1962 Chevrolet Nova Station Wagon on 2040-cars
Blanding, Utah, United States
Update 1/11/14 10:00 pm. I've had people asking about rust, so I went down and pulled the floor mats out of it and checked it out. The subframe looks good. I didn't find any rust problems there. The floor is still pretty solid, but it does have some rust through. Both rear floors - at the fee of the back seat occupants, have an inch or so diameter hole. On the driver's side someone has drilled a couple holes and strung a wire through it to hold up the exhaust system -- pretty fancy! The driver's side front had flakey surface rust, but I didn't find any rust out. The pass. side front is by far the worst. The bottom edge where the firewall and floor meet has come lose due to rust. There is also several rust out holes all across it. It could possibly use a pan, but I believe it's repairable without one. I wouldn't use a pan on either of the back floors. If it'll let me add a picture or two of the rust I'll do so. The upper door hinge on the right front door is broken. Also, where the window frame attaches on the top, back of the door it has come lose. There is a significant dent on the pass. side rear door as well, and a dent on the right rear quarter. The glass is all there except the pass. front door glass and the tailgate glass. It has an inline 6 engine in it and a bell housing, but the transmission is gone. Keep asking questions... This is one of several cars I hauled in a couple years ago so I don't know very much about it. Basically, what you see is what you get. I can take additional pictures and check out specific items for you if you're interested. It sat in an unprotected, abandoned storage area behind a dealership for at least 30 years. It's actually a pretty straight old car with, in my opinion, a huge amount of potential. I just don't have the time, ability, and interest to do anything with it. While loading it to bring it in, its bad passenger-side front door got tweaked and the door glass shattered. The windshield has a couple chips in it, but it could be used as is. Please do your homework before bidding on this non-running vehicle. I live just outside Blanding, UT, 84511 and it is pricey and difficult to get a shipper in here. More than likely, shipping it any distance will cost you more than what you will probably be able to get the car for. Assuming we don't get a lot of snow or rain, we should be able to get the car out without too much difficulty, especially with a good winch or roll-back. If weather does intervene, there is no problem with leaving it where it sits for some time. This is a no-reserve auction, so, obviously, my starting price of $700 means that if I get one bid for that amount, then the car will sell. I have no idea if I'm in the ballpark, so I'll let you, the buyers, decide what it's worth. If it's not worth that much to someone, then I'll have to reassess it and go from there. I want a $200 deposit through Paypal within 48 hours of the close of the auction and then we can determine how the rest is to be paid off, depending on your pick up plans and so forth. Once again, I only know what I've told you and what I can physically see about the car. I can take more pictures as needed or go down and check out specific parts/issues. Also, if you're in the vicinity and have interest, by all means, come and check it out yourself. Either email me through Ebay or call 435-459-0591 to discuss it or get more information. I have a clear Utah title to it. |

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs Big Three-Row Crossovers | Spec comparison
Fri, Jan 8 2021The three-row 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is here, entering an ever-growing segment of big crossovers that Jeep has ignored since the Commander of the late 2000s. Of course, the Dodge Durango has basically been a three-row version of the current Grand Cherokee with Dodge styling and a different interior, so it's not like The Corporate Entity Formerly Known as Chrysler has been without a contender in the segment. Jeep is a stronger brand than Dodge, however, and the three-row midsize segment is stronger than those with two rows (there's a vast sales difference between the Chevrolet Traverse and Blazer, as well as the Honda Pilot and Passport). In other words, the Grand Cherokee L could be a very big deal. It is also, quite literally, a very big deal. As you're about to see, it is now the largest three-row crossover, besting the length, wheelbase and height of even the gargantuan Traverse. There's more to the story than that, however, so we put together the below comparison chart to show you how the new Grand Cherokee L lines up on paper versus the biggest three-row crossovers. That includes the 2021 Ford Explorer, 2021 Kia Telluride, 2021 Hyundai Palisade and 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. This group also represents some of the strongest entries in the segment as well as those we feel are most likely to be considered alongside the big Jeep. To that end, we also included the 2021 Lincoln Aviator in the chart since its base price is actually less than what we anticipate the luxurious, range-topping Grand Cherokee L Overland and Summit trim levels to start. Engines and drivetrains Note the differences in curb weight here. The Grand Cherokee L has the highest base curb weight of the group apart from the high-lux Aviator, yet its 3.6-liter V6 has the least amount of power and torque. Therefore, it'll be surprising if it's not the slowest in the group. There's of course the Hemi V8 available on the top Overland and Summit trim levels, but again, a hefty curb weight works against it. At 5,330 pounds, the lightest V8-powered JGCL weighs 600 pounds more than V6-power Explorer Platinum and ST models. On the other hand, nothing can touch the Hemi Jeep's towing capacity, and only the 400-hp Aviator betters the Jeep's base V6. Its 6,200-pound towing capacity greatly outdoes the 5,000-pound limits of not only the Telluride, Palisade and Traverse, but most others in the segment as well.
Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber
Thu, Dec 7 2017It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.
