Broken vent window but I have replacement glass."

Up for auction is my 57 Chevy Belair Sport Coupe. This car is best described as a Sunday driver.


Lets begin with the body, All of the panels are rust free and straight with the exception of some minor bubbling in the paint in the lower front pass. door and the lower trunk, you would not notice if they were not pointed out. The body is solid as a rock!

Paint is shiny and very presentable, has a few scratches but overall very nice. The frame floors, rockers, body supports and trunk are really nice there was some very minor patch work done some years ago but no complete panel replacement, the car did not require extensive repair.
The chrome is very nice with the exception of the front bumper. The bumper is straight but the chrome is not good. The rear bumper, tail lights, headlight doors and front grille bar,have all been replaced and are in excellent condition.
The stainless trim is all intact and although not perfect is very presentable.

The interior was done at some point and is in very nice condition. It is black vinyl ,with old school diamond tuck and roll inserts, new door panels and carpets were installed as well.
The heater controls and vent controls were recently restored and all is working well.
All  of the lights work as well as the speedometer and fuel,gauge. (The fuel gauge is inaccurate due to a dent in the fueltank, but it still works and runs out at one half. Tank does not leak.) There are gauges mounted under the dash for , battery, temp, and oil,pressure, and all operate as expected.
All of the glass is good except for a crack in the passenger vent window, I have a replacement.

Under the hood is a newer 350/300 crate motor, with polished aluminum intake new ebelbrock carb. HEI distributor. The engine has about 4000 miles on it. The transmission is a completely rebuilt Turbo350 with a mild shift kit and new torque converter.
There are new stainless headers and new dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. ( This sounds awesome).

This car is a blast to drive and is done mechanically. Looks awesome make it perfect or drive as is.
I am selling the car with the wide whites and factory hubcaps. If you want the Billet Specialties wheels and BFG's add $1,500.00 to the final bid and I will include both sets.

This vehicle is being sold AS IS, WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. I encourage bidders to come and see the vehicle or have it inspected by their representative.
My feedback is and has always been 100 percent because I go put of my way to be as accurate with my descriptions as possible. I note the most minor flaws and there are no surprises when you get your vehicle. Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in storage to accommodate the sale. Again this must be agreed prior to bidding.

PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU PLAN TO BUY!
$1,000.00 Non refundable deposit required within 48 hours of auction end, balance due within 10 days unless other arrangements are agreed PRIOR TO BIDDING.

GM and Isuzu to partner for medium-duty commercial truck

Tue, Jun 16 2015

General Motors is returning to the medium-duty truck business in the US for the first time since 2009 thanks to a new deal with longtime-partner Isuzu. The arrangement brings the Isuzu N-series models to Chevrolet dealers with the Bowtie's branding on them in 2016. There are six medium-duty Chevy models arriving at dealers in regular cab and crew cab bodies: the 3500, 3500HD, 4500, 4500HD, 5500, and 5500HD. The trucks will be sold as a bare chassis for buyers to outfit to their needs. Depending on model, customers will have the choice of an Isuzu-sourced 3.0-liter and 5.2-liter diesel engines or a 6.0-liter V8 gasoline-fueled engine from GM and six-speed gearbox. According to company spokesperson Bob Wheeler to Autoblog, the diesel models will be built in Japan and the rest assembled from knockdown kits in Charlotte, MI. This kind of vehicle sharing isn't uncommon for GM in the commercial segment, and it already partners with Nissan to use the Japanese brand's NV200 as the City Express van. The General also once owned a significant stake in Isuzu, and the two have remained collaborators even since then. Isuzu and GM Enter Commercial Vehicle Collaboration Agreement in the U.S. 2015-06-15 DETROIT and FUJISAWA, Japan – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) and Isuzu Motors (TSE 7202) have reached an agreement on a U.S. commercial vehicle collaboration, allowing Isuzu to strengthen its product lineup and GM to expand its commercial vehicle portfolio. Isuzu will produce low cab forward models for GM, based off of the Isuzu N-Series. The vehicles will be distributed by participating Chevrolet dealers in the U.S. market starting in 2016. To strengthen the product lineup, GM and Isuzu will explore the use of GM commercial vehicle components for Isuzu low cab forward trucks and GM will continue to produce and supply the 6.0L V-8 gas engine and six-speed transmission for Isuzu gasoline-powered low cab forward trucks. Isuzu and GM have maintained a strategic partnership for more than 40 years, producing collaborative business opportunities throughout the world. This agreement continues that tradition and reinforces a long-term relationship that helps to explore future collaborations in the U.S. commercial vehicle business.

(NYSE:GM, TSX: GMM) and its partners produce vehicles in 30 countries, and the company has leadership positions in the world's largest and fastest-growing automotive markets.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):

Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.
