Up for sale is my  57 belair.  I've had this car about 12 years and bought it because it used to be my grandpas.  He was the second owner, and he sold it to a local guy that drove it an indeterminate period of time before retiring it.  I hounded him about it for years until he finally sold it to me but I've finally come to the realization I'm not doing the car any justice to let it continue to set,  so I'm hoping to find it a good home where it'll get the attention and tlc that a car of this caliber deserves.  I'll describe condition best I can but check the pics, there are lots.  The floor pans appear very solid.  No apparent holes anywhere.  Trunk floor has one spot rusted through, it's pictured.  Spare tire we'll is solid.  No rust in the deck lid.  Bottom of doors look very solid too, just some surface rust.  Small spots at the bottom corner of either fender. A couple floor stringers are rusty but inner and outer rockers appear very solid. as you're looking at the pics, the spot above the center of the left rear wheelwell isn't rust blisters as the pic makes it look, it's actually the remnants of some sort of insect nest.   Other than the rh fender and quarter this car is all original paint.  The quarter was repaired long ago, evidenced by the use of lead filler.  The fender appears to be more of a 70s vintage repair, with plastic filler.  No other bodywork or paint work has ever been done on this car.  No amateur restorations or cobble jobs.  Other than the two fender bender repairs this thing is untouched since it rolled off the line.  Original trunk mat still there, also pictured in the trunk are some interior trim pieces, light lenses, the missing headlight bucket, trim ring and garnish, antenna base, one of the three original hubcaps still with the car, and some misc.  if you see something missing in the pics, it is most likely in the trunk, this car is very complete.  You're even looking at (what's left of) the original upholstery!  All the windows roll up and down and wing vents crank out like they should.  We had the engine running several years ago on a small bottle of fuel.  Probably needs gone through but is usable and I believe it original to the car.  I know my grandpa never replaced any driveline components and the guy I got it from said he never had any issues and he drove it years earlier to the spot it was sitting when I got it.  Same story on the rest of the power train.  Pictured are a couple old oil change stickers that support the mileage reading on the odometer.  I've got a endorsed title for the car, issued in 1971. I've covered the name on the pic of it for privacy reasons. Also shown is a old photo of the car from when it belonged to grandpa.  Feel free to message me with any questions.  Absolutely no paypal. cash or certified funds only, and the car will not leave my possession until I am completely satisfied that funds have cleared.  I can store the car if need be but it must be paid for within one week of auction end.  It should go without saying but here it is anyways:  you are not bidding on the opportunity to look at the car or come check it out and make your final decision, if you are high bidder you are the new owner.  Check with the wife and bank BEFORE bidding.  car sold as is, where is.  i have described it to the best of my ability/knowledge, no warranty or guarantees expressed or implied.  any potential bidders are more than welcome to come check out the car in person at any time.  Thanks for looking.

The pic of the trunk floor looks worse than it really is, the only rust through is at the left front corner, there is a close up shot of it.  The rest is just surface rust.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

GM laying off more than 4,000 workers Monday morning

Sat, Feb 2 2019

According to reports from Automotive News, The Detroit News, and CNN, General Motors plans to begin laying off more than 4,000 salaried workers starting Monday morning. In a statement to AN, a spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are not confirming timing. Our employees are our priority. We will communicate with them first." We've been expecting layoffs at General Motors since November, 2018. At the time, the Detroit-based automaker announced it would seek to shed 8,100 salaried employees, shut down five assembly plants in North America, and kill off several slow-selling models. One month earlier, GM offered buyout packages to 18,000 workers and said it would seek to cut its global workforce by 25 percent. A spokesperson said at the time the moves were "proactive steps to get ahead of the curve by accelerating our efforts to address overall business performance." The cost-cutting moves are expected to save GM up to $2.5 billion in 2019 and as much as $6 billion by 2020. David Kudla, CEO and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Capital Management, referred to the impending culling as "Black Monday" and told The Detroit News that the layoffs would begin around 7:30 a.m. and continue in waves throughout the coming days and weeks. GM plans to deliver on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 earnings report on Wednesday. President Donald Trump plans to deliver the annual State of the Union address a day earlier on Tuesday. We expect to hear plenty more from both sides over the next several days.
