 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.

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.

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement

Sun, May 31 2015

General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

GM is not aware of any humidity-related ruptures in Takata air bag inflators in any GM-badged vehicles in the field and knows of no crashes, injuries, fatalities or complaints regarding air bag performance in these vehicles.

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets
