1957 Chevy Belair Wagon

Heres a chance to buy a nice original Tri 5 Wagon thats been off the road
here in AZ for many many years, just aching to be someones next project !
Sure its not a Nomad, but thats great because its more affordable AND
easier to get the family In and Out of the car on cruze nights with 2 extra doors !
1957 is still the best looking yr wagon GM built , until 59 :)
THIS ONE with NO RESERVE

OBVIOUSLY THIS CAR NEEDS A FULL RESTORATION FRONT TO REAR
BUT I WILL TRY TO DETAIL OUT SOME INFO THAT CANT BE SEEN IN
THE PICS BELOW.

This car was owned by Copper Electric out of Bisbee AZ for as long as we
can track it prior to us acquiring it a few weeks ago. Seeing the cars past
has been in AZ probably its whole life, it is a low rust vehicle compared to
most its age, but no one ever removed the plastic floormats over the yrs
so the lower parts of the floorboards did get rust from the inside out mostly.
It has some rust in a few other areas, but its still far much cleaner then most
out there. The OTHER thing is the car appears to still be wearing whats left
of its original paint on all the original sheetmetal. Looking all over the car I
didnt see any signs of previous repairs or overspray or repaint.
For alot of restorers and builders who know what they want, thats a big
thing for them.
LUCKILY Im pretty sure just about every part needed for this car is now available
making restoration easier by just having to pick up the phone and order what
you need.
IF you look closely though, you will see there are alot of loose parts that are
not shown ON the car but look to be INSIDE in various areas.
SORRY for not prepping this car and at least trying to clean it out as much as
possible prior to listing it, but under the circumstances this week I didnt have
the time or facility to do so this week. Im going to try to clean it out by the
weekend and itemize whats there and toss all the trash out if I can and update
the pics by Monday nite. (so keep checking back for updates..)
As for glass on this car, I think the only 2 PIECES NOT broke are 1 of the vent wing
windows and the very back. Side Doors all open and close fine and dash looks
to be uncut around the radio.

OUR 100% feedback speaks for itself
and many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this past
year here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it much
easier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence.
NOT MANY OF THESE CARS WHERE MADE BACK IN THE DAY and we all know
NOT MANY ARE EVEN LEFT ON THE ROAD ANYMORE.

DRIVETRAIN: no motor or trans BUT at least this car was originally
A V8 car with what I think may of been a 3 on the Tree. Build it
anyway you want, and if you do it right youll never lose a dime on
it when it comes to reselling it. REAREND looks to be original.
Car rolls and steers making shipping a little easier. 3 tires hold air
for a bit, 1 tire is beat. I can try to get it so all 4 tires hold air
long enough for shipping still on the stock rims.

INTERIOR: obviously needs a total restoration, but looks complete
and all the main stuff there. Seats, dash, glove box etc.
Some misc small stuff like handles are missing. Spare tire well
is very dry and rust free too.

EXTERIOR: body for the most part, really straight, but there
is a dent by the LR 1/4, mild rust on the rockers. Hood is not
currently bolted down. Some side trim is missing, but there
are some loose pieces in the car. Front bumper and grill are
missing.

SUSPENSION: basically all stock and original and probably
very worn out and ready for a nice Resto Mod restoration.
Rear shocks almost look to be original haha.

This car is not your typical 90% rust free Arizona car but it is
a car that needs some rust repair and still better then one sitting
near the coast or in the rust belt.

These cars rarely even come up for sale in this condition, which is
affordable to almost anyone wanting a project wagon.
Check out ALL the pics below ----->

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.

Heres a great chance to buy the RESTO MOD WAGON
CANDIDATE youve been wanting.
A well kept car, marketed well for all ebay bidders and buyers
Being sold by us, a seller with excellent feedback and history
With ebay and buyers. What more could you ask for ? :)

There you have it, probably The BEST represented Belair Wagons on Ebay.
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.

This is NOT the most rust free car Ive sold but still better then most
Ive seen for sale here on Ebay over the last month or so.

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.

Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know
exactly what you have in the end.

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles
youll never buy a total buckets again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.
Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you.
With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue

Sun, Jan 4 2015

General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
