I am selling a really nice all stock original Survivor 1962 Chevrolet Belair 4 door sedan. It is light shell beige with a fawn interior. This wonderful classic has only had 2 previous owners. It has not been driven in winter snow or salt conditions. First owner spent summers in Long Island, NY and winters in Florida. He had it until he was 93 years old! Second owner was an old car hobbyist who only drove it in nice weather to various shows, cruise-ins, and for pleasure.
Car is equipped with:
283 V8 with 2bbl carburetor
Powerglide automatic transmission
Power steering
Power brakes
Deluxe heater/defroster
Full wheel covers
Deluxe pushbutton radio
Car is all stock under the hood, interior, in the trunk, and retains about 75% of its original finish! Car is also all original sheet metal, floor pans, etc, and is not scaly underneath. Quarter panels and seams still have their original GM "pinch welds". Body panels are original with no patch panels. Car still has original spare in trunk, and still has all 4 original T-3 headlights! Hard to find all stock and un-molested like this! Car has 80,000 original miles since new 51 years ago!
This Belair rides and drives just great! The 283 engine and Powerglide transmission are strong and smooth at all speeds, no smoking or leaking. Everything works on the car except radio needs a new speaker. I like to make sure all my cars are reliable and ready to use. I recently drove it on a 250 mile round trip to a show with no problems or issues. I would not be afraid to drive this car anywhere!
Much recent maintenance has been done:
Engine tuned up
Carburetor rebuilt
Battery replaced
Exhaust replaced
Shocks replaced
Brakes replaced
Cooling system flushed, water pump replaced, and radiator cleaned
Belts, hoses, and clamps replaced
Heater core replaced
Correct "Tuxedo" carpet replaced
Tires replaced with correct reproduction whitewall BF Goodrich Silvertown tires.
Car is nice and straight, retains 75% of original finish. Paint still holds a nice shine. Has a nice patina. Original chrome and brightwork are all very nice. Nice, neat, and all stock original under the hood. Of course like any used car, let alone one that is 51 years old, there are minor imperfections and also small nicks and door dings. These have been touched up with an artists brush so they won't be a further issue. Car is not dented up, rusted out, and has not been wrecked. Just a nice Survivor that has weathered the years well and stood the test of time. It is a real pleasure to drive, and looks great going down the road. Survivor cars are the up and coming thing in the collector car hobby. Remember, any neglected old car can be restored, but they are only original once! Don't miss this neat example!
ABOUT ME: I am a long time (35 years) hobbyist and collector of nice original "Survivor" cars. I have been in the same location for over 25 years and collect, trade, and fool with nice original cars from the late 1950s to mid 1980s. I keep a "rotating collection" of 6 to 8 such cars. When new arrivals appear, I will sell some to make room. This is the case here.
NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE!
Now for the rules:
1. Your bid is a contract! If you are the successful bidder, you are expected to pay! Please have all contingencies handled and your money in place BEFORE you bid! No retractions will be allowed, so be sure BEFORE you bid! Please read and understand this: ASK QUESTIONS AND GET ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BID.
2. An $1200.00 NON REFUNDABLE partial payment is due within 48 hours of end of auction. This can be by bank wire transfer. Pay Pal is NOT acceptable for this. Balance is due within 7 days of auction's conclusion. This can be by bank wire transfer as well, and is probably the safest method.
3. Please note that car and I am currently at my summer residence. This is in upstate NY, about 1 hour west of Albany, and 1.5 hours east of Syracuse.
4. Vehicle and papers will not leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. If you are paying with ANY kind of check, it must clear MY bank before car or ownership will be released. No exceptions! Please note that with all the fraudulent money orders out there, most banks treat them like personal checks and place a 5 to 7 business day hold on them. Wire transfer is the best method. If you are paying balance on pickup, it must be cash in person. No exceptions.
5. Vehicle is sold strictly as-is at my premisies with no guarantee or warranty of any kind.
6. Transportation is the buyer's responsibility. I will try to reasonably help and accommodate you any way I can, but it still YOUR responsibility.
7. If you cannot pick up immediately, that is fine, it can be left here for a reasonable period. However, it still must be paid for within the 7 days, and you should secure insurance as I cannot be responsible for loss or damage due to circumstances beyond my control or act of God.
8. Please ask and get satisfactory answers to all questions BEFORE YOU BID! Since sold strictly as/is, no warranty or returns, once you bid, you have made a binding contract.
9. Car is advertised locally for sale. If I find a buyer through that venue, I reserve the right to end auction early. Please call me at 704-661-1326 (cell) or 518-835-5058 (landline) with any further questions about this. due to spotty cell service, call both and leave messages at both if no answer.
10. If you have been an Ebay member for less than a year and/or have less than 10 feedbacks, and/or have less than a 95% rating, you MUST contact me BEFORE you bid. Failure to do this may result in my cancelling your bid and blocking you from bidding on my items. I understand that new members can be great customers, but I must talk to you first. Thanks a lot!
Please note, that these are the rules, and are part of the contract when you place a bid. Please as questions BEFORE you bid, if you don't understand something. I am sorry for all the rules, but it seems that 5% of difficult people spoil it for the 95% who are good. Thanks very much for looking! Again, please feel free to call 704-661-1326 cell or 518-835-5058 landline with any questions. Leave message if no answer. Thanks for looking!

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
