OK, first of all so we are all clear, there is no VIN and no Title to this vehicle or its parts.  I'm calling it a parts car or a builder if you have your own title.  This was purchased to be restored and after blasting it we have decided to go in a different direction. It is a California boxed frame car, 1957 Bel Air 2 door hardtop.  The body and all sheetmetal has been professionally blasted and Epoxy primered at a cost of 2,500.  The chassis is original with a very rare 283 not sure if it is original to the chassis, with power steering and power brakes, all these parts are included as well as what is on the pallet in the picture.  Also included is a full new floorpan from Ecklers from rocker to rocker and front to back, this cost 1,200.  You also get a new decklid from Ecklers that cost 1,000 as well as a full left quarter panel from Ecklers that cost 1,000.  That is all the replacement sheetmetal that will come with the car.  No trim is included or windows, all that you get is on the pallet or setting on the car, no bumpers.  The car has some rust, is is all very repairable as you can see, one door has rust inside it at the bottom and should be replaced, both fenders are solid except for at the bottoms where they need patched.  Both quarters have rust under the side moldings and at the bottom.  the hood has rust at the back edge but is repairable.  Right side rocker panel and one floor brace need replacing and that is about it.  The trunk is solid, roof is good and firewall.  Minor rust in trunk gutter and around right front of windshield lower area.  I highly recommend that you look at the car before bidding because I don't want any whining when you see it has some rust.  It will be hard to load on a transport truck due to all the parts so if you intend to ship it you will have to arrange all of that and I will load it but they usually don't like to ship them with that many loose pieces.  Any questions or concerns feel free to call at 972-496-3278 Again, NO TITLE or VIN numbers with this project car.  Bill of sale will be provided. It is not a salvage title but I had to put something on it for ebay.  Also, we can put the body on the chassis before pickup to help out with shipping it.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
