1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
-Rat Rod / Daily Driver
* Most important reason for selling* Need to sell quick to help pay for an overseas cancer treatment ($17,000) for my aunt with stage 4 breast cancer. Her appointment is August 7th. Only has a 1 month or 2 to live :(
On to the Bel Air:
Newly rebuilt Chevy 305, sounds good, short cherry bomb exhaust, 4 door, but the 2 rear doors are shaved smooth but they do open and close, has older flat black paint from previous owner. There is no on-going rust. All rust was stopped and repaired by him. The steel body had previous rust, but was replaced with fiberglass and bondo. (mostly where the backseat is, and a tiny bit round the bottom front doors and driver floor pan. The car has a new 700R transmission put it right before I bought it and rebuilt axles. The car has been lowered and has updated suspension. I put in a new gas tank, but when you top it off, it splashes out somewhere in the neck but doesn't leak. Front window is cracked, and one side window. No engine leaks NONE! No leaks in the driveway!, car runs great. Very reliable. I would drive it to another state! Its very solid! I work in the Gulf of Mexico in the oil and gas industry 8 months a year, so the car sits in the car port most of the time. Everytime I come home, it fires right up and I drive it to shows and cruise the beach. Tires are so so , you could go another year or two on the them. Lights, blinkers, turn signals, windows, door handles all work.
This car attracts attention and gets thumbs up where ever you go.
This car doesn't have any options except fog lights and oooga horn.
The temp gauge and tachometer gauge works, and the fuel gauge is kind of half off. but the other gauges do not work.
If you want to remember the old days and hop in and cruise, and maybe you would like a car that you can still drive while you work on it, then this car is for you.
I bought it the way you see it 2 years ago. I wanted something fun to drive and cruise in. My friends all have old cars like this.
I'm trying to tell you everything now, because I will be at work, and my father will have to take care of the sale for me while I'm out here in the Gulf.
No reserve, I have a few people interested in the car now, but some haven't come to view it. I have the right to end the auction early due to a local sale.
Shipping: I would help get the car shipped on your dime. The car is drivable and I would trust it to get me anywhere in the state.
$500 Non-Refundable deposit due 24 hours after aucton ending. The remainder must be paid in full before 7 days, or before or day you pick up the car. I do except cash, paypal (after it clears into bank). The title will be given to you after the money clears.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
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.
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
