1954 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Sedan 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars

Year:1954 Mileage:40641 Color: Solid South Carolina car brought to Indiana about
Location:

Bristol, Indiana, United States

Bristol, Indiana, United States

1954 Chevrolet BelAir 235 CU. 6 CYL Automatic - Power Glide - 2 Door    Original color with one re-paaint - Peblo Tan and Indian Ivory

40,145 miles on old speedometer - 496 miles on new speedometer.  I came across NOS speedometer, complete in box and since the old speedometer worked but was noisy, I changed the speedometer. Both speedometers come with car, as seen in pictures.

INTERIOR: Beautiful headliner, new rope, and tack strip professionally installed. The dashboard and steering column were professional painted the original color. Beautiful job.  New carpet and padding.  Seats: The top of backseat was sun burnt so I tried putting NOS seat covers on, as you can see in the pictures, but the bottom of backseat did not fit so that's when I quit. Probably should just get new covers and start over.

EXTERIOR: Solid South Carolina car brought to Indiana about 8 years ago.  Always parked inside and not driven in any kind of winter weather. I can see a small amount of body work between trunk lid and bumper pan. Shown in pictures. Rest of the car is solid including floor pans and all panels. Driver's side window works but does not work smoothly. Fogging on both wing vent windows. Other things: If car sets for a few weeks and you do not drive regularly the transmission pan gasket leaks but if driven regularly it does not leak at all.

I was told that it had a re-built motor installed in about 1996 but I do not have receipt for it. I do have receipt for re-built transmission installed 2/14/1996. I have a whole package of receipts for other things done to the car including when it was converted to 12 volt. This will come with the car. New front shocks were installed last year also new water pump.  A new battery approximately 2 years ago.  GAUGES: Gas gauge does not work - all other gauges work.  Has good replacement radio with cassette with Chevy emblem but it is hooked to old original speaker and does not sound too good. I have original radio if wanted. The horn stuck on so I had to disconnect wires at the horns. Also, took horn ring out under the cap on steering wheel, it is in the glove box.

All and all the car runs and drives and still has plenty of pep. It will turn heads wherever you drive it! We have sold our home and moving to a new place with less garage space.

For more information call 574-361-5673 as I'm sure there are things I have missed in the ad. Please DO NOT leave voice mail as I will not receive it.

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email. General Motors is recalling 273,182 Buick LaCrosse sedans and Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Saab and Isuzu midsize SUVs in the U.S. for possible intermittent or permanent loss of low beam headlamps.

What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt

Wed, Aug 13 2014

With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.
