1961 Chevrolet Bel Air Bubbletop 4 Speed V8 Impala/bel Air 2 Door Bucket Seats!! on 2040-cars
Lubbock, Texas, United States
This 1961 Chevrolet Bel-Air Bubbletop is the first year of the Fifth Generation Chevrolet Bel Air body style. Everything about his car evokes pure Americana! Finished in black exterior with black bucket seats and a 4 speed. Offering you the options you want at an affordable price. A majority of bubbletops out there have commanded price tags in the $30,000-$60,000 dollar range and have reached the stratosphere in pricing. It is rare to find an example that is affordable and completely drivable. What sets this car apart is its drivability, options and color combination. Making this Bubbletop a solid investment as a car you can enjoy and watch it appreciate in value as the years continue. This 61 Bubble top has been well cared for and slightly upgraded over the years to house a WK code 1969 350 small block with solid lifters and shifted by 4 Speed transmission. It is obvious that over the years a lot of time and effort went into the build of this car, keeping with the Bel Air theme but upgrading it with things like Impala bucket seats out of a 1964. Ultimately, making this original grandma car a heart stopping Bel Air as any Hot Rodder would have liked back in the day. To note this Bubbletop has great sounding rumble and is extremely fun to drive! The 61 Chevrolet Bel Airs were a totally new body for GM not just new sheetmetal although the wheelbase stayed the same at 119in but its length was reduced slightly from previous years. The Bel air 2 door “bubble top” design has been the highlight for collectors with minimal production numbers compared to other GM makes and models with only 8,671 6cy and 9686 V8’s made. Although, not a fresh restoration this 61 Bel Air has a very sharp flare to her. No need to do any restoration work as she all the work has been done to make her an eye catcher and quality driver. Paint appears to be a few years old with normal wear that you would expect, for example a few scratches near the hood area and some wear at the extreme corners. The interior is finished very nicely with an Impala Steering wheel and bucket seats all of which are in great condition. The exterior trim does have a few nicks and dings but what shows the most wear on the whole car is the front bumper does show hazing and the wind wings glass is original and starting to delaminate. Rubber front and rear window trim does show cracking from age and could easily be replaced. Engine compartment and trunk are absolutely amazing.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
China's rise, global restructuring wither GM's Korea division
Wed, Jan 7 2015An article in the Daily Kanban suggests the sun is setting on GM Korea, and it could already be well into dusk. GM Korea came about when General Motors, along with co-investors SAIC and Suzuki, bought Daewoo Motors from parent company Daewoo Group in 2001; it had a previous tie-up with GM, a joint venture that ended in 1992, although Daewoo cars were based on GM cars until 1996. Over the decade following the purchase, it became such an important part of operations that it was renamed GM Korea in 2011, "to reflect its heightened status in [the] global operations of GM." Just two years later, the printed rumors were that the subsidiary responsible for a fifth of Chevrolet's global production could be shutting down. The division's sales were down almost 21 percent through November of last year, counting domestic South Korean sales, exports, and CKD – Complete Knock Down – products. That makes the labor strife, already an issue for four years, even more acute, reports say the subsidiary will lose $36 million a year if it can't get the job and wage cuts it wants, and government concessions can't make up for the losses. And it gets worse, so head over to Daily Kanban to read the rest of the story.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
