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.

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!

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

A conversation with GM's Mark Reuss on MPG, aluminum and Corvettes

Wed, Feb 19 2014

There was plenty to talk about when General Motors hosted its annual mid-December holiday media reception a few months ago. GM had just decided to pull its global Chevrolet brand out of major European markets, where Chevys have competed directly with GM Europe Opel and Vauxhall vehicles, and the US government had sold its last remaining shares of GM stock. But most important was the company's just-reshuffled leadership. Post-bankruptcy CEO Dan Akerson had announced that he would step aside and that 52-year-old Mary Barra would replace him on January 15. Not only would she be the first woman to lead a major automaker, she would also be GM's first engineer CEO since Bob Stempel in the early 1990s. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors" - Mark Reuss Replacing her as executive VP for global product development (and purchasing and supply chain) would be 49-year-old Mark Reuss, who had served a stellar four years as North American president, and elevated to corporate president (from executive VP and CFO) would be 42-year-old Dan Amman. All three are relatively young auto enthusiasts who are liked and respected inside and outside the company, and their collective talents and experience are highly complementary. I've interviewed Barra and found her smart, personable and knowledgeable, though she carefully walks the corporate line in speaking and answering questions. I met and chatted with Ammann for the first time at that holiday reception, and he made a good first impression. But I've known Reuss for some time as a genuinely good guy and a highly capable and inspiring leader, and I believe he is exactly the right person for the global product responsibility once famously held by the outspoken, oft-controversial Bob Lutz. So I jumped at an opportunity to join a group interview of Reuss (with mostly business reporters) at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was an interesting session of mostly good questions, which he answered with refreshing candor and humor. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors," Reuss said. "We've taken down almost every plant in North America, converted and turned it this last year, and to do that with award-winning vehicles and pretty flawless launches is key. We have to keep the train rolling on great product, because the rest won't happen without the best product, period." A reporter asked whether GM was pushing big trucks, SUVs and Corvettes again because gas is cheap. "No," Reuss said.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
