All Original 1957 Chevy Belair 2dr 283 Power Glide 87,000 Original Miles! on 2040-cars
Westmoreland, Kansas, United States
|
Up for sale is my 57 belair. I've had this car about 12 years and bought it because it used to be my grandpas. He was the second owner, and he sold it to a local guy that drove it an indeterminate period of time before retiring it. I hounded him about it for years until he finally sold it to me but I've finally come to the realization I'm not doing the car any justice to let it continue to set, so I'm hoping to find it a good home where it'll get the attention and tlc that a car of this caliber deserves. I'll describe condition best I can but check the pics, there are lots. The floor pans appear very solid. No apparent holes anywhere. Trunk floor has one spot rusted through, it's pictured. Spare tire we'll is solid. No rust in the deck lid. Bottom of doors look very solid too, just some surface rust. Small spots at the bottom corner of either fender. A couple floor stringers are rusty but inner and outer rockers appear very solid. as you're looking at the pics, the spot above the center of the left rear wheelwell isn't rust blisters as the pic makes it look, it's actually the remnants of some sort of insect nest. Other than the rh fender and quarter this car is all original paint. The quarter was repaired long ago, evidenced by the use of lead filler. The fender appears to be more of a 70s vintage repair, with plastic filler. No other bodywork or paint work has ever been done on this car. No amateur restorations or cobble jobs. Other than the two fender bender repairs this thing is untouched since it rolled off the line. Original trunk mat still there, also pictured in the trunk are some interior trim pieces, light lenses, the missing headlight bucket, trim ring and garnish, antenna base, one of the three original hubcaps still with the car, and some misc. if you see something missing in the pics, it is most likely in the trunk, this car is very complete. You're even looking at (what's left of) the original upholstery! All the windows roll up and down and wing vents crank out like they should. We had the engine running several years ago on a small bottle of fuel. Probably needs gone through but is usable and I believe it original to the car. I know my grandpa never replaced any driveline components and the guy I got it from said he never had any issues and he drove it years earlier to the spot it was sitting when I got it. Same story on the rest of the power train. Pictured are a couple old oil change stickers that support the mileage reading on the odometer. I've got a endorsed title for the car, issued in 1971. I've covered the name on the pic of it for privacy reasons. Also shown is a old photo of the car from when it belonged to grandpa. Feel free to message me with any questions. Absolutely no paypal. cash or certified funds only, and the car will not leave my possession until I am completely satisfied that funds have cleared. I can store the car if need be but it must be paid for within one week of auction end. It should go without saying but here it is anyways: you are not bidding on the opportunity to look at the car or come check it out and make your final decision, if you are high bidder you are the new owner. Check with the wife and bank BEFORE bidding. car sold as is, where is. i have described it to the best of my ability/knowledge, no warranty or guarantees expressed or implied. any potential bidders are more than welcome to come check out the car in person at any time. Thanks for looking.
On Sep-04-14 at 19:37:39 PDT, seller added the following information: The pic of the trunk floor looks worse than it really is, the only rust through is at the left front corner, there is a close up shot of it. The rest is just surface rust. |

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults
Mon, Dec 1 2014General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email.

GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one
Thu, Feb 25 2016A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.
Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe
Fri, Feb 12 2016The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan.

Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.
