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.

Sold on Ct bill of sale. Ct does not issue titles for vehicles over 25 years old.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
