1962 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe Aka Bubbletop 327 Automatic on 2040-cars
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
|
1962 BelAir Bubbletop Sport Coupe. Authentic and all there. Just at the junction in time to do a restoration right the way the buyer feels fit.....or drive it Rat as I have. This is a pretty straight survivor, an original V8 equipped automatic transmission car. 327 with 3 speed auto.The car runs and drives. I take it out from time to time. We have owned this car for 4 years and have kept it in storage inside at all times never left outside once. It was a barn find in Illinois. We bought it and had it "new car" carried here. It has a 1986 L-82 Corvette aluminum manifold with a new Edlebrock carburetor and air cleaner which were there when we bought it. Otherwise all stock except for the exhaust (as far as I know). The 327 runs pretty beefy for stock so I suspect a cam change. Nice idle. I don't know if the engine has been worked but it is very very clean inside. All fluids are clear and the right color. Good power steering and battery. This car has never been offered for sale by us. White exterior (Ermine white) Aqua interior (Both factory colors). Most of the interior panels are present mostly intact but worn . Front and back seats need recovering. Any trim missing, panels, etc are included and carefully stored. I have removed the interior and outer trim to begin the chemical paint removal process. Screws are in baggies marked. The top has no dents and the body has very few. There is a dent in the drivers side front fender by the bumper. The rest of the car is straight and workable as is. No replacement panels and minimum bondo. There is rust and it will need to be addressed. Areas will need to be replaced. It is well worth the effort remember I bought it no regrets. California style one piece bumpers came on this car from the factory. It has a 3 piece on the front now. The original front bumper was stolen before we bought it and we have a replacement to go with as well as the mounts. Both bumpers will be included, the one presently on the car and the one piece replacement we bought. The windshield has been replaced (it was cracked). We bought 1962 6" station wagon wheels for it which are on the car. 409 offset add ons. The American Racing (centerline style) wheels it came with are here if you want them with car as are the fender skirts. There is a picture near the end showing the car the way we got it. Radio and lighter delete. Power seat.Power steering. All glass present. Needs headliner and carpet. Just about everything works but the left rear directional..bad ground? That being the horn, all headlights and tailights ,dash lights,power seat windshield wipers all work..the gas gauge is squirrelly though and reads full when it isn't Had a new tank and straps and I haven't pulled it to troubleshoot.. This was my project car for retirement. I intended to keep it so I have treated it well. The car is drive-able and fully functional as is and has been registered each year with no taxes due. It currently has no insurance because my insurance company cancels it. It has shorty bullet glass packs and no pipes just mufflers. It runs pretty good but a 409 would do it justice. It needs restoration and has rust especially in the side pockets and rear lower quarters. The hood and trunk lid are eaten through at the very front and back There are a few holes here and there but all is repairable. The corner under the left tailight is rusted out completely The trunk has rust deterioration poking through at the very front inside. about a 1/2 inch. I have a trunk cut from an original car as well as a left rear quarter from an original car. I have had body guys look at this and they told me it wasn't that bad, it looks worse than it is. There are also extra parts just in case. I removed the interior 2 weeks ago and it is all in boxes neatly identified as is the outer body trim. This is an ideal 409 project car as it is originally a V8 build. I don't think the rear is a posi trac as I see no P. I don't know the ratio. There is a lot more invested and I am trying to be as thorough as space allows without going on and on. I have changed direction in how I want to invest in our future. This was to be my retirement project until this week. I love this car. This is a tough decision, and no this is not a sales tactic this is tough. I am not bailing on this because of anything I found or the work involved or being short on cash or because we're in a bind. I have other opportunities presented to me this week out of the blue that I have chosen to pursue. It will require a substantial investment, more than we have on hand so I need the capital soon. I am listing this opening price and it is already less than invested. I will not accept less so please don't offer I will say no. I don't want to hear your reasons why either. I will only list this once for 7 days. This is a one shot deal and as close as I have ever gotten to selling it. I have never even entertained the thought. If this auction runs out without a bid then I will not see it as priced too high because it isn't. That means I won't re-list for less I know how eBay works having been a Top Seller for 5 years. No re-list for less this time so don't hold your breath. I will take it as a sign I am to keep it and restore it. This is how I will decide what I am to do. If it doesn't sell this listing I will restore and keep it and not pursue the before mentioned deal and let it go. The opening bid is $2500 less than I bought the car for with windshield wheels and transport added it's more. I also bought the California bumper for the front and the extra stuff. So price is not negotiable. Already got a guy on the line that has broken most of these rules below I am ready to block. On that note: Let's deal with attitude. No pros that love to humiliate buyers (I know you're out there) Don't talk me down and run me ragged. I have a life too and my time is just as important to me. No bullies or cons, period. I am a good guy and this is a real deal and not your play hole. I will block you and there will be no further discussion concerning the car.Play nice. I need a real buyer with cash that plays ZERO games such as "after the sale BS fault finding" to lower the price. or "cut me a better deal" people before the auction ends or when you get here to pick up the car "put you on the spot" types. I know you traveled a long way but no I will not pay your expenses if you are disappointed and no I will not cut you a better deal afterwards because it's not what you were looking for. It never is what you were expecting for you guys and I'm not playing your stupid game. I try to be straight up with everyone and if you can't help but feel like you had to screw me to pat yourself on the back stay far far away. I will not tolerate any behavior that is not respectful,straight foward and honest. You shove you will leave here empty handed....I promise. I don't care how many $20's you wave under my nose Now as for the rest of you good people that are left ( I know you're out there too). You're the guy I hope buys this car, somebody that deserves it: There are a number of people that have expressed interest in purchasing this car. But then there always are.....every time I drive it. Most are still dreaming, I would prefer you come here and get the car with your own trailer or flatbed personally. I would like to meet you and shake your hand and I would prefer real cash on the barrel head. That's what I would prefer anyway.That may not be realistic. Transport is your responsibility entirely. Whatever works for you. Cash or USPS Money Orders are preferred but by whatever payment method it must clear our bank first before I will release title We have a local bank that is old school and they wait two weeks sometimes to clear checks. Truth. There are no hidden problems or mechanical problems and the car has been babied since we got it. I have had a bunch of off eBay offers already. We will run the auction to the end. Highest bidder will win it. If you don't bid and wait till after it is not for sale as I explained in my description above. I mean it. No trades or partial trades. If you want this car bid, I will not do anything with you if you don't. This is an amazing find for the right person, a real reward in life. That's how I see it and that's how it is. Respect that fact we'll get along fine. Everything I have stated is true and to the best of my ability I have been forthright. I have faithfully maintained my ownership and offer this to you, the next guy. Good Luck! |

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment
Fri, Jun 17 2016Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.
