This is a very original, rare, and solid Chevy 210 series two door hard top. Out of approx 62,000 + hard tops built in 1953, only 14,000 or so 210 series cars were produced. The rest were Belairs. It only has 92,634actual miles on it. Very solid and straight body car with no signs of rust repair that I can see. All original body panels, floor pans, rockers, body mounts, fenders, door bottoms, etc. with no rust or repair work. The underside of this car looks to have been sand blasted to bare metal and painted black. Very nice job. See pics. ( the brown spots are just mud splatters from a country road with mud puddles ) The one re-paint is very shinny, smooth, and in great shape. Looks to be a single stage urethane enamel job. All of the stainless trim is in great shape. Chrome is presentable, but I would re-chrome both bumpers and grille. The grille is in great shape but it was painted chrome for some reason? I have both front and rear Chevrolet hood emblems that were removed. Both need re-chroming and new plastics if put back on. The hood bird is new reproduction. Have original in trunk also. Also have like new fender skirts and sun visors. New tune up items, belt, hoses, battery. Included is original wheels and hubcaps, and a power assist rack and pinion steering set-up for it, including the frame bracket. Suspension is all new including shocks. It was lowered the right way with dropped spindles and rear spacers. ( see pics ) New shocks, exhaust, brakes, Wide White Wall tires, etc. The wheels are rare and "REAL" original E T uni-lug all aluminum wheels. This car sits right, looks right, drives right, and stops right. You can drive it anywhere and get back home. All lights work. All gauges work. Radio and wipers do not work. Seat covers and door panels appear to be all original and still very nice except for some age stains. Headliner and carpeting has been replaced with new. Still has that great old car smell every time you open up a door. Glass is all good and rolls up and down as it should. Even the trim around the glass is in very good shape. The original 236 engine was completely rebuilt. The 3 speed transmission shifts great. Has a new clutch. Original spare still in the trunk.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly
Fri, Sep 2 2016Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:
GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall
Tue, Apr 14 2015Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
