a bit of trouble, and it was a smooth ride.

I bought this car about eight years ago on eBay - sight unseen.  It was a littler rougher than it looked in the pictures.  Since then, I've done and had a lot of work done over the years to make it as nice as it is now.  Here is a list:

  • The floor pans and trunk had some rust, which I ground down, painted with POR 13 and patched with fiberglasss.  It was not so bad that I considered it necessary to remove and replace with patch panels.
  • I've had some mechanical improvements done including replacing the cam and lifters, replacing both front and rear coil springs, installed rear air-shocks, replaced the gas tank, installed a new electric fuel pump, installed a new heater core and had the heater control valve  rebuilt, and had a new exhaust system with glass pack mufflers installed.  I also installed a new under dash wiring loom and fuse box.
  • With the exception of the upholstery, I have completely gone through the interior including having the dash and interior trim repainted to match the Bronze paint color, replaced all window and door handles, installed new dash trim/bezels/glove box/door threshold, replaced the firewall pad and kick panels, installed a new carpet kit and sound insulation over the floorboards, replaced the trunk mat and panels, and installed a new made to fit AM/FM radio with a split front stereo speaker in the dash which is set up for iPod on the auziliary band.
  • I replaced the wind wing and side door glass and frames, and replaced the rubber windshield and rear window seals.

I've seen two other '58 Chevy Sport Coupes for sale in the last year or so that look just like my car including paint color, tires, and rims; they're both frame-off restorations and the owners were seeking $50,000+/-.  I also saw one recently that is a project car and the owner has a "buy it now" price of $13,850.  My car is very well "buy it now" priced at $16,500.  It is not a high-dollar show car for the following reasons:

  • The exterior paint job looks great from 10+ feet away, but whoever painted it didn't put enough time and energy preparing the car for painting.  The panels are not laser straight and some sanding swirls are noticeable on the trunk lid around the lock.
  • Some of the stainless trim is dented.
  • I failed to replace the front windshield when I had the rubber replaced, and some hazing is noticable around the edges.  Also, I have not been able to find new rear quarter window glass with frames; the frames are pitted.
  • I bought and improved the car to be a good looking "driver".

So, you are bidding on a reasonably priced, good looking, and reliable 1958 Chevy Sport Coupe.  I've had a lot of fun with it, but I have a couple of other toy cars and I'm too busy as a self-employed person to drive all three of them.

If you have questions, I can be reached at (360) 504-2440.  If you have the time and interest, come see the car in Sequim, Washington. Once the auction has ended, the down payment of $1,000 is due through PayPal within 48 hours.  The balance must be received in verified funds, cash or wire transfer, within 7 days and prior to my releasing the vehicle.   The successful bidder can fly into Seattle, Washington and drive this car home!  Shipping is an alternative; I am not offering shipping on this vehicle.  However, I will work with the winning bidder's shipper.  My zip code is 98382 if you want to obtain shipping quotes.

Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
