1958 Chevrolet Bel Air
Sport Coupe (2-door hardtop)
This is a nice Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop. It is powered by a Chevy 350 cu. in. V-8 with an Edelbrock four barrel carburetor and intake manifold. The transmission is a stock 3 speed manual with column shift; the clutch is good and tight.
The interior is custom brown naugahyde with tan herringbone cloth inserts and the original upholstery trim. It rides on BF Goodrich TA radials and Cragar wheels. It is a GREAT driver! I've drive it from Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula all the way to Sacramento, California without a bit of trouble, and it was a smooth ride.
I bought this car about eight years ago on eBay - sight unseen. It was a littler rougher than it looked in the pictures. Since then, I've done and had a lot of work done over the years to make it as nice as it is now. Here is a list:
- The floor pans and trunk had some rust, which I ground down, painted with POR 13 and patched with fiberglasss. It was not so bad that I considered it necessary to remove and replace with patch panels.
- I've had some mechanical improvements done including replacing the cam and lifters, replacing both front and rear coil springs, installed rear air-shocks, replaced the gas tank, installed a new electric fuel pump, installed a new heater core and had the heater control valve rebuilt, and had a new exhaust system with glass pack mufflers installed. I also installed a new under dash wiring loom and fuse box.
- With the exception of the upholstery, I have completely gone through the interior including having the dash and interior trim repainted to match the Bronze paint color, replaced all window and door handles, installed new dash trim/bezels/glove box/door threshold, replaced the firewall pad and kick panels, installed a new carpet kit and sound insulation over the floorboards, replaced the trunk mat and panels, and installed a new made to fit AM/FM radio with a split front stereo speaker in the dash which is set up for iPod on the auziliary band.
- I replaced the wind wing and side door glass and frames, and replaced the rubber windshield and rear window seals.
I've seen two other '58 Chevy Sport Coupes for sale in the last year or so that look just like my car including paint color, tires, and rims; they're both frame-off restorations and the owners were seeking $50,000+/-. I also saw one recently that is a project car and the owner has a "buy it now" price of $13,850. My car is very well "buy it now" priced at $16,500. It is not a high-dollar show car for the following reasons:
- The exterior paint job looks great from 10+ feet away, but whoever painted it didn't put enough time and energy preparing the car for painting. The panels are not laser straight and some sanding swirls are noticeable on the trunk lid around the lock.
- Some of the stainless trim is dented.
- I failed to replace the front windshield when I had the rubber replaced, and some hazing is noticable around the edges. Also, I have not been able to find new rear quarter window glass with frames; the frames are pitted.
- I bought and improved the car to be a good looking "driver".
So, you are bidding on a reasonably priced, good looking, and reliable 1958 Chevy Sport Coupe. I've had a lot of fun with it, but I have a couple of other toy cars and I'm too busy as a self-employed person to drive all three of them.
If you have questions, I can be reached at (360) 504-2440. If you have the time and interest, come see the car in Sequim, Washington. Once the auction has ended, the down payment of $1,000 is due through PayPal within 48 hours. The balance must be received in verified funds, cash or wire transfer, within 7 days and prior to my releasing the vehicle. The successful bidder can fly into Seattle, Washington and drive this car home! Shipping is an alternative; I am not offering shipping on this vehicle. However, I will work with the winning bidder's shipper. My zip code is 98382 if you want to obtain shipping quotes.
Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
