1964 Chevy Bel Air 2 door Bought this car a few months ago to build myself a summer cruiser. The original 283 was old and tired so it was replaced with a rebuilt late 70's 350 with 4 bolt main. I went through the motor including new gaskets from oil pan to carb. New freeze plugs. I put on original set of ram horn exhaust manifolds as well. Dressed up in finned aluminum and painted red. The whole engine compartment was sanded and painted flat black prior to installing engine. I also put on CPP disc brake kit in front including new master cylinder, stainless steel flex lines and 8" dual power booster. Car stops on a dime! (Drum in rear have new pads and hardware too) Originally had 3 speed on the tree. The tranny was shot so I bought a completely rebuilt 3 speed saginaw & installed a new gm repop chrome tilt column & moved shifter to the floor. I found original hurst competition shifter for it, shifts very smooth. Tranny was out of 76 gm truck, first gear is synchronized.
List of parts, some new: ($5,000 in receipts)
SBC 350 4 bolt main - extremely clean inside, have pictures to show, runs 195-210 all day.
Rebuilt 3 speed Saginaw
New center driveshaft bearing
New black carpet, 66 GTO black seat belts
New Taylor 8.2mm wires, plugs, HEI cap
Rochester Quadrajet works awesome, no sputtering, no coughing, no rough idle, no smoke, no vacuum issues. Fires right up.
New fuel, oil filters, polished aluminum overflow tank, new fluids front to back of car. Redline in tranny, Castrol GT oil in 350 and Castrol gear oil
New Die Hard battery, new starter
New gaskets- oil pan 1 piece blue, fuel pump, water pump, valve cover, carb...
All the pulleys, brackets, intake, fan shroud were taking off and sandblasted, them painted red or black. While radiator was out , whole radiator support was sanded & painted flat black.
Recently recovered black front split bench with folding arm rest. Back bench is very clean except for sun damage on just the top 6" inches.
New Boss 338 wheels and tires 17" in front 18" in back. Crosswind tires are 225/45/17 up front 245/40/18 in back, brand new probably 200 miles on them.
New slotted and drilled rotors up front, new master, prop valve, booster & fresh hard lines.
New chrome TILT column -floor shift
Original hurst competition floor shifter
Repainted dash and kick panels black, has impala glove box. (only difference is the chrome trim piece)
New Viper door popper kit professionally installed by Custom Car Alarms, it has shaved door handles and trunk. Driver and trunk use key fob passenger door has hidden switch. There is also a hidden manual cable release tucked away in case the battery dies, you always have a way in. Whoever buys the car will be told the location. 2 key fobs.
New 3 gauge pod, water, oil pressure and voltmeter works, fuel gauge works.
New front sway bar links
New complete exhaust system including glass packs and turn downs under the back seat, sounds ridiculously good. Was going for that 60's vibe. Exhaust is tucked up against the x frame and if you look at the car from the side you can't see anything! Less is more sometimes.
New chrome armrest bases and pads
Frame is painted flat black. All fittings are greased(steering, suspension and u joints)
KYB shocks all around.
Manual steering
Heater works
Alpine CD player, one speaker in dash. nothing cut or hacked up, just very simple.
New black headliner in box made by PUI included, all bows are too.
Original black plates and fully registered and insured. (pic shows old whites but they now have correct DMV YOM 2 black plates)
New inner & outer tie rods, hardware, & sleeves.
It runs very well, could easily be daily driver. I built this to keep for myself so I kind of spent a lot of money trying to make it very reliable and fun. I just have too many cars so I have to let this one go. It needs very little to be "done" like hooking up speedometer(cable is there, just hook up at tranny), blinkers both light up at same time so I assume a wire is not grounding or something fairly simple. Lights work, high and low beam, wipers work, horn doesn't, dummy lights aren't Hooked up because I used the more accurate 3 gauge pod, brake lights work fine.
No rust in the floors or back window, package tray -which still has original paint. Never cut, lowered, or hacked up either. I had to put in a hole for the new floor shifter of course, but that's done right too. The floors & trunk were cleaned and POR-15 solvent prepped and painted with etching primer. The trunk is 99% rust free, its unusually clean. New drain plugs and seam seal as well.
Car is a blast to drive and somebody will really enjoy it. It is for sale locally, unfortunately I might have to end the auction soon so good luck bidding if you like it.
Quick video of underneath the car, it's pretty clean.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
