Up for auction is my 1953 chevrolet sedan 2 door bel air. The car runs great, shifts good, and stops like it is supposed to. The rear of the frame has been c notched with a Gambino kustoms C notch kit and has air ride in the rear with a monoleaf and will lay frame with the stops pulled out. The car is a project/work in progress and is by no means perfect but it is fun to drive and gets alot of looks. The front suspension is stock other than having the springs shortened. The winsheild and back glass are in decent shape with no sugnificant clouding issues but the door glasses are cracked. The interior is not complete, the front and rear seats are in the car but it needs a headliner and door panels. The seats need to be recovered as well if you're looking for a total restoration, I'm rocking some mexican blankets. The car was painted before I purchased it with a flat white body and a heavy metallic blue roof. I have found no rust signs in the exterior of the car but did not see it before it was painted so I can't be positive. There is rust in the bottom of the doors (not on the outer skin) that needs to be patched if you're not going for the rat look. You can't see it unless the doors are open with the door panels removed. I have driven the car several times but the shocks need to be mounted on the rear end and a couple bugs need to be worked out to be 100% road worthy. I also have a NO LIMITS ENGINEERING mustang II front end that I purchased for the car with rack and pinion steering and tubular control arms with air ride that I would sell for an additional 1,500 after the purchase of the car, the kit sells new for 2,300. I will be adding more pics tomorrow.
I added more pics of the interior, engine compartment, and trunk. I also took a picture of the new carb that goes with the car. I tried to take picsof the floor boards and trunk pan but the carpet and insulation is glued down and i didn't want to tear it. I can see that the front pans have been patched and the trunk pan looks solid from what I can see. The spare tire recess has been cut out and welded up so that it doesn't hang down anymore. Again, ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability and remember this is not a show car by any means. It is a good project for someone who wants a rider to tinker with along the way.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
