1953 Chevrolet Bel Air Big Block Hotrod 4 Door Automatic Trans on 2040-cars
Elizabeth City, North Carolina, United States
|
This car was purchased last year with the intention of finishing the interior and driving it for long hours and vast miles, but work won't relent and the spare time has vanished. I have driven the car quite often and always get great remarks and warm memories from those that see her, but this 53 is never going to see completion with me. The car has a recently rebuilt .030" bored 454ci big block with magnum roller rockers,comp cam, high velocity oil pump, gear drive,edelbrock dual-plane intake, holley street avenger carb, ported and polished heads, water pump and aluminum radiator. The TCI Street Fighter turbo 400 automatic trans is also a recent installation with it's own aluminum cooler mounted up front, and controlled with a B&M ratchet shifter. I was referred to a dyno sheet that showed approx. 420 horses at 530 ft/lb of torque for this engine. The body is pretty solid, the rear door outer handles have been shaved, but the doors open fine from the inside. the front seat are from a Lincoln LSC from the late 80's, and should be updated to something more suitable for this neat ride. The steering column is a GM tilt column with the ignition key mount. The interior has never been completed, and I felt there was no cause to impose my taste if I was just going to sell. The car is a fun driver, it has a half-keg for a fuel tank mounted in the trunk; and it is connected to a fuel gauge. She doesn't leak any fluids or burn any oil,and includes some spare components and goodies. Contact Mark with any questions or to set up a time for a go-around, my # is 252-340-2683.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
