1957 Chevrolet BelAir 4 Door SURVIVOR!! VIN shows this is a factory V8 model Bel Air. This is a project I am selling because of my inability to finish. It has taken a great deal of time to get it to this point. Everything is bone stock 1957 Bel Air except the following items have been changed: It is currently setup with a 1982 LM1 Chevrolet Small Block 350 with 4 bolt mains. Someone 'procured' the Offenhauser Hi-Rise intake and 750 Holley double pump carb while those parts were being stored. Heads have been ported. This can easily be seen with the intake now gone. Storage debris has landed in the lifter valley area and would need cleaning before going further. Engine has been setup in place utilizing the original 1957 stock Chevrolet twin point mounts at the front of the engine block. 4 Speed Transmission is all setup with mounts, bell housing, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate fully installed. Driveshaft is installed in car as well. Dual exhaust is under car but not hooked up to the engine. Master cylinder and power brake booster bolted to firewall. Heavy duty cross flow radiator installed but not yet fully mounted. Close, but not finished. EVERYTHING else is stock 1957 factory correct Chevrolet Bel Air. Dash is not chopped up, stock steering wheel with unbroken horn ring, stock instruments with 110,000 miles showing. Car has NEVER been repainted and sports the original Ivory White over Turquoise paint. There is rust through in several places throughout (see pictures) but certainly not requiring giant patch panels to replace with the possible exception of the passenger front fender back lower section. Car has NEVER HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT. This car has had only ONE REGISTERED OWNER it's entire life and that was the woman that owned it until her death in 1988. Furthermore, this car has only resided in Oregon since new and we do NOT salt the roads in the winter here so you do not see as much rust and corrosion in the body and on the frame as you might in many other states that do salt the roads. Most rust you see is surface only. Missing grille, hood latch and rear trunk lock. Hood and deck lid will be held in place by bungee cord for safe shipping. Seats were rotted from sun damage and were tossed but I saved some of the parts from them and these remaining parts are in the car now (see pictures). Headliner is removed but all bow pieces are in car as well. Any trim you see missing on the outside of the car is sitting in the car (see pictures). Both the i.d. plate on the firewall and vin plate on driver's door post are present and neither has ever been tampered with. Car is sold with bill of sale only. Titles are available on line. That is buyer's responsibility after purchase. Car is sold as is, just the way it is presented within the 24 pictures provided. Nothing is being held back or glossed over. What you see is what you get. $500 down payment must be paid within 48 hours of close of sale. Balance must be paid within 7 days of close of sale. I will store for up to 30 days for free to assist with buyer arranging adequate shipping and will assist in any way I can with the actual loading of the vehicle for transport after sale.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

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 investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
