This is an original 1954 Chevrolet Belair Sport Coupe. I have a clear title in my name.  The car has not been registered or driven since 1973. The term "barn fresh" is worn out, but this Two Door Hardtop Sport Coupe was parked in a Utah carport for many years, and to call it carport fresh seems sappy.  I drained the oil, changed the spark plugs, replaced the fuel pump, hooked up an auxiliary gas tank, put in a new six volt battery, and she fired right up.  The engine sound good with no unusual noise and the car shifts smoothly.  The car is very original.  The paint is original, but oxidized and there is rust in the rockers and lower rear fenders. The original interior is serviceable, but not perfect.  All the glass is good and the windows roll up and down. The lights, horn, and brake lights work as they should. The interior chrome is in very good condition.  Please look closely at all of the photos.  I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are buying.  My home phone, which is still attached to my kitchen wall, is (801) 745-0599.  My name is Bob and I will gladly answer any questions you have about the car.  The floors are dry and solid and the truck is good with a small rust problem and the passengers side. The spare tire well is good the the original spare tire is still in the trunk.  The car originally had a "Powerglide" transmission, but several years ago the Powerglide was replaced with a 1954 CHevrolet three speed manual transmission.  The Powerglide logo badge is still on the trunk lid. The reserve is very low and well under the cars value.  Good luck bidding.


As I mentioned, I want the new owner to know what they are getting.  With this in mind, I will outline the negative aspects of the car. 1. There are rust problems with the rockers on both sides and the rear lower section of the fenders are also rusted.  The frame and floors are good. There are aftermarket panels designed to correct the rust problems and a catalog comes with the car. 2. The brakes need attention. The brake master cylinder was dry after years of sitting and I think some of the wheel cylinders will need attention. 3. The interior is complete and not torn up. The front seat has a tear and the fabric is dry.  4. The gas tank has bad gas and it should be dropped and cleaned before filling it with fresh gas. This is a nice, original, Chevrolet Sport Coupe and an easy restoration project. Again, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give me a call.

If you have less than 10 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please call or email me before you bid.  I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction.  I don't want to stop the auction early. Please bid with confidence and give this original Chevrolet a good home. A $250.00 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing.

Seventies super-salesman challenges new car-sales record

Wed, Feb 21 2018

Some of the fondest memories from my youth were the Sunday afternoons spent walking between rows of new and used cars. This preceded the advent of widely available internet, so the cars didn't sell themselves online: A tentative buyer had to come see the cars in the metal, with old-school salesmen taking well-earned smoke breaks after putting someone behind the wheel of a new Saab 900. All-inclusive subscription services were unheard of. If you open a Guinness records book and look up car salesmen, you'll find Joe Girard. The definitely old-school Detroit salesman regularly sold over 1,000 new cars per year, with a particular high point of 1,425 cars in 1973 guaranteeing him a mention in the Guinness book. To reach that kind of sales figure, you had to be a pretty special salesman, and Girard was. He didn't take breaks unless absolutely necessary, and even his lunch hours were dedicated to selling more cars instead of shooting the breeze with other sales persons. By 1977 he was worn through, having sold over 13,000 cars in his career, and his physique couldn't take it anymore. He's been a motivational speaker since. Now, 44 years later, a Dearborn, Mich., Cadillac and Chevrolet salesman named Ali Reda has reportedly broken Girard's record. The books at Les Stanford Chevrolet Cadillac say Reda sold 1,530 new cars and 52 used cars in 2017, averaging 130 vehicles per month. But after Girard, 89, heard of the sales record, he called his attorney, not letting his record be broken without a fight — or at least an audit. The Dearborn dealer isn't too concerned about Girard's doubts, at least according to Gary Stanford, whose father founded the dealership. "It's very official, trust me," said Stanford to the Detroit Free Press. "Ali is the hardest worker I've ever seen. And if someone doesn't believe the data, well, they're more than welcome to consult with GM. It's all there in black and white." What Girard doesn't get is that Reda was honoring him with the accomplishment. "I read his book, 'How to Sell Anything to Anybody,' and it said it would teach you how to become the best," said Reda, who at age 44 was a newborn when Girard hit his peak. "He's an absolute legend in the industry. Your whole career, you're chasing his name.

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance

Thu, Aug 7 2014

Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.

This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Naysayers love to point out how dirty the electricity grid mix is when it comes to charging electric vehicles. Curmudgeons are eager to jump into any conversation about EVs to enlighten the lucky listeners about how plug-in cars contribute to pollution, sometimes even throwing in a dash of climate-change denial for good measure. (Thanks, buddy. Pray, tell me more about the plight of oppressed SUV owners.) Unless someone buys an EV just because they think they're cool (which, yeah, they often are), they probably have at least a passable understanding of their environmental pros and cons. As many EV owners are already aware, location has a lot to do with any particular plug-in car's carbon footprint. Still, there's always more to know, and knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if one uses it to do the right thing. That's why this handy-dandy map from Carnegie Mellon University is so interesting. CMU researchers have compiled information about the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of various EVs based on where they're charged, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The researchers looked at the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Prius Plug-In Hybrid versus the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid and the stop-start-equipped Mazda3 with i-ELOOP and compared grams of CO2 emitted per mile. CMU takes into account the grid mix, ambient temperature, and driving patterns. CMU takes into account the grid mix based on county, as well as ambient temperature and driving patterns in terms of miles traveled on the highway or in the city. For instance, if you drive a Nissan Leaf in urban areas of California, Texas, or Florida, your carbon footprint is lower than it would be if you were driving a standard Toyota Prius. However, if you charge your Leaf in the Midwest or the South, for the most part, you've got a larger carbon footprint than the Prius. If you live in the rural Midwest, you'd probably even be better off driving a Mazda3. Throughout the country, the Chevrolet Volt has a larger carbon footprint than the Toyota Prius, but a smaller one than the Mazda3 in a lot of urban counties in the US. The Prius and Prius Plug-In are relatively equal across the US. Having trouble keeping it straight? That's not surprising. The comparisons between plug-in and gasoline vehicles are much more nuanced than the loudest voices usually let on.
