Fly in or have a friend drive you into Tulsa, OK., and you can drive this little jewel home. I can cruise 60 - 65 mph on the interstate and this car handles superbly. No shakes, shimmy's, vibration of any kind. I took my '56 Belair on the Hotrod tour from Tulsa to LA and return with absolutely no problems, and I would not be afraid to do the same with this '52. It has never been cut up, chopped, or modified, and maintains its original stance. I did put new Firestone bias ply 8 years ago and they still look like new... however, they are bias ply and not radials. I was trying to keep it as original as I could... However, my '56 with Coker wide-white radials do make a little difference in handling and braking. Last fall, I took off the bumpers, bumper guards, and front center piece and had them all rechromed. While that was being done, I blocked the old paint and shot two new coats of acrylic urthane on the bottom (GM color Honeydew). The top is acceptable as is... but would be an easy redo as well... The bumpers are back on and I used all new hardware from NationalChevy for my parts order. I have a new set of Ivory window crank knobs that will be included in the sell. Also included will be the new door weather stripping and trunk weather seal. I had this car listed a few weeks back without the bumpers and some old pictures... I decided after the auction ended to dress it up a little more before listing it again. I also purchased some years back a sunvisor, extra front grill, and set of (wrong year) fender skirts. All of those items are also included in the sell. I had a very small oil leak so I decided to replace the valve cover and side cover gaskets... I did a complete oil change at the same time. My original owners manual says it takes 5 quarts with a filter replacement... note that these were dealer installed OEM canisters... For some strange reason, my car needs 5 and 3/4 quarts of oil in order to be on the full mark. I have measured my dipstick and tube, they are correct. This could be why it seeps a little at the rear of the pan when it sits for long periods... I have talked to a lot of stovebolt 6 experts and they are dumbfounded.... I should mention that it does not burn oil, tranny fluid, or use any brake fluid. My reason for selling, is stated on my video... We are retiring and my wife and I plan on moving back to Arizona in the next year... so it's time to let this baby find a new home. I may sell others but for now this is the only one ready to go...... I have a cell phone and don't mind taking calls, just be patient if I don't answer.... I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob 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.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
