1963 Chevrolet  Bel Air Wagon Barn Find!

 

Below is a list of the equipment on the car:

 

  • 283 V8 2bbl

 

  • Powerglide Automatic Transmission

 

  • AM Radio.

 

  • Weld Drag Lite Wheels.

 

  • 6 Passenger 2 seat Wagon.

 

 

This car was pulled earlier this year from the same spot in Montana where it had sat since it was last registered in 1979 (the license plates showed a 1980 expiration) . It comes with the original owners manual and protection plan and some paper work from previous owners. It was sold new in Missoula MT (has dealer emblem on tailgate that matches the original paperwork.)  I am the third owner. The last owner bought it in 1976.

My intention was to restore it but I have other projects and would rather it go to someone that will take it to the next level. It would be a great candidate to swap in a built motor.

 

 Condition wise the car has rust the bottoms of the front fenders, spare tire well,  the doors have some rust on the driver’s bottom corner as well as a spot ahead of the rear wheel on the drivers side. The frame and floors appear to be very clean other than the one small (nickel size) hole on the passenger side and a spot at the end of the drivers and passengers side floor brace. There are some dents on the driver’s side doors and the rear corner on the driver’s side has small hole in the rear corner where it was pulled on. There is a soft dent on the rear quarter on the passenger side. The paint is weathered with some patina. The chrome bumpers and stainless trim are in nice shape and free of pitting. The interior has a cracks in the dash and the front seat has a cover as its not in good shape the back seat is in good shape except for the top corner, the door panels also show some wear. the headliner is in very nice shape with one small inch long tear. The windshield is cracked but the rest of the glass is in nice condition. The one rear bumper corner is bent but I have another one that goes with the car. Some of the side trim is missing you can see the clips still on the car in the pictures. All the doors and windows operate freely including the tailgate.  It has a new master cylinder, new NOS tail light lenses and wheels and tires. The wheels are 15 inch Weld drag lites, the tires have 85-90% of their tread and are in very good condition with hardly any use . I also have all 5 of the original 14x6 Wagon/409 specific wheels if someone is interested to buy them separately. The car is very original. It runs and drives (engine actually idles quietly) but, the engine smokes. I have driven it a few miles and it steers straight and drives well. The transmission shifts well through the gears. But, It should not be driven more than a few miles because the engine smokes and before having the rest of the brake system checked. 

It has a current title and registration.

Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
