Original 1959 Belair, Custom Air Ride,hot Rod, Sled, Lowrider,survivor, Chevy, on 2040-cars
Annapolis, Maryland, United States
I am listing the most reliable day driver car I have ever
had. I purchased this car 8 years ago and have put 22,000 miles on the car.
This beautiful car originally came from California, it was then in Washington
state. I purchased it from a man in Ohio. The car is solid. You can check out
all the pictures that I took of under the car. There no rot in any of the floor
panels and rockers. The car is a very
rare color combination of Safire Blue and white. All the trim inside and out is
in good condition. The front brakes have been converted to vented Disk Brakes.
The suspension is all Air ride with 1/8 manual valves. The great thing is you
can leave it pumped up in the garage and it will not lose any air for weeks.
You can slam the car down when you park it and it looks amazing!! I get stopped
every single time I drive the car. When you inflate the suspension it rises to
full stock ride height. I installed new
carpet and headliner when I got it. They are reproduction of stock. We
installed a very custom Hidden radio in the car. You just hit a switch under
the dash and the radio folds out of where the radio delete plate is installed.
It has a speaker in the front dash and 2 that are hidden in the rear speaker
panel. There are 2 amps in the trunk that power everything, including 2, 10
inch subs. I have a cable that comes from under the dash to plug in my i-pod or
my phone. I run Pandora radio through the radio. I did not want to install ugly
antennas on the car. The seats are original with very rear iridescent fabric
that you can see when the sun shines on the interior. Everything in the car works except wipers. I
never drive the car in the rain and if I get caught in the rain I have so much
rain x on the windshield they are not needed. I you want wipers fixed before
taking delivery, that can be arranged. Just call me and we can work out a deal.
I
would not classify this car as a show car, but 90 percent of the people who see
it would say that it is. I would give the car 9 out of 10. It is awesome but
not so perfect that you are afraid to drive it. As you can see by the amount of
miles I have put on it. When I purchased this car from Ohio I drove it home.
You could drive this home if you want. The transmission is 3 on the tree. The
car will cruise at 65 mph with no problem. As you can see from the pictures it
is a 6 cylinder. It gets great gas mileage. Maybe 22mpg? . I have never
actually figured it out. This car is the perfect cruiser. It is smooth and relaxing
to drive. I like it stock with the 6 cylinder. If you wanted to drop a v8 and
make it a Resto-mod this would be the perfect car. One just sold for 60k on Gas
monkey garage. I have seen several of these car sell in that price range on Ebay.
The wheels are chrome and are made by
Coy’s. They are 20’s in the back and 18 in the front. There is only one spot of
rust and that id on the passenger rear quarter panel. See the pictures! I have
a new NOS quarter that is included in the auction. Engine runs great, has new battery. Valves
are little noisy when it is 50 degrees outside but goes away when engine warms
up. Only does that when the temperatures drop. It does not do that in summer or
spring. Has fairly new cap rotor and wires. I would not sell this car but I
have 5 hot rods and another baby on the way. I need to finish other cars and
down size a little. Unfortunately more kids does sometimes mean less toy. Lol.
I do not have to sell this car but it will free up the cash to finish my 49
merc. Call me if you have any questions Mr. Ashley Thompson 443 994 5927. I
will answer any questions you have. (Please look at all the pictures before you
call) |

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip
Wed, Jan 21 2015There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer 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.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
