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!

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
