1960 Chevrolet Bel Air Belair Chevy Original Survivor Impala Un-restored on 2040-cars
Gloversville, New York, United States
|
Here is an absolutely incredible car! This is a 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door sedan. It has 103,000 original miles, but in my opinion, it would actually pass for less than half that many! This Original Survivor is an unbelievable time capsule! I acquired it from the second owner, who had owned it nearly 50 years! Car has always been pampered, garaged, and never driven in snow or ice. All original body panels, floors, etc. This is not rusted out or full of a bunch of bondo. Body is nice and straight. Clean and nice underneath too, not scaly or rusty like many you see. Ready to drive or take to cruise ins or shows. Like any used original car this age, there are a few minor nicks and dings, but this one still makes a super appearance. In my opinion, it is much better than most original cars I have seen from this era! Very striking in red and white with tri-tone gray and black deluxe cloth interior, this sharp Bel Air is equipped as follows: 1. "Blue Flame" 6 Cylinder 235 cubic inch engine 2. 2 speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission. 3. Deluxe push button AM radio (not working) 5. Deluxe heater and defroster 6 Optional 2 tone paint 7. Deluxe 2 speed wipers This beautiful Chevy is an un-restored original Survivor and looks great! Nice and shiny, not faded or oxidized. Chrome and bright work are also all original (NOT reproduction) and are bright and shiny. This is one of the more original cars I have seen in awhile. Still looks great under the hood and in the trunk! Underside of car is also nice and clean. The interior is really nice and all original. No cracks or tears in door panels or arm rests. Tri-tone upholstery on seats looks great! As you would imagine, this car hits the road just fine The engine and transmission are smooth with no issues that I can see. Second owner had engine rebuilt and transmission serviced and re-sealed about 20,000 miles ago. Only thing that doesn't work is AM radio. Only other minor thing is that sometimes you have to "jiggle" the wiper switch to get them to come on. Probably just dirty contacts. I drove it on a 225 mile trip recently with no problems at all. Handles and holds the road great! Fun car to drive and gets lots of attention! Car has 5 white wall radial tires with very good tread. Brakes work well, and car drives and stops in a straight line. Even the parking brake still works! Only deviation from original that I see is that 2nd owner had an after-market muffler and chrome exhaust tip installed. Rest of exhaust appears stock from what I can see. This is one of the nicest, well cared for original late 50s to early 60s Chevrolets I have seen in quite awhile. Yes, before you moan and groan that it is a 4 door, I wish it was a 2 door too! However, I would much rather have a virgin, un-molested, honest 4 door than a thrown together 2 door for much more money that is full of rust and bondo! Great car for Survivor class at car shows or vintage car tours. Here is a great chance to get a 50s styled Chevy with big fins and lots of chrome that you can use right away and have fun at a very reasonable price! Room for the whole family! Remember, they are only original once!

This is proof of ownership of all vehicles this model year. This will be reassigned to the new owner. I am sorry for all the rules, but it seems that 5% of difficult people spoil it for the 95% who are good. Thanks very much for l NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! NO RESERVE! ABOUT ME: I have been a collector and enthusiast of Postwar American cars for nearly 40 years! I maintain a "rotating collection" of 6 to 10 such vehicles. Sometimes I sell one out of the collection to make way for a new arrival. I favor un-restored original "Survivor" cars from the late 1950s to mid 1970s. |

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
