This is a nice, low mileage '53 Chevrolet. It only has 63k original miles on it and is in excellent overall condition. The car runs, drives, and looks very good. The body is straight and virtually rust free. All original body panels with nice floors, trunk, frame, rockers, spare tire well etc. This is NO Bondo buggy and the nice body is one of the main reasons I bought it. It has had only one repaint and is still it's orginal color. Paint is older (@ 1980) but still shows/shines very nice with some here and there touched up chips etc. Interior is stock and is nice and clean. To my knowledge, everything on the car works- including lights, turn signals, gauges, wipers, horn, radio, and heater (not sure about the clock). I added a set of (4) new seatbelts with the old style chrome airplane latches. The drivetrain is original to the car and in good working order. The motor is the factory 235 c.i. 6 cyl and the transmission is the original 3 speed manual. It runs and drives excellent. It will get in the mid to upper teens for gas mileage and I drive it quite regularly, probably 3 or 4 times a wk. It always starts right up, runs cool, holds good oil pressure etc. It is dependable enough to be your daily driver if you want. Like I said, I drive it alot and am not afraid to go anywhere in it. Brakes and full exhaust have been re-done not too long ago. All glass is in good shape with no cracks. The windows roll up and down normally and it has a factory Fulton visor. I added a few teeth to the grill, including a gold one. It is sublte and I love the look but it/they are easily removed if not to the new owner's taste. Tires are wide white wall bias plys with probably 80%+ tread left. I bought the car with plans to cut it up into a custom but have decided against the project. I planned to have the top chopped, suspension drastically lowered via modified Mustang II, and to swap the original drivetrain to a tri-power 348 w/ auto transmission. I have been driving the car stock for the last year or so and realized that this one is just too nice to take all apart and cut up. It is too cool like it is. I usually have hot rods that are so drastic they are nearly undriveable, but this one has been fun being able to use it as a normal car. It seats 4 comfortably, doesn't bottom out or scrape therefore you can go anywhere, has a big trunk, doesn't guzzle gas, is dependable and just fun to drive. I am selling to buy a 50-52 Cadillac coupe and basically cut it up... I can answer most any question you have on the car so please don't be shy. The car comes with a clear Ky title in my name with current insurance and registration.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
