I am selling my project car that I have had for nearly 5 years because I have finally given up on the dream of getting it finished.  My original intentions were to strip it down and make a drag car out of it, but $$$ got to be a little too much for me. I have lost interest in this project and would like to see someone with the desire to get it back on the road have a chance.

Here are the details:

1966 Chevrolet Bel Air (Biscayne/Impala) 2 door

350 V8/TH350 Auto - Engine is out of a 1980 Chevy truck that had very low miles. Has a mild cam, Performer intake, and Edelbrock 750 carb. Has headers, but NO exhaust. Trans works good (when last driven) and has a shift kit.  Car has a 12 bolt rear. Also has newer tires on the front and completely bald tires on the rear (275/60/15). Wheels are GM ralleys. Car has an awesome stance and looks great. Note: The mileage listed in the description is a guess because Ebay required you to put something.  The odometer reads 24000 but actual miles are unknown.

The interior leaves a little to be desired.  It is all there, but it is all in rough shape.  Seats need recovered, headliner needs replaced, door panels look a little rough, etc..

The body appears to be in good shape, as does the paint.  There are a few dings as you can see in the pictures:                                                                                                                        1. the front valance in front of the hood has a scratch with missing paint.                                                                                                                                                                                 2. on the driver's side rear quarter panel, there is a spot where the paint is cracked from something hitting it that was in the trunk                                                                                        3. on the trunk lid there is what looks like a ding from a bullet???

All of these things were there when I purchased the car.  The trunk appears to be in good shape, as do the floorboards (the photo shows rust, but it looks like surface rust only on the drivers side). 

The car needs a starter and a battery to run, and needs a serious tune-up to run good.  I believe the valves need to be reset as this motor has not even been broken in since the cam was installed.  I am honestly just completely burnt out on cars and have no interest in fixing these simple things.

This would make the perfect project car for someone.  It would probably take too much to make a show car (my opinion) but would make an excellent driver/drag car/resto-mod. Much cheaper than a Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, Corvette, etc.

There are a couple things that will be included with the car: 1. I have a brand new trunk seal for it as the one on it needs replaced. 2. a large aftermarket front sway bar (not sure of brand, might be Hotchkiss???). I removed this as I was trying to make the front end lighter for racing.

I do have a pair of Moser axles for this car that I am listing separately, but will sell to the buyer of the car if you want them. 

I know I am forgetting things so please ask if you have questions. 

All Sales are Final and everything is being SOLD AS IS.  Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding.  It is up to the BUYER to arrange for pick up or shipping.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

Super Bowl LVII car commercial roundup: Watch them all here

Mon, Feb 13 2023

Fewer automakers than usual spent money advertising during Super Bowl LVII. In total, there were only five traditional ad spots from three big OEMs. A number of car-adjacent ads aired during the Big Game, too, and we’ll bring you those ads in this roundup alongside the more obvious ones. WeÂ’ve compiled all of the automotive-related commercials for you here in this post so you donÂ’t have to go searching for them elsewhere. Read on below to see what aired as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrification' This commercial revealed the new electric Ram Rev pickup, and itÂ’s themed like a prescription ad for an antidote to "Premature Electrification.” A concerned narrator in the Ram spot asks if you're afraid that going electric too soon will mean "you might not be able to last as long as you like," and there's a guy on a pier who's going to need some new equipment if he wants to catch fish. We're also told there are "options being designed to extend range in satisfying ways," so if this truck isn't right for you, you have choices. All the commercial's missing is a silly medical marketing name and six seconds of speed-reading gibberish about side effects like intestinal bleeding and death. Which are two more good things. Jeep 4xe Super Bowl commercial highlights modern version of 'Electric Boogie' JeepÂ’s “Electric Boogie” commercial follows the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe in a variety of simulated off-road situations. Though fun, the soundtrack is the real star of the show. The songÂ’s original artist, Marcia Griffiths, was joined by Grammy winner Shaggy, Jamila Falak, Amber Lee, and Moyann on the track. The modernized re-recording celebrates 40 years since GriffithsÂ’ original track, and Jeep says the track is available for streaming now. Kia returns to the Super Bowl with the tale of 'Binky Dad' This year, Kia follows the adventure of "Binky Dad" in his quest to fetch his daughter's lost pacifier, which naturally takes him over just about every bit of terrain you might encounter upon leaving the civilized confines of Southern California for the not-so-civilized mountains of ... probably also California. It features the refreshed 2023 Kia Telluride, which probably doesnÂ’t need much advertising to see these days, but Kia went for it with the strong three-row SUV anyway.
