1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon with a 327 4bbl auto. This is a project I decided I don't have time for, although it's an easy restore. She runs and drives, although I would recommend trailering to get it home. Odometer shows 77,000 miles and I was told by previous owner that it is original, but I can't guarantee that. Some things lead me to believe it is and others don't. This is a solid car that turns heads and gets comments even in its half restored condition. Actually quite rare if you search for ones for sale. So, following is a break down of condition:


Exterior: Good. Front clip shown in black is rust and dent free - OEM, ready for finishing.  Doors are solid - they have that wonderful feel and sound when you shut them - no rust or dents. Both rear wheel wells are rusted through, but not horribly so - see pictures. The area under the car behind the rear wheels is completely rusted through. Floorboards are solid - no rust.  Rear gate - just a little surface rust. Back window is not operational at this time, but I'm quite sure that's an easy fix.  As I have time, I may tinker with a few things and update the listing as I fix them. Rear bumper has a slight dimple in it.  All other trim/moulding/grille is good, except fender moulding missing on R side and short piece missing on L side fender. Windshield has about an 8" crack near the rear view mirror - doesn't go to any edge, it's just an 'island' crack - not in driver view. All other glass good. 

Interior: Good. Seats have been reupholstered to original specs. Headliner is good. Dash is good. No cracks or warping. Carpet decent - has one hole on driver side about the size of a softball and another up underneath the dash out of view. Dash/instrument panel all good. Weather stripping around interior of doors is frayed. Steering wheel is good. Original radio is gone. The one in it is worthless. Door pillar moulding or cover on the L side is kinda coming off, but is fixable with what is there. Back seat is good. Not a 3rd seat model. Condition of carpet in cargo area is so-so. 

Mechanical/Electrical: Engine runs strong. Has new starter.  Carb will need some work - you have to pump like heck to get her to start, but once running, it is smooth and doesn't need to be babied to keep going until warmed up. Needs an alignment. Transmission operates perfectly. Sometimes when you turn it off after running it makes a strange sound that I thought was coming from maybe the power steering pump or alternator, but a person I talked to who is more mechanically inclined than me said (without hearing it himself) that it could be the thrust bearing in the tranny.  Has a leak around the thermostat housing - one of those things I might get around to fixing while auction is going on. Brakes are spongy.  Tires are like new (front ones on there now are worn from alignment issue, but I have 2 good ones to throw to make 4 good ones). There is no jack.

That pretty much covers everything that I think is worth noting.  Of course, checking it out in person would be the best, if you can work that out.  Has clear Idaho title. Might be best to just call me at (509)291-3280, Buyer will be responsible for shipping or pick up.  $500.00 deposit due immediately upon close of auction

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing

Tue, Sep 29 2015

The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.

Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans 

Thu, Apr 30 2020

Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.

Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming

Sun, Feb 5 2023

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.   Marketing/Advertising TV/Movies Chevrolet GM GMC Hummer
