1954 Chevrolet Bel Air Base Sedan 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Bristol, Indiana, United States
1954 Chevrolet BelAir 235 CU. 6 CYL Automatic - Power Glide - 2 Door Original color with one re-paaint - Peblo Tan and Indian Ivory 40,145 miles on old speedometer - 496 miles on new speedometer. I came across NOS speedometer, complete in box and since the old speedometer worked but was noisy, I changed the speedometer. Both speedometers come with car, as seen in pictures. INTERIOR: Beautiful headliner, new rope, and tack strip professionally installed. The dashboard and steering column were professional painted the original color. Beautiful job. New carpet and padding. Seats: The top of backseat was sun burnt so I tried putting NOS seat covers on, as you can see in the pictures, but the bottom of backseat did not fit so that's when I quit. Probably should just get new covers and start over. EXTERIOR: Solid South Carolina car brought to Indiana about 8 years ago. Always parked inside and not driven in any kind of winter weather. I can see a small amount of body work between trunk lid and bumper pan. Shown in pictures. Rest of the car is solid including floor pans and all panels. Driver's side window works but does not work smoothly. Fogging on both wing vent windows. Other things: If car sets for a few weeks and you do not drive regularly the transmission pan gasket leaks but if driven regularly it does not leak at all. I was told that it had a re-built motor installed in about 1996 but I do not have receipt for it. I do have receipt for re-built transmission installed 2/14/1996. I have a whole package of receipts for other things done to the car including when it was converted to 12 volt. This will come with the car. New front shocks were installed last year also new water pump. A new battery approximately 2 years ago. GAUGES: Gas gauge does not work - all other gauges work. Has good replacement radio with cassette with Chevy emblem but it is hooked to old original speaker and does not sound too good. I have original radio if wanted. The horn stuck on so I had to disconnect wires at the horns. Also, took horn ring out under the cap on steering wheel, it is in the glove box. All and all the car runs and drives and still has plenty of pep. It will turn heads wherever you drive it! We have sold our home and moving to a new place with less garage space. For more information call 574-361-5673 as I'm sure there are things I have missed in the ad. Please DO NOT leave voice mail as I will not receive it. Reasonable Reserve |

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
