1954 Bel Air 210
This is a 1954 Bel Air 210 with a 235 6 cyl and a Powerglide Automatic transmission. This old coupe has been well taken care of and is a cool looking old cruiser. This car fires right up every time and hums like a sewing machine. It runs and drives beautifully. It has been converted to 12 volts. It has a new gas tank, new tires, and new headlight bucket assemblies with wiring harness. The car has been lowered 4" in the front by cutting the springs and 3" in the rear with lowering blocks.
The car was painted recently painted with a two tone powder blue and white paint job with lace panels sprayed on the roof to give it that old school hot rod look that both old timers and new car enthusiast can appreciate. The front portions of the rear quarter panels have been replaced. (the round humps where the gravel guards are). The chrome trim all around the car is in good condition except the rocker panel strips and the tail light bezels.Those can each be replaced for about $80. The gravel guards look good, but they have some scratches and dings (probably from doing their job). I spent a lot of time finding the right clips for the trim all over the car. The only clips I couldn't find were for the trim piece above the rear quarter window. Right now they are being held by trim tape. Its working well, but I want the new buyer to be aware of this. The front and rear emblems have been shaved. The chrome strip that goes down the center of the hood is brand new and gives the whole front of the car a smoother look. The rear quarters behind the rear tires have some body filler in them, but they weren't bad enough to warrant being replaced with a patch panel. You'd be hard pressed to find a 60 year old car now a days without any body filler for under $20k. This is a reasonably priced awesome old car that anyone could enjoy.
The interior is in GREAT shape. It has been reupholstered within the last 5-10 years. It has black carpeting and a dark navy blue seats and door panels. The trunk is overall solid with small pin holes and a nickel sized hole in the spare tire well. The whole trunk has been sprayed with a truck bed liner coating.
The wheels are the original steelies painted black with bullet lug nuts and new ribbed trim rings. One wheel stud on the rear axle needs to be replaced. The car comes with 2 new wheel cylinders, 3 new front brake lines and a new wheel bearing in case you need them in the future. Also included are a set of fender skirts painted to match the car. I didn't put them on because I don't have the clips needed to attach them.
The driver's door window has a small crack in the corner near the door lock, the passenger rear quarter window was shot with a BB gun and the passenger wing window has a small crack in it as well. The rest of the glass is in great shape to include the windshield and the rear window. The cracked glass does not impede any function or viewing. They're all flat pieces and can be easily replaced. The windshield wiper motor is still the original vacuum unit and it might work, but I don't know anything about them. I planned on picking up an electric one for a hundred bucks and being done with it.
The original tire jack and spare tire also come with the car. I have tried to be as honest as possible listing the good with the bad, but I know I am missing something. As I think of things I will add them as the auction goes on. With that being said please feel free to ask any and all questions. I will do my best to answer them as quickly as possible. Also if there are any specific pictures you would like to see just ask and I will get them out to you ASAP. I do have a clean and clear NC title for this car.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

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.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
