Up for auction is my 1953 chevrolet sedan 2 door bel air. The car runs great, shifts good, and stops like it is supposed to. The rear of the frame has been c notched with a Gambino kustoms C notch kit and has air ride in the rear with a monoleaf and will lay frame with the stops pulled out. The car is a project/work in progress and is by no means perfect but it is fun to drive and gets alot of looks. The front suspension is stock other than having the springs shortened. The winsheild and back glass are in decent shape with no sugnificant clouding issues but the door glasses are cracked. The interior is not complete, the front and rear seats are in the car but it needs a headliner and door panels. The seats need to be recovered as well if you're looking for a total restoration, I'm rocking some mexican blankets. The car was painted before I purchased it with a flat white body and a heavy metallic blue roof. I have found no rust signs in the exterior of the car but did not see it before it was painted so I can't be positive. There is rust in the bottom of the doors (not on the outer skin) that needs to be patched if you're not going for the rat look. You can't see it unless the doors are open with the door panels removed. I have driven the car several times but the shocks need to be mounted on the rear end and a couple bugs need to be worked out to be 100% road worthy. I also have a NO LIMITS ENGINEERING mustang II front end that I purchased for the car with rack and pinion steering and tubular control arms with air ride that I would sell for an additional 1,500 after the purchase of the car, the kit sells new for 2,300. I will be adding more pics tomorrow.
I added more pics of the interior, engine compartment, and trunk. I also took a picture of the new carb that goes with the car. I tried to take picsof the floor boards and trunk pan but the carpet and insulation is glued down and i didn't want to tear it. I can see that the front pans have been patched and the trunk pan looks solid from what I can see. The spare tire recess has been cut out and welded up so that it doesn't hang down anymore. Again, ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability and remember this is not a show car by any means. It is a good project for someone who wants a rider to tinker with along the way.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
