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 pickup truck plant in Flint to add 1,000 assembly workers

Tue, Feb 5 2019

FLINT, Mich. — General Motors said Tuesday it will add 1,000 workers to build new heavy-duty pickup trucks at its plant in Flint, Michigan, and will give priority to GM workers who were laid off elsewhere. The announcement comes the day after GM said it was starting to hand pink slips to about 4,000 salaried workers in the latest round of a restructuring announced in late November that will ultimately shrink its white-collar workforce in North America by 15 percent out of 54,000. GM has come under fire from U.S. President Donald Trump and Midwestern lawmakers for its plans to stop production at five North American factories and cut up to 15,000 jobs in all. The automaker has said it is trying to find new jobs for 1,500 U.S. hourly workers at the affected plants. Flint's truck plant could be a haven for many of these employees. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday will celebrate the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. Elsewhere in the company on Monday, two people briefed on the cuts in the white-collar salaried workforce said GM is cutting hundreds of jobs at its information technology centers in Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Michigan and more than 1,000 jobs at its Warren, Michigan Tech Center. GM is filing new required mass layoff notices with state agencies and disclosed the cuts to lawmakers. The largest U.S. automaker announced in November it would cut a total of about 15,000 jobs and end production at five North American plants. The cuts include eliminating about 8,000 salaried workers, or about 15 percent. GM cut about 1,500 contract workers in December and said 2,300 salaried workers accepted buyouts, officials said. "These actions are necessary to secure the future of the company, including preserving thousands of jobs in the U.S. and globally. We are taking action now while the overall economy and job market are strong, increasing the ability of impacted employees to continue to advance in their careers, should they choose to do so," GM spokesman Pat Morrissey said, adding the bulk of the cuts should be completed in the next two weeks. Morrissey said GM would provide salaried workers with severance packages and job placement services.

AWD turbodiesel Equinox, Terrain dropped for 2020

Thu, May 2 2019

Citing low demand, General Motors is dropping the AWD diesel options off the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain roster. Chevrolet spokesman Kevin Kelly confirmed to CarsDirect that for 2020, the diesel versions of these SUVs will only be offered with front-wheel-drive. CarsDirect notes that with the AWD diesel Equinox and Terrain gone, the only AWD diesel option in this class is the Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv diesel, which is significantly more expensive: As the AWD diesel CX-5 is only available in a fully loaded Signature specification, the $42,045 price tag is almost $10k heftier than the cheapest comparable Equinox, the AWD 1.6-liter diesel LT which starts from $32,495. The 2019 GMC Terrain AWD SLE costs $34,795 in comparison, which works out to being around $7,200 cheaper than the Mazda. The higher trim levels for the Equinox and Terrain are Premier and SLT, respectively. Some reasoning behind the AWD diesel GM SUV's low uptake is their own price difference to base FWD gasoline models: you can get a 1.5-liter Equinox for less than §25,000 listed. While the 2.2-liter Mazda has plenty more power at 168 hp and 290 lb-ft, compared to 137hp and 240 lb-ft in the 1.6-liter GM SUVs, the Equinox and Terrain are notably more frugal – they are rated 32mpg combined, while the Mazda can manage 28 mpg. With better fuel economy and a significantly lower list price, the General Motors twins are at least more wallet-friendly when it comes to numbers, and as the vehicles will cease to be built in that configuration there's likely to be some cash on the hood on ones in stock.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
