1954 Bel Air 210

 

This is a 1954 Bel Air 210 with a 235 6 cyl and a Powerglide Automatic transmission. This old coupe has been well taken care of and is a cool looking old cruiser. This car fires right up every time and hums like a sewing machine. It runs and drives beautifully. It has been converted to 12 volts. It has a new gas tank, new tires, and new headlight bucket assemblies with wiring harness. The car has been lowered 4" in the front by cutting the springs and 3" in the rear with lowering blocks.

The car was painted recently painted with a two tone powder blue and white paint job with lace panels sprayed on the roof to give it that old school hot rod look that both old timers and new car enthusiast can appreciate. The front portions of the rear quarter panels have been replaced. (the round humps where the gravel guards are). The chrome trim all around the car is in good condition except the rocker panel strips and the tail light bezels.Those can each be replaced for about $80. The gravel guards look good, but they have some scratches and dings (probably from doing their job). I spent a lot of time finding the right clips for the trim all over the car. The only clips I couldn't find were for the trim piece above the rear quarter window. Right now they are being held by trim tape. Its working well, but I want the new buyer to be aware of this. The front and rear emblems have been shaved. The chrome strip that goes down the center of the hood is brand new and gives the whole front of the car a smoother look. The rear quarters behind the rear tires have some body filler in them, but they weren't bad enough to warrant being replaced with a patch panel. You'd be hard pressed to find a 60 year old car now a days without any body filler for under $20k. This is a reasonably priced awesome old car that anyone could enjoy.

The interior is in GREAT shape. It has been reupholstered within the last 5-10 years. It has black carpeting and a dark navy blue seats and door panels. The trunk is overall solid with small pin holes and a nickel sized hole in the spare tire well. The whole trunk has been sprayed with a truck bed liner coating.

The wheels are the original steelies painted black with bullet lug nuts and new ribbed trim rings. One wheel stud on the rear axle needs to be replaced. The car comes with 2 new wheel cylinders, 3 new front brake lines and a new wheel bearing in case you need them in the future. Also included are a set of fender skirts painted to match the car. I didn't put them on because I don't have the clips needed to attach them.

The driver's door window has a small crack in the corner near the door lock, the passenger rear quarter window was shot with a BB gun and the passenger wing window has a small crack in it as well. The rest of the glass is in great shape to include the windshield and the rear window. The cracked glass does not impede any function or viewing. They're all flat pieces and can be easily replaced. The windshield wiper motor is still the original vacuum unit and it might work, but I don't know anything about them. I planned on picking up an electric one for a hundred bucks and being done with it.

The original tire jack and spare tire also come with the car. I have tried to be as honest as possible listing the good with the bad, but I know I am missing something. As I think of things I will add them as the auction goes on. With that being said please feel free to ask any and all questions. I will do my best to answer them as quickly as possible. Also if there are any specific pictures you would like to see just ask and I will get them out to you ASAP. I do have a clean and clear NC title for this car.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
