I am selling my project car that I have had for nearly 5 years because I have finally given up on the dream of getting it finished. My original intentions were to strip it down and make a drag car out of it, but $$$ got to be a little too much for me. I have lost interest in this project and would like to see someone with the desire to get it back on the road have a chance.
Here are the details:
1966 Chevrolet Bel Air (Biscayne/Impala) 2 door
350 V8/TH350 Auto - Engine is out of a 1980 Chevy truck that had very low miles. Has a mild cam, Performer intake, and Edelbrock 750 carb. Has headers, but NO exhaust. Trans works good (when last driven) and has a shift kit. Car has a 12 bolt rear. Also has newer tires on the front and completely bald tires on the rear (275/60/15). Wheels are GM ralleys. Car has an awesome stance and looks great. Note: The mileage listed in the description is a guess because Ebay required you to put something. The odometer reads 24000 but actual miles are unknown.
The interior leaves a little to be desired. It is all there, but it is all in rough shape. Seats need recovered, headliner needs replaced, door panels look a little rough, etc..
The body appears to be in good shape, as does the paint. There are a few dings as you can see in the pictures: 1. the front valance in front of the hood has a scratch with missing paint. 2. on the driver's side rear quarter panel, there is a spot where the paint is cracked from something hitting it that was in the trunk 3. on the trunk lid there is what looks like a ding from a bullet???
All of these things were there when I purchased the car. The trunk appears to be in good shape, as do the floorboards (the photo shows rust, but it looks like surface rust only on the drivers side).
The car needs a starter and a battery to run, and needs a serious tune-up to run good. I believe the valves need to be reset as this motor has not even been broken in since the cam was installed. I am honestly just completely burnt out on cars and have no interest in fixing these simple things.
This would make the perfect project car for someone. It would probably take too much to make a show car (my opinion) but would make an excellent driver/drag car/resto-mod. Much cheaper than a Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, Corvette, etc.
There are a couple things that will be included with the car: 1. I have a brand new trunk seal for it as the one on it needs replaced. 2. a large aftermarket front sway bar (not sure of brand, might be Hotchkiss???). I removed this as I was trying to make the front end lighter for racing.
I do have a pair of Moser axles for this car that I am listing separately, but will sell to the buyer of the car if you want them.
I know I am forgetting things so please ask if you have questions.
All Sales are Final and everything is being SOLD AS IS. Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding. It is up to the BUYER to arrange for pick up or shipping.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
