1966 Belair Solid Original Oklahoma 2dr Post Small Block/manual Transmission on 2040-cars

Year:1966 Mileage:67500 Color: has had a repaint years ago and has some fading and flaking
Location:

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

I hate to let this car go but I'm chasing something even better, so its up for auction.

This is a great 66 Bel Air 2 dr post. Excellent frame, floors, trunk...It has some rust in the lower rear quarters but otherwise is a great project car.

I was assembling parts to make it a 396/4 speed car but plans changed.

It started life as a 6 cylinder car in Oklahoma, and at some point the motor was replaced with a 307? (DO suffix code) 2bbl engine years ago. Motor runs great - starts easy and is super smooth. Carb needs an accelerator pump - hesitates on take off.   New exhaust just installed.  Trans is a column shifted Saginaw HD 3 speed.  Color is the original teal metallic with teal interior.

Runs and drives ok but I haven't put many miles on it lately. Manual drum brakes feel good, manual steering is tight. Lights work. Needs heater core and fuel sender.

Not sure if its ready to be a daily driver but its close. 

Interior is fair - previous owner removed carpet and applied rustoleum to the front floors. Seats and door panels have wear as shown. Odometer shows 67k miles. Windshield was replaced a couple years ago.

Exterior has had a repaint years ago and has some fading and flaking. There are several dings on the hood and trunk. Hood has a rust pinhole on the front edge but otherwise is solid, trunk lid has some bubbling in one corner.  Core support is excellent except for some minor rust around one mount. Needs a battery tray. Rockers and floors are excellent. Nice trim, grille and bumpers.  Everything under the car is covered in Oklahoma dust and flaky factory undercoating.

Please see all 50+ photos for details.

Clear Oklahoma title in hand.  I have a pair of full quarter skins available to the buyer for an extra $200, and if the car sells I'll be listing the 402 and rebuilt muncie I had saved for this car, as well as '66 specific parts like oil pan, big block manifolds, shifter, etc.

The car comes with a set of dog dish hubcaps as shown below, and also a new set of brake/clutch pedal pads.

Located in the eastern side of Cincinnati, Ohio, zip 45206. 

The car is seriously for sale and I welcome appointments to view it. Price is somewhat flexible but I have over $4000 in the car and don't want to lose my shirt.

International bids welcome. Thanks for looking!

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis

Fri, Mar 7 2014

What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.
