1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door post

The pictures say it all. This is a Northwest car that was sitting in dry storage for over 20 years.

Body and Chassis

Body is straight as an arrow. It has a fresh coat of black epoxy primer to prevent rust. The pictures of it in red coming out of the trailer were taken just last month, and you can see how straight it was then. The frame still looks solid, and the normal trouble spots were either addressed years ago or they are just remarkably well-preserved. I have most of the chrome, most of which is in really good condition. There are some minor rust issues near the door sills/pans (which look as if they have been repaired at some point), but in general, this is a super solid car that will make for a for a quick restoration.  I have all the glass for the car except the windshield and driver's glass.  That includes three vent windows (pics).  The glass is in good condition as well as most of the chrome trim.

 Engine and Transmission

It's exactly as it is in the pics - painted and super clean. It still has the dust from being in storage for all those years. Previous owner pulled this running, warmed-over 327 with a 4 speed tranny out of a 1966 Impala and dropped it in here (with new motor mounts). This 327 has an Edelbrock 4v intake and Edelbrock carb and already looks like its ready to show.. Check out the camel hump heads with matching paint in the finned aluminum valve covers. It still turns freely and has the drive shaft already installed. Save the money. If I put a few hours into this and had a runner/driver, the reserve price would be higher.

Interior

Not much to say here. If you're looking for old school original, this is it. Front seat has upholstery. The rear seat bottom is rough and it has the rear back frame.

Why buy it?

I NEED room in my shop and something has to go. This is the easiest, most complete project I have, so here you go. It's an easy build with a great head start. I was looking forward to building this tri-five. It's so complete, you should be driving it THIS summer. If you've always wanted that 57 Belair as your dream car, but didn't want to mess with exterior body work or rebuilding an engine/transmission, this is the car for you.

Terms and Conditions. Please note that all sales are binding and final. Cars are sold "as-is, where-is" with no warranty expressed or implied. Please carefully read the terms & conditions of the sale before bidding. Winning this auction does not entitle you to come inspect the car and decide if you want to buy it, but obligates you to complete the purchase! If you want to arrange for an inspection during the auction, I can recommend local professionals who will do so for a fee. All vehicles sold are either my personal property, or I may act as an agent for a personal friend, who has explicitly asked to have the vehicle listed and granted me the necessary POA to do so and complete the sale. Vehicle has a clear title. A $500.00 deposit via PayPal is due within 24 hours of the auction close ... NO EXCEPTIONS. At that point I have invested time in receiving bids, I will post negative feedback for non-payers. Coordinate directly with me for payment of the remaining balance. Selling price will determine which method I prefer. The vehicle MUST be shipped within seven (7) days of the conclusion of the auction. After that, I will have the option of terminating the sale at the forfeit of the deposit, unless you coordinate directly with me for additional storage. A storage fee of $25 per day then applies. Shipping is the exclusive responsibility of the buyer. Vehicles may be picked up with 24 hours prior notification during business hours and 10-3 on Saturdays. I strongly recommend professional shippers who use enclosed trailers. If you have ZERO feedback on eBay, you MUST call or message me to request authority to bid on a vehicle. I will cancel bids made without authorization. I do not release my reserve price, as this would be unfair to the other bidders, so please don't ask! Because I advertise elsewhere, I reserve the right to cancel any eBay listing at any time.

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore

Thu, Mar 12 2015

General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.
