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.

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles
Mon, Oct 19 2015An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
GM puts e-commerce shopping in car dashboards
Tue, Dec 5 2017DETROIT — General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving. GM's Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said. GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said. "This platform is financed by the merchants," Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant's application on its screens, and "there's some level of revenue sharing" based on each transaction, he said. It is too soon to say how much revenue GM could realize from the Marketplace system, he said. The GM Marketplace will compete for customer clicks and revenue with hand-held smartphones, which offer a far richer array of applications than the GM system will at the outset. Amazon.com is partnering with other automakers, including Ford, to offer in-car e-commerce capability through Amazon's Alexa personal assistant system. For example, GM will launch Marketplace with just Shell and Exxon Mobil icons in the fuel category. The only restaurant available for in-car table reservations at launch is the chain TGI Fridays, GM said. In addition, there will be apps for parking, and ordering ahead at coffee shops and restaurants such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Applebee's. "We will be adding more vendors," with some coming in the first quarter of 2018, Chamorro said. In addition, he said GM plans to expand integration into its vehicles of music, news and other information services. GM also hopes to use its in-car Marketplace connections to expand purchases of products and services, such as additional access to in-car wifi, from its own replacement parts business and dealer network. Customers can "expect to see more service promotions coming through the platform," Chamorro said. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video:
