What we have is another project offered by the Toy Factory Auto Restorations and Custom paint. Its a 54 Chevy Belair 2 door sedan with a great running 235 inline 6 cylinder engine and a three speed manual transmission on the column. It runs and shifts perfect. New starter. Clutch is good. The car is a prime candidate for someone handy and looking to save some money and do some work urself. I will do my best to describe the good and also the work that still needs to be done. First off, the car is recently painted with base/clear. Its a very nice paint job put over fairly decent body work. Its very presentable, but not a perfect job. The body work was already done when we recieved it. All we did was the paint. The floors have been repaired in the past using the correct pans. I dont know the extent of the body work, but i am revealing that it has had rust repair. The door jams and truck rails have been painted also. The brakes work with a slight pull to the right at first. Several new brake lines. Probably needs some adjusting. The windshield and rear window are good as are the rear side glass. Both door glass and one vent glass are cracked. The interior is where u are saving ur money on the purchase price of the car. It needs to be completely refurbished. The dash is good, just need to be repainted. No headliner, no carpet, I do have the door panels but the are very worn but still have the stainless u will need for the new ones. There is no front seat, but the rear seat is there and can be recovered. I do have an S10 seat in the car to move it around, u are welcome to have it with the auction. The exhaust is fine and doesnt show any signs of leaks. I put decent tires on the car and a real nice set of 56 chevy hubcaps on the car. I only have one 54 hubcap but it will go with the car. I have all the inside window trim. The wiring, as far as the lights, will need to be checked and hooked up. All the stainless trim seems to be here with the exception of the hood emblem and one headlight ring. The stainless and chrome are in driver condition. I do have the rear bumper, but not the mounting brackets. U can see that after paint that we have assembled most of the exterior of the car, but do to the fact that we are selling it as a project car, there is still more work to be done. The underneath will need some minor repairs as far as rust. For example, the inner rocker panels need replaced, and there is a few spots some mounts. There is some minor spots in the trunk also, but u can see in the photos that its not to bad. The car is still a 6 volt system. You can see that we have started the auction at a price that would usually only cover the paint job. I am listing it with no reserve also, so basically, ur getting a car with a new paint job that runs and drives, for the price of just the paint. So if u are not afraid of doing the finishing work ur self, or willing to drive it the way it is after u put the interior together, then i think this a great car to start with. As an added bonus, i will put a low "buy it now" for quick sale. ALSO, if u use the "buy it now" to purchase the car, i will throw in a set of rear fender skirts with the car. I hope i have described the car enough to make u feel confident on what u are getting. I do have the car for sale locally and will end the auction if it sells. Im including my personally number for serious inquiries about the car. 989-670-2700. Thanks for looking and God bless

Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady gives Chevy Colorado to Malcolm Butler [w/poll]
Tue, Feb 3 2015Winning the Super Bowl, we'd imagine, is pretty sweet. Winning the MVP award at the Super Bowl, even more so – for many reasons, among them that you get a brand new Chevy Colorado, packed full of, you know... technology and stuff. Of course this year's Most Valuable Player was none other than Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quaterback who was crowned Super Bowl MVP for the third time and lead the Pats to win the Super Bowl for the fourth time. He makes tens of millions every season, and Mrs. Brady (a.k.a. Gisele Bundchen) probably makes an extraordinarily pretty penny herself. So what does one of the most successful and wealthy players in NFL history need with a new pickup truck? Not a whole lot, apparently: the Boston Business Journal reports that he gave the truck to Malcolm Butler, the rookie cornerback who intercepted Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson's pass on the Patriots' one-yard line with only twenty seconds to go and sealed the victory for New England. Which strikes us as a fitting gesture, even if Brady did keep the MVP trophy for himself.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
