1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Sedan 4-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Enterprise, Alabama, United States
|
Hello. I am not an automobile dealer or collector. This was my father's 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. He died several years ago and I have had it ever since. Although I keep it insured, I miht drive it 30 miles A YEAR. It has been in a few parades etc. -otherwise it has been under a tarp. I know very little about automobiles, but need to lay on cash. I have twin daughters that begin college in the fall. I have taken a number pictures and welcome and ncourage you to call or come by and take a look. I will be more than happy to answer any questions you have. I must point out that it is SOLD AS IS. PLEASE understand this. I will however answer all questions as best I can and you can have a mechanic come with you or whatever to insure you like what you get. I really do not know how to evaluate its value--but based on what I am seeing on Ebay, i think I have it priced right!. I do not know the engine size. If you know how to instruct me on determining the size, let me know. I do know my dad had a different engine put in it not long before he died. The car runs very smoothly, sounds fine, and has plenty of get up and go. All I have had to do to it is buy new batteries that have run down from lack of use. I do not know of any engine problems. It does not use a lot of water or oil. It does not appear to leak oil, but I know it has not had any new seal for several years. Don't know how that works. The brakes work OK--but they are old disc brakes and I do not like to drive it. I had it painted about 6 or 7 years ago. I had it painted the same colors it has always been. We called this car "ol' Blue". It has very little rust. I noticed a couple of "paint bubbles" on one door panel, but no visible rust. We do NOT live in an area where salt is used, so there is minimal rust to the undercarriage. There is no rust in the trunk. It has original chrome. There is some bent and dented chrome. There is rust on the fenders coming through the chrome. I would think they need rechroming. The interior is OK for a 50 year old car. There is no rips or tears. My father had new door panels put in a few years ago. I can remember it was quite expensive. The hardware is original and there is a lot of wear to chrome on door handles. The windows do work, but it is hard to raise and lower windows, especially on drivers side. The headliner is original and needs replacing. It does have a working heater, no AC-never had it. My father bought the seat belts, but they have never been installed. They are still in box in trunk. Tire rims are original, in good shape, but do have rust. The tires are not worn, but are probably close to dry rotting. They hold air, but I would not recommend driving on them. It would be advisable to have the car towed to new home and inspected before driving long distances. It has spare tire- i guess it is original too. No antenna or working radio-still has orginal radio in dash. The glass is not broken- good windows and windshields. I have no idea how many miles the new engine actually has- I do not know if my Dad put in a rebuilt engine or what--I am not a mechanic. i do not know what size it is. It uses regular gas. The seals on the doors are pretty bad--dry rotted. Floor boards are good. Overall this car is not bad to be an old classic. I truly hate to sell it and would not if i did not need the money. I want you to be happy with it, but again sold AS IS. I am not going to predict what a 50 year old car will do. If you would like to make an appointment to look at it or if you have questions please call me at 334-237-0110. I am on central time--please do not call after 8 o'clock. It will be your responsibility to move the vehicle. Although it drives now-I would be very leasry about driving it home. The tires are old and the car has not been on a long drive in years.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
Weekly Recap: Revisting the BBC report that ended Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear run
Sat, Mar 28 2015Jeremy Clarkson's long run as a Top Gear host has come to an end, and the reason is clear: His physical assault on one of the show's producers crossed a line, and the government-owned BBC couldn't tolerate it. The incident between Clarkson and Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon was initially described as a "fracas," and Clarkson was suspended. But his popularity and widespread support – even British Prime Minister David Cameron weighed in – suggested that the controversial Clarkson might be given yet another chance. The BBC put this to rest Wednesday when it sacked Clarkson and revealed the findings of its investigation. The report spelled out how Clarkson struck Tymon on the patio of a North Yorkshire (UK) hotel, leaving him with a bloodied, swollen lip. It was severe enough that the producer sought medical treatment. During and after the attack, Clarkson shouted expletives at Tymon and threatened to fire him. The noise carried into the hotel's dining room and even to a bedroom. Local police investigated the incident, but Tymon isn't pressing charges. The huge audience numbers, Clarkson's popularity and the high-octane excitement of Top Gear all melted away in the eyes of BBC director-general Tony Hall, who saw an attacker and a victim. "For me a line has been crossed," he said in a statement. "There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations." In that moment, Clarkson was the bad guy, though he was actually the one who reported it to the network and made repeated attempts to apologize to Tymon. He's also urged the media to leave the producer alone. Hall voiced regret in the statement that announced Clarkson's contract would not be renewed, but the BBC decided to move on. Rumors are swirling about possible replacements for Clarkson. The network says it wants to continue Top Gear in 2016 and is looking to air the rest of this season's episodes. Despite the controversy, the show has a global audience of 350 million viewers and is one of the BBC's most valuable properties. It's unclear what Clarkson's co-hosts, James May and Richard Hammond, will do, as their contracts were also reportedly up to be renewed.
