1953 Chevrolet BelAir 2 door sedan roller. garage find
Are you tired of working on a project with rusty floors, trunk floor, floor braces, rockers, doors etc. then this is the car for you.
This body is as close to rust free as a 60 year old car gets.
The car has been garaged most of it's life.
Original seat covers still in decent shape.
This car is a steal, hard to find this good of a starting point for my low reserve.
Unfortunately an eye injury will delay the build indefinitely, so I have decided to sell.
This was a well optioned car - Powerglide, power steering, tinted glass, deluxe heater, radio, clock, fender skirts, etc.
It's new life could be that of a well optioned updated car.
I had planned a 350 with automatic overdrive, TCI front and rear suspension, power steering, Vintage Air, cruise and tilt.
The original drivetrain and steering gear have been removed and sold since I was going to build a modified car.
Unfortunately an eye injury will delay the build indefinitely, so I have decided to sell.
The previous owner had started disassembly about 20 yrs ago and primed some of the body (only to preserve it).
New weatherstripping including windshield and backglass rubber, door rubber, trunk rubber, fender antisqueak rubber.
Also included are new window felts, window channel (flexible and rigid) and side glass channel setting rubber.
A complete triple-plated chrome rear bumper and bumper guards is included.
A new wiring harness is included.
The grill and right front fender were damaged many years ago, The new owner can choose to repair or replace these.
The windshield and back glass and the beltline stainless trim is included.
It appears that most of the BelAir stainless around the side windows is included.
Basically there is none of the BelAir side stainless trim.
I was going to weld up these holes for the smooth look.
For a better idea of the stainless included please see the pics.
The front and back glass garnish moldings are inclded.
The front and back glass are included.
All side glass mechanisms work.
Original instruments, condition unknown, are included
The Pontiac Rally wheels on the car are not included but are available at extra cost.
The original wheels will be installed which are good enough only to load the car on a trailer.
The original front suspension has been left for rolling around the shop until a Mustang II based front suspension or GM subframe is installed.
The original rear axle has been replaced with a proper width GM 10 bolt posi rear axle.
All loose items will fit inside the trunk and interior for shipping.
Please contact Steve at 205-422-8967 with questions.
My sale policy is simple, a $250 deposit is required within 24 hours.
If you don't want the car when you come to pick it up you only forfeit the small deposit to cover my advertising expense.
Many more pics are available if desired.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
The Opel GT is the concept General Motors should build for the US
Sat, Feb 27 2016Now is the time. General Motors should double-down on performance cars and build the Opel GT concept that's set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Better yet, sell it in the United States as the Chevy GT. Consumers are showing a thirst for performance cars not seen in decades. Ford has them coming in waves, with everything from the F-150 Raptor to a hotted-up Fusion. FCA US is unrepentantly building loads of Hellcats. GM should respond. The General's cupboard is hardly bare. With the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac's V-Series, GM has more than enough to compete with its crosstown rivals and anything Europe or Japan can throw at it. But there's also an opportunity. There's not many front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars out there like the Opel GT concept. A Chevy GT that used that layout and captured some of the concept car's proportions and curves would ignite a different kind of passion in enthusiasts. It would be Miata-like. With Chevy branding, this sports car would be the everyday exotic. The concept has a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which makes about 143 horsepower to motivate a structure that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. It can hit 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds. All of those numbers are within the front-engined Miata's territory. This new Opel is inspired by two great mid-1960s concepts that helped put its design studio, and that of its sister brand, the British Vauxhall, on the map. (The GT concept is also technically a Vauxhall, as the brands are linked in GM's European strategy.) One of them, the '66 Vauxhall XVR remained a concept. The '65 Opel Experimental GT was on the road by 1968. That shows this is doable. There's precedent. The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice shared a chassis with a modern GT during that trio's brief run. If GM ever makes this concept, Opel and Vauxhall should get their versions. But Chevy is the one that could make this car a global icon. Chevrolet GT. Make it happen. News & Analysis News: The potential return of the Ford Bronco is generating a ton of attention. Analysis: That's not news, per se. But when the Bronco6G.com fan site did a rendering of a next-generation Bronco, it almost broke the Internet. Everyone from Automotive News to Jalopnik picked up the illustrations. Our own post has drawn a lot of traffic and passionate responses. People are clamoring for the Bronco's return.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
