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

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber
Thu, Dec 7 2017It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala
Fri, May 23 2014Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.
