1966 Belair Solid Original Oklahoma 2dr Post Small Block/manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
I hate to let this car go but I'm chasing something even better, so its up for auction. This is a great 66 Bel Air 2 dr post. Excellent frame, floors, trunk...It has some rust in the lower rear quarters but otherwise is a great project car. I was assembling parts to make it a 396/4 speed car but plans changed. It started life as a 6 cylinder car in Oklahoma, and at some point the motor was replaced with a 307? (DO suffix code) 2bbl engine years ago. Motor runs great - starts easy and is super smooth. Carb needs an accelerator pump - hesitates on take off. New exhaust just installed. Trans is a column shifted Saginaw HD 3 speed. Color is the original teal metallic with teal interior. Runs and drives ok but I haven't put many miles on it lately. Manual drum brakes feel good, manual steering is tight. Lights work. Needs heater core and fuel sender. Not sure if its ready to be a daily driver but its close. Interior is fair - previous owner removed carpet and applied rustoleum to the front floors. Seats and door panels have wear as shown. Odometer shows 67k miles. Windshield was replaced a couple years ago. Exterior has had a repaint years ago and has some fading and flaking. There are several dings on the hood and trunk. Hood has a rust pinhole on the front edge but otherwise is solid, trunk lid has some bubbling in one corner. Core support is excellent except for some minor rust around one mount. Needs a battery tray. Rockers and floors are excellent. Nice trim, grille and bumpers. Everything under the car is covered in Oklahoma dust and flaky factory undercoating. Please see all 50+ photos for details. Clear Oklahoma title in hand. I have a pair of full quarter skins available to the buyer for an extra $200, and if the car sells I'll be listing the 402 and rebuilt muncie I had saved for this car, as well as '66 specific parts like oil pan, big block manifolds, shifter, etc. The car comes with a set of dog dish hubcaps as shown below, and also a new set of brake/clutch pedal pads. Located in the eastern side of Cincinnati, Ohio, zip 45206. The car is seriously for sale and I welcome appointments to view it. Price is somewhat flexible but I have over $4000 in the car and don't want to lose my shirt. International bids welcome. Thanks for looking! cut and paste this link into youtube to see the engine running http://youtu.be/owrVTHdYH44

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro
Wed, Dec 3 2014Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.
